This week we’re joined by Barbara Nealon of Saint Francis Provisions in Kinsale. The restaurant holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand, and Barbara herself recently won Michelin’s Award for Service.
It’s a lovely reminder that hospitality isn’t just about food, it’s about care, creativity and humanity. From quietly dropping plates in front of guests to picking up international recognition, Barbara and the team are keeping Kinsale, and Ireland, firmly in the “we do it well” category when it comes to looking after people.
