At The Savoy Hotel Limerick · Limerick, Co. Limerick
The Savoy Signature Tasting Menu is a set-dinner experience at the Library Restaurant inside Limerick’s only five-star hotel, running as part of Twilight Thursday - the city’s weekly evening economy programme. Arriving at 5pm, you have the whole evening ahead: time to linger over each course before heading out into the city. It suits couples marking an occasion, friends after something more considered than a regular restaurant booking, or visitors wanting one genuinely memorable meal during a midwest stay.
The Library is an intimate room with book-lined walls, rich furnishings and a resident pianist - it seats a small number of guests, so the atmosphere is quiet and attentive rather than bustling. The tasting menu showcases Irish produce, drawing from local Limerick suppliers and the Wild Atlantic Way larder: expect artisan breads, Irish cheeses, well-sourced beef, and composed desserts. The kitchen works in the classical European tradition but uses contemporary presentation. Wine pairing is available alongside the menu. The dinner window runs until 9pm, leaving plenty of time to move into the city for live music, late bars or a show after you eat. Booking in advance is strongly advised - the Library takes a limited number of covers and the Thursday evening slot fills.
The Savoy Hotel sits in Limerick city centre. Colbert Station is served by Iarnrod Eireann from Dublin Heuston (around 2 hours) and Cork (around 1 hour 45 minutes). Bus Eireann connects Limerick to most of the midwest and west. If you are driving, the M7 brings you from Dublin and the M20 from Cork. Multi-storey car parks are within short walking distance; on-street parking in the immediate area is limited on Thursday evenings.
Limerick has a strong food scene and a compact city centre that rewards an evening on foot - the medieval quarter, King John’s Castle and the Gallery of Limerick are all within easy reach of the hotel. Twilight Thursday typically brings live music and cultural events across the city on the same evening, so there is good reason to stay out after dinner. There is more to see in Limerick and across Co. Limerick.
