Our Story

Bearú has been the dream of husband and wife team Dave and Siobhán for many years. To make it a reality they sold their home in Dublin and moved their family – kids, dog, cat and fish – down to the beautiful Kilkenny countryside of The Rower where Siobhán grew up.

They both believe passionately in good food, coffee, wine and great service. At Bearú they will place an emphasis on seasonal, local, and wild foods cooked and presented in a modern yet humble and comforting way – and all in a friendly and welcoming atmosphere.

With almost 25 years’ experience as a chef, many of them as a head chef in charge of running busy and much loved restaurants, Dave is excited to finally have his own place where he can create a very special dining experience for Bearú’s guests.
