A 19th-century inn 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.

Counties Cork and Down have both secured six listings in the 2015 Michelin ‘Eating Out In Pubs’ guide.

All of Ireland’s nine Michelin star restaurants have retained their status.

There are no new recipients of Michelin Stars in the Guide Great Britain & Ireland 2015 just published today.

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.

Nine Irish restaurants have been awarded Michelin stars, among them two new recipients of the coveted accolade.

Glasses were being raised last night in hostelries around Cork as it emerged that seven of the county’s pubs have achieved listings in the latest edition of Michelin Eating Out In Pubs Guide.

Ireland’s culinary star was in the ascendancy last night as two restaurants in Galway and Dublin were confirmed as having received coveted Michelin Stars.
