It’s time to raise a glass to Raglan Road Irish Pub and Restaurant in Disney Springs for throwing the mightiest of St. Patrick’s Day celebrations this weekend!
We were invited out to the Mighty Festival St. Patrick’s day week at Raglan Road to preview the Irish shenanigans! You can expect great Irish food, live music & cheer now through St. Patrick’s Day.
We got the Irish party started with the Pride of the Peninsula cocktail. (Shenanigans are optional)
Start with one of the many craft beers or imports on tap and don’t overlook that Raglan road offers delicious craft cocktails. We enjoyed the Pride of the Peninsula cocktail made with Dingle Irish gin, Fever tree elderflower tonic, fresh lime, cucumber and mint. We loved the crisp, refreshing notes that complimented all of the food we tried.
Irish food for everyone at Raglan Road!
Ragland Road is the perfect place to celebrate all things Irish, any day with your favorite people and easily accommodates dietary preferences of all kinds. (Keto, paleo, Gluten Free, vegetarian, vegan and more- just speak with your server.) Get to know new Irish cuisine or enjoy traditional favorites!
Heavenly Ham features Irish Mist glazed loin of bacon.
Hearty Irish cuisine includes the Hog in the Box and the Heavenly Ham– Irish mist glazed loin of bacon with Savoy cabbage, colcannon potatoes and parsley cream sauce with a raisin cider jus.
The Raglan Risotto is a vegetarian-friendly risotto topped with micro greens and a crunchy parmesan crisp! Add Sea Scallops for a gourmet pescatarian entree.
The Raglan Risotto and the Gnocchi Sea Gnocchi Do are delicious as described on the menu or can easily accommodate Pescatarian and vegetarian diners by adding or subtracting scallops. The Georges Bank scallops at Raglan Road are always cooked to perfection!
I cannot pass up the Fish & Chips when dining at Raglan Road, the crispy beer battered fish are a delicious entree or a shareable for the table. If you are Gluten Free, speak with your server for their GF Fish & Chips!
We were invited to sample the Mini Chicken Sliders, which will be appearing soon at Cookes of Dublin. The slider features crispy breaded chicken with bacon jam and pickled onions. The group bit into the tender white meat chicken marveling at the big savory flavors thanks to the bacon jam and pickled onions. Cookes of Dublin is located adjacent to Raglan Road, a great option for an Irish bite on the go.
Save room for dessert! Fluffy Lemon Clouds feature a pleasantly intense lemon curd topped with coffee meringue.
To quote the talented chef Carla Hall, ‘we love a good pucker!’ The silky lemon curd delivers bright, fresh acidity of fresh lemons with the fluffy meringue providing the perfect sweet compliment.
Ger’s Bread and Butter Pudding with crème anglaise and butterscotch sauce are the standard in which I compare all bread puddings. Never dry or heavy, Ger’s bread and butter pudding delights with rich and buttery goodness. Happily, all of these yummy menu items are available on the regular Raglan Road menu.
I hope you are able to catch Ben Gunnery, Irish music superstar, on your visit. Check out my stories for a few videos of his toe-tapping talent. Join Raglan Road in celebrating the rich Irish culture and cuisine this weekend at the Mighty Festival. Sláinte!
