History

Opened in 2015 by couple Paul McDonald and Helen Noonan, The Irish Examiner wrote "calling a relatively new restaurant Bastion in a resort town where there’s an enticing menu on almost every third doorway is a little statement of intent, challengers announcing their arrival as it were." [4] Bastion won a Michelin star in 2020. [5] [6]
