Michelin dishes out praise for Irish eateries

WITH its whitewashed facade and country setting, Fitzpatricks bar and restaurant in Co Louth is the ‘whole’ Irish experience.

That’s according to the 2010 Michelin Eating Out in Pubs Guide, the much-lauded list of which the Jenkinstown establishment is now a part.

Run by husband and wife team Danny and Dympna Fitzpatrick, it is one of 17 Irish pubs commended in the annual guide and boasts a pub, bar, restaurant and ‘beer garden’.
