Dylan serves up a winner

It’s champagne time for the country’s top chefs who made the grade in one of the most exclusive culinary and hospitality clubs in the land — the 100 Best Restaurants and 100 Best Places to Stay in Ireland.

Celebrity chef Dylan McGrath and his fantastically successful new venture, Fade Street Social, sees the Irish Masterchef star back in the fold for the first time since the demise of his Michelin-starred restaurant Mint.

First published by John and Sally McKenna in 1992 and now in their 22nd year, the guides are a ‘best of the best’ compiled from the much larger McKennas’ Irish Food Guide. They feature the top 100 restaurants and the top 100 hospitality destinations in the 32 counties as chosen by the Guides’ contributing editors.
