Two Dublin<\/a> restaurants<\/a> have been added to the Michelin Guide<\/a>, bringing to 112 the number of restaurants in the Republic featured among the coveted listings. Both of the new additions – Vada<\/a> and Borgo<\/a> – are located in Dublin 7<\/a> and both are relatively new arrivals on the city\u2019s dining scene.<\/p>\n

Inclusion in the Michelin Guide does not equate to a star or Bib Gourmand (these are awarded at the guide\u2019s annual ceremony), but it is nonetheless seen as a strong boost to an outlet\u2019s reputation. The Michelin inspectors said \u201cyou can\u2019t help but fall for\u201d Vada in Stoneybatter, which they described as warm and welcoming. <\/p>\n

\u201cIn the day it\u2019s a simple caf\u00e9 serving particularly good coffee and viennoiserie, before the kitchen steps up a gear in the evening with cooking that is a feast for the eyes and the taste buds,\u201d they said.<\/p>\n

\u201cFlavour-packed\u201d dishes drawing on global influences included a venison fattoush salad with baba ganoush. Vada opened in late 2024.<\/p>\n

In Borgo in Phibsborough, which opened earlier this year, inspectors found an Italian osteria transplanted to Dublin with \u201can almighty buzz from the many happy diners feasting on its simply delicious cooking\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe enticing menu ranges from sourdough pizzette to homemade pastas and a wood-fired section showcasing prime fish and meat. The generous, well-priced plates have an honest simplicity to them, with recognisable dishes cooked with skill and packing in plenty of flavour.\u201d<\/p>\n

The inspectors recommended polenta cake with seasonal fruit for dessert.<\/p>\n

Some 52 Dublin restaurants now feature in the Michelin listings, which are updated every month. Fifteen are listed for \u201cBelfast and surroundings\u201d.<\/p>\n
