The Purple Onion bar, restaurant and art gallery. your hosts
Paul Dempsey and Pauline Roe In 2003 we moved to our present premises here in Tarmonbarry, Co.

We opened 'The Purple Onion' in May 2000, first situated in Conlons Church street Athlone, we then moved to O' Neills, Mardyke street, Athlone in September 2001. Roscommon

Our food philosophy is simple, quality ingredients, classic combinations, unfussy and unpretentious.

'John Stone' dry aged steaks, grilled on a lava rock charcoal grill. Thornhill duck from Blacklion Co. Cavan, rumps of Roscommon lamb prepared, and then, in to the sous vide for four hours of slow cooking. Sourcing quality suppliers including Connemara Smokehouse for smoked salmon and gravadlax

Jack McCarthy from Kanturk for black pudding and Irish 'pastrami'. Kardemumma from Sligo for fabulous teas. Jane Russell for some of the best sausages you can get. Featherbed Farm, super indulgent ice creams. All desserts are made by Pauline, who has been making our Toblerone cheesecake since we were based in Athlone. Chocolate is always either Valrhona, Caco Barry or my favourite Callebaute. We serve most of our wines by the glass, pichet and bottle. An art gallery above the bar displays a wide range of established and up and coming artists with an emphasis on quality.
