So, there’s the three generations of McKennas in Over
The Moon – Granny, Mum and Dad, and the three kids
– and are we having the best time? We sure are.

Why? Simple: Jennifer Conradie is one of the best front- of-house operators in the entire business – this girl is a true star – and François Conradie’s cooking is so moreish, so elegant and controlled and dedicated to deliciousness – that having a good time in OTM is a given, a guarantee, copper fastened, blue chip. Everything we ate – from West Cork crab mayonnaise with sourdough toast and fennel salad, by way of classics like spring lamb with champ and a red wine jus or hake with fried polenta and green beans and roast fennel, and
culminating in apple, rhubarb and ginger crumble with vanilla ice cream – was food that seemed to have been coaxed into sublime deliciousness, food that had been given an extra dose of TLC from everyone down the line, from the suppliers to the kitchen to the staff out front: feel the love! taste the passion! All this goodness, and amazing value for money. Phew!
