Of The Morrison Room, The Michelin Guide says: “We all need a little glamour in our lives, and this restaurant within the vast, luxurious Carton House resort provides it in spades. The room is gloriously showy and boldly ornate; this is certainly dressing up time. The menu is an eclectic mix of French classicism, Asian influences and, of course, prime Irish ingredients – be sure to try the delicious Irish cheeses with honey from the Estate.”
