John and Sally McKenna say this year’s Top Ten is a combination of great food and a memorable dining experience:
“We have decades of experience covering the Top 100 Best Restaurants in Ireland and we have learned that not only do Irish people want high-quality food, they want an exciting and dynamic cultural experience, a combination of excellent service, a welcoming atmosphere and good value for money.
“This year, we decided to incorporate all these factors into our Top Ten and celebrate the very best that Irish cooking has to offer. Of course, this is a tough time for Irish restaurants and sadly there have been many closures, however, tough times encourage people to up their game and the Irish restaurant industry has done just that, creating truly memorable culinary experiences.”
