15 LIMERICK eateries will now do battle amongst the best in the country at the All-Ireland Restaurant Awards #FoodOscars next month as the competition celebrates its tenth year.
County winners from each of the 16 categories have already been announced at our four regional awards which took place recently in Munster, Leinster, Connaught and Ulster.
These establishments are now in line to compete for Regional and All-Ireland titles in their respective categories at the Clayton Hotel in Dublin on May 14 next.
Adrian Cummins, Chief Executive of the Restaurants Association commented: “The Irish Restaurant Awards are an opportunity for local businesses to receive much-needed recognition of their hard work and commitment to excellence. These establishments drive tourism both locally and on a national scale, making Ireland a desirable destination for global travellers.
“The Irish Restaurant Awards prides itself on celebrating the very best in local produce, flawless customer care and unrivalled dining experiences to anywhere in the world. We wish all our county winners and those nominated in our national categories the best of luck”.
