New Galway restaurant set to open its doors
New food and wine bar Fawn is the newest gastronomic venture from business duo Jason and Ervin, who plan to bring the small plates trend to Oranmore.
The restaurant's kitchen opening times will see doors close on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
'Dear Friends, we are super excited to announce that we will be opening our doors this evening at 18:00.
'We are so excited to welcome our first guests. Join us for dinner over the weekend!'
Owners shared a snapshot of their menu on social media, listing the small and big dishes that will be served at the chic new spot.
Amongst the small plate options are Toonsbridge burrata, seafood chowder and Doonbeg crab meat, while the big plates menu boasts pan fried hake and dry aged chicken.
The opening of the restaurant was announced earlier this month with owners promising a combination of eclectic dishes and unique wine choices.
The pair are opening the new restaurant on in the heart of the town's Main Street as they allowed customers a sneak peek of what to expect.
They said: 'We will be opening our doors very soon, and we would like to introduce to you Joe and Rosabelle Burke, and Fawn Wine Bar.
'We have designed our kitchen to be in the centre of the building, with open views of the cooking line from the two sides.

'Fawn Restaurant is on the right, and Fawn Wine Bar is on the left hand side of the ktchen.
'We're delighted to be partnering with Joe and Rosabelle Burke, whose roots run deep in this community.
'Joe grew up next door to what is now Fawn, in the heart of Oranmore. His father even put the roof on the very building that now houses our new restaurant and wine bar.
'Rosabelle, originally from Loughrea, went to school in Oranmore when Calasanctius was still a girls' boarding school. Somewhere along the way, she and Joe crossed paths, and the rest, as they say, is (a lot of) history.
'Rosabelle will be hosting your experience in the wine bar, where you will find a fun selection available by the glass and bottle from our cellar. We will have local cheese and charcuterie platters, small plates of local produce and nibbles to match our wines, all cooked by Jason, Sarah and the team. We do encourage sharing.
'We can't wait to open our doors and welcome you in soon!'

Cork's hugely-popular Bakestone Café opens new branch in city centre premises with ‘real history'
Bakestone was founded by Joe and Maura Carey in 2013, when the couple's simple idea to create a space serving dishes made with local ingredients came to life. The first Bakestone café is housed in a former showroom in Carrigtwohill, and the capacity has grown to 240 seats since opening 12 years ago. The Cork City Bakestone café has created 18 jobs locally, and the team is led by Head Chef Pat Kiely and Front of House Manager Heather Doody. Co-founder Joe Carey said the Perry Street space 'felt right in the moment we saw it.' 'There's real history in the building, tied to Cork's Butter Exchange and to our own family's roots in dairy farming. 'It felt like a natural next step, like things coming full circle. 'We've dreamed for years of bringing Bakestone into the city, and to now be part of this community means a great deal,' he said. Bakestone growing expertise over the years led to the launch of the Bakestone Pantry in 2017. What started as a small collection of around 20 items has since grown into a range of over 150 Irish-made products, curated expertly by Bakestone General Manager Neil Muscheidt. The new Perry Street space can seat 100 customers and will also serve as a venue for community events, live music, launches and creative collaborations with other Cork businesses. Co-founder Maura Carey added that the married couple 'always admired the independent food scene' in the city. 'To now have a place among so many great local businesses is something we're really proud of. 'Our hope is that this café becomes part of the everyday rhythm of the city, a space where people can pause, connect, and enjoy food made with real care,' she said. Bakestone on Perry Street is now open and serves breakfast, brunch, and lunch seven days a week. Visit for more information, including full opening hours and menu updates.
