Introduction
A passion for food and culture led Sarah Nic Lochlainn and Sarajit Chanda to travel to many countries around the world before they met in Sydney in 1999.
Sarah had lived and worked in Ireland, France, Italy and Spain, and travelled through South East Asia on her way to Australia. Sarajit had learned his trade in his native Bangladesh before moving to Calcutta, India where he learned North Indian cuisine. In Sydney he worked under a master of South Indian cuisine who taught him the alchemy of spices.
When they moved to Dublin in 2001, Sarah managed an Italian restaurant while Sarajit worked as head chef at Tribeca in Ranelagh. Here his fascination with world food reached its peak. He spent many hours on- and off-duty with chefs from all over the globe, as well as with his textbooks, learning dishes from various countries. His repertoire extended to Lebanese Mezze, Spanish Paella, Italian rustic dishes, French seafood, Thai curries and many more besides.
In 2003, Sarah managed Mint Restaurant in Ranelagh from its opening stages to the attainment of great acclaim. In 2005, the pair decided they had enough experience under their belts to open their first restaurant.
Their research led them to Ardee, a town one hour north of Dublin. There they saw a gap in the market for a mid-range, family restaurant that offered people the chance to taste flavours from around the world.
In July 2005, they opened Fuchsia House Restaurant and The Gables Bar.
They started off with a comparatively conservative menu and introduced new dishes through their specials board. Popular demand led them to incorporate many of these into their menu, which today includes Indonesian Chicken Satay, Lebanese Mezze, Thai Red Beef Curry, Indian Curries, Italian Stuffed Chicken rolled in Pancetta, gourmet New York-style Burgers and locally-produced Angus Steak.
In July 2006, Fuchsia House Restaurant and The Gables Bar received a rave review from Tom Doorley, restaurant critic with The Irish Times, who included it is his gastro-tour of Ireland in August of the same year and in his favourite 20 restaurants outside Dublin in June 2008. Tom Doorley described it as 'outstanding... service is utterly charming, and you will leave feeling better in every senseâ?.
In 2006 it also received the Georgina Campbell Award and the Bridgestone Award, and many other favorable reviews.
Fuchsia House Restaurant and The Gables Bar is an unexpected gem on the outskirts of a provincial town and one that the locals are proud to call their own.
