Last October, Stephane Delourme arrived to The Brehon for the first edition of our Chef Series. Stephane brought his signature passion for seafood and Celtic traditions to The Brehon. Guests were treated to a live seafood BBQ demonstration on a traditional Ofyr ring grill using wooden coals.

This summer, Stephane returns for another showdown with our Executive Chef, Chad Byrne. This year, we’ll have a fresh new menu, the same incredible seafood, live-fire cooking on the ring grill, and an unbeatable atmosphere—all served up under our stretch tent for a summer evening to remember.
