Four Irish restaurants are among the new names to be awarded Michelin Bib Gourmand status this year.

Cronin’s in Crosshaven is among 30 pubs across the island of Ireland that have reached the Michelin standard for good pub grub.

A 19th-century inn in Co Clare has become the latest Irish restaurant to be added to the prestigious Michelin star list.

Cork and Down have topped the Michelin choices for best pub grub in Ireland.

The days of having to put up with dodgy pub food are at an end, as more pubs have earned the right to be named as some of the best places to eat.
