Eugene Gallagher and his fiancee Sharon Norris of Nirvana Restaurant, with Shane Smith, Managing Director of YesChef Ireland Magazine
The team at Nirvana Restaurant in Ballyshannon were in great form last weekend, and they had good reason to be happy.
The restaurant was celebrating one year in business which is a great milestone in itself but there was a second reason for excitement as Nirvana picked up a recent Yes Chef Award for their 'Front of House Team'.
