Three Irish restaurants have been awarded their first Michelin Star.
Michelin unveiled the 2024 restaurant selection of The MICHELIN Guide Great Britain & Ireland during a special ceremony held at The Midland Hotel in Manchester.
This year also marks the 50th anniversary of The MICHELIN Guide in Great Britain & Ireland.
Three restaurants in Clare, Tipperary and Dublin scored their first stars, while one Cork restaurant gained its second star, in as many years.
Homestead Cottage in Doolin, Co Clare, with its delicious cooking, makes a visit to the rural west coast all the more appealing.
Further inland, The Bishop’s Buttery offers top-quality produce and great natural flavours to the Cashel Palace Hotel in Tipperary, and D’Olier Street boosts Dublin’s dining scene with visually striking and technically accomplished dishes.
County Cork has another Two Star restaurant to add to its collection in the form of Terre. Gaining One Star last year and now a second, Vincent Crepel and his kitchen team have made impressively quick work of crafting a bold, assuredly two Stars experience.
Gwendal Poullennec, international director of The MICHELIN Guide commented: “The dining scene in Great Britain and Ireland continues to be both innovative and impressive."
"Among all of the newly awarded Stars, both the quality and variety of the dining experiences are wonderful to see. There are enormously talented chefs turning their hands to anything from wood-fired sharing plates to finely tuned sushi.
"To have so much positive news to share with the industry, at a time when restaurants are facing so many challenges, gives me great pride and is proof of the continued vitality within British and Irish dining."
