The Mustard Seed at Echo Lodge

Most food critics place this elegant rural spot among the top restaurants in the country. The chef uses fresh, organic herbs and vegetables from the restaurant's own gardens and all meats are sourced from local organic producers, so the food is as fresh as it can be. The cooking style is an intelligent mixture of European styles with an Irish touch, evidenced in such dishes as pan-seared Irish beef on wild mushroom polenta with Parmesan crackling, or breast of Barbary duck on buttered greens with lime-and-vanilla mash and chocolate oil. Dinner here is a memorable event.
