Restaurants awarded stars by Michelin Two Dublin restaurants
have won their first Michelin stars in the 2008 edition of the Michelin
Guide For Great Britain And Ireland.
Mint in Ranelagh and Bon Appetit in Malahide join three other Dublin restaurants
— Chapter One, L’Ecrivain and Thornton’s — with
one Michelin star.
The Patrick Guilbaud restaurant, also in Dublin, retains its two star
status and is the only Irish restaurant to be awarded more than one star.
The Sha Roe Bistro in Clonegal, Co. Carlow and The Winding Stair in Dublin
city centre were new additions to the Bib Gourmand award, which is given
to restaurants that offer three courses for less than ?40.
No restaurants in the Republic lost either their Michelin star or Bib
Gourmand awards in the latest edition of the guide.
Deane’s Restaurant in Belfast has retained its star for the 12th
consecutive year and is the only Michelin star restaurant in the North. Restaurant
23 in Warrenpoint, Co. Down was awarded a Bib Gourmand award.
Overall, there was no change in the three star awards with the Fat Duck
and Waterside Inn — both in Berkshire — along with Gordon
Ramsey in Chelsea retaining their top status.
This year’s guide includes 15 new one star restaurants.
Making up the list of ‘Rising Stars’ for 2008 are five establishments
tipped for one star and three that are tipped for two stars.
There are also 33 new Bib Gourmand establishments. |
