Powerscourt Hotel Unveils “Taste the Season” — A Seven-Course Celebration of late Spring at SIKA Restaurant
Powerscourt Hotel Resort & Spa is delighted to announce the launch of Taste the Season — a refined seven-course tasting menu now available at the acclaimed SIKA Restaurant. Curated by Executive Chef Cormac McCreary and his passionate culinary team, this seasonal showcase captures late spring's vibrant flavours and delicate nuances.
Set against the spectacular backdrop of the Sugar Loaf Mountain, Taste the Season invites guests to indulge in an elevated dining experience where each dish tells a story of local provenance, creativity, and technical brilliance. With a distinguished career spanning The Ritz London, Mount Juliet Estate, and Sheen Falls Lodge, Chef McCreary brings classical training and contemporary flair to this ambitious new menu.
“At this time of year, nature offers us such fresh, elegant ingredients — it is a joy to work with,” says Chef Cormac. “We are guided by what is at its peak, and we let that lead the way, creating exciting dishes rooted in the season's beauty.”
Each course is a carefully composed expression of balance and flavour, combining precision with imagination. Guests can expect a journey that highlights exceptional Irish ingredients — from delicately seared scallops with yuzu and miso, to tender Wicklow lamb paired with wild garlic and fèves — all artfully plated to reflect the freshness of spring.

¨ Scallop | Leek, Yuzu, Miso
