Six Irish restaurants have been added to the prestigious Michelin Guide, bringing Ireland’s tally to an impressive 117 venues.<\/p>\n

The latest additions include Mongoose, D\u00edon and China Hunan in Dublin, as well as Bear\u00fa in New Ross, Co Wexford; Grain Store at Killruddery in Co Wicklow; and The Universal in Co Galway.<\/p>\n

Operated by the French company Michelin, the guide lists renowned restaurants and hotels from around the globe. Originally launched in 1900 to encourage road travel and boost tyre sales, it has evolved into one of the most respected authorities on fine dining and hospitality worldwide.<\/p>\n

Inclusion in the Michelin Guide does not equate to a star or Bib Gourmand, but it is a significant accolade to receive in the industry.<\/p>\n

These latest additions have come with rave reviews from inspectors, who have praised the impressive selection of cuisines, produce, and views on offer.<\/p>\n

In Dublin city, D\u00edon was lauded for its 360-degree views of the city and “retro-futurist feel”, while Bear\u00fa in Co Wexford was hailed for its “unfussy” dishes and use of “superb quality” ingredients.<\/p>\n

Mongoose, an offering from the “charming team” behind Variety Jones, garnered exceptional praise from the inspectors, who highlighted the homemade pastas and whole wood-roasted chicken as their top picks from the seasonal menu.<\/p>\n

Ranelagh hotspot China Hunan was described as a place of “understated glamour”, thanks to its “dark patterned tiles, olive-green banquettes and a bar topped with Connemara marble”. Additionally, inspectors noted “generous portions” and “good value for money”.<\/p>\n

Located in a converted barn on the 800-acre Killruddery House and Gardens estate, The Grain Store was commended for its “top-quality produce”, while the Universal in Co Galway was extolled for a “concise menu” that showcased “the best of the Irish larder”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Six Irish restaurants have been added to the prestigious Michelin Guide, bringing Ireland’s tally to an impressive 117…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":603373,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[93,61,60],"class_list":["post-603372","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/603372","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=603372"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/603372\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/603373"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=603372"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=603372"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=603372"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
