The Magnolia Restaurant at the Erinvale Estate Hotel & Spa is presents a new menu concept. This exclusive experience is based on the premise that as the seasons and the availability of items change, so will the dishes offered to guests. The freshest produce is sourced both locally and abroad to ensure that each dish is uniquely prepared with the finest ingredients.
The result is a variety of mouth-watering combinations across many cultural influences, creating a melting pot of flavours to cater for every taste and to delight the most refined palate.
The inspiration for the name ‘Magnolia’ comes from the spectacular flowering magnolia trees on the hotel grounds, which also inspired the elegant décor of the restaurant. The rich silk drapes, chandeliers and original magnolia paintings, which were commissioned for the restaurant, have amalgamated into a dining experience reminiscent of a bye-gone era, but with a definite contemporary twist.
