Cooking over fire in Rural East Galway

03/11/2026

A glimpse into the dining room. Not everything reveals itself at once.

28/10/2026

One of the first bites of the evening: our black garlic tartlet.

A snack that has been part of our menu for some time, evolving with the seasons.

At this time of year, we serve it with venison dry-aged for 21 days, cream charred over the embers of our wood-fired oven and season with Attika vinegar.

Finished with pickled fennel seeds from our kitchen garden and burgundy oxalis.

We’re looking for someone to join our front-of-house team at Lignum.
If you’ve dined with us, chances are you’ve met Elodie.
Originally from Burgundy, Elodie is such an important part of Lignum and the experience we share with our guests. Her infectious smile, natural warmth and charisma at the table make her so special. She has a wonderful ability to make people feel at ease and bring personality to every interaction.
Soon, Elodie will be moving on to her next chapter, leaving us with the rather difficult task of finding someone to fill her shoes.
We’re looking for someone with a genuine love of hospitality. Someone warm, confident and personable, with an eye for detail, a natural ability to connect with people and a passion for creating memorable experiences.
Experience in fine dining is important, but character, enthusiasm and a genuine love of looking after people mean just as much to us.
If this sounds like you, or someone you know, we would love to hear from you.
Please send your CV to [email protected]

We’re closing our doors for a short while.

For the past year, we’ve been quietly working away on plans for the next phase of Lignum, and the time has finally come to get started.

Over the coming weeks, the restaurant will undergo a significant transformation. While the heart of Lignum will remain the same, we’re excited to create a space that reflects where we are today and where we hope to go in the future.

Lignum has always evolved naturally, and this feels like the right time to invest in the space and shape the next chapter of the restaurant.

We’ll be sharing the journey along the way and look forward to welcoming you back when we reopen in mid-July.

Thank you, as always, for your support.
