Irish Restaurant Awards 2013

We’re pleased to announce that we’ve been nominated in the ‘Best Hotel Restaurant’ category for the Irish Restaurant Awards 2013. The awards consider every hotel restaurant in Ireland so we are over the moon we’ve made the final cut. Fingers crossed we win the overall prize! 

The considerations for nomination are as follows:

“The category will recognise a hotel restaurant that demonstrates the very best in a dining experience as evidenced by attention to detail, a well-structured, balanced and appropriate menu, exemplary customer service and enjoyable and suitable atmosphere.”

OMG that is soooo us! 

We’ll keep you updated on the result :)

World's Best Female Chef 2013 - Nadia Santini

Nadia Santini, the head chef of the Michelin-starred Dal Pescatore restaurant in a village in northern Italy, was named Best Female Chef by the World’s 50 Best Restaurants awards on Wednesday.

Santini runs the kitchen at the restaurant in Runate between Mantua and Cremona that was set up in 1925 by her husband’s family.

In 1996 Santini became the first female chef in Italy to be awarded three Michelin stars for her kitchen that produces authentic Italian cuisine combined with modern influences.

Congratulations Nadia!
