Restaurant Review - The Sea Rooms
Wednesday 22 March 2023
Chris Fullam is a young Dublin chef whose star has been steadily on the rise. He’s been in high-end restaurants such as The Greenhouse and the Cliff House Hotel, and I experienced his food when he was head chef at the former Le Perroquet on Leeson Street. There’s an elegance and finesse to everything Fullam does, a lightness of touch, bringing incredible detail and flavour into each element on the plate. Now though, he has the opportunity to really make waves and reach for the stars at The Sea Rooms in Rosslare, which I expect will become a destination restaurant of renown.
Being surrounded by nature, The Sea Rooms is the perfect foil for his talents; it’s an indoor-outdoor dining experience created in the magnificent shoreside gardens of Kelly’s Resort on Rosslare Strand. The chic, mid-century-style, two-storey building rises seamlessly from its sunken lower-level dining room, with floor-to-ceiling windows that open out onto the assimilating terraces, and it also has a custom-designed barbecue kitchen.
