Take a balmy August day and a seaside village and some surprisingly delicious cooking and utterly heavenly desserts and where are you? Ardmore in West Waterford is the answer, and you are in Whitehorses Restaurant and you have just had a slice of fabulous tiramisu. Yes, yes, we know. You don't order tiramisu anymore because it's become as great a travesty as banoffi pie or Black Forest gateau. Well, believe us, but if you ordered the tiramisu in Whitehorses you will be converted to its nobility in an instant. Christine Power and her sister run a lovely little room here, packed with happy punters.Simply darling.
