Hello & welcome 🤍
Before we introduce what’s next, we want to acknowledge what’s come before.
This space has long been a gathering place for the Munster community and surrounding sister communities, built on good food, shared tables, and a genuine sense of welcome. We’re grateful to the previous owners for creating something so meaningful, and it’s an honour to carry that spirit forward.
We’re excited to introduce Ashlar. A new chapter for this historic space, thoughtfully reimagined with intimate dining and elevated hospitality at its heart. Our intention is simple: to continue offering a place where people gather, linger, and connect over delicious food, for Munster and beyond.
To begin, we’re hosting our first Ashlar Dinner Series on January 22, a candlelit, multi-course evening designed to be warm, indulgent, and deeply memorable.
