The Michelin Guide Great Britain & Ireland 2025 has just rolled out the red carpet for three outstanding Irish restaurants making their debut with a Michelin star! The prestigious ceremony held in Glasgow dazzled attendees, with the latest culinary stars taking the spotlight. Carton House stole the show with chefs Adam Nevin, Richard Picard-Edwards, and Danny Africano securing their well-deserved stars, while the Daróg Wine Bar got its moment in the sun with the coveted Sommelier Award! 🍷

In addition to Carton House, two other remarkable establishments were honored. Ballyfin Demesne, nestled at the foot of the Slieve Bloom Mountains in County Laois, has quickly become a favorite since its opening in 2011, led by its passionate Executive Chef. Meanwhile, LIGИUM in Galway is making waves as a culinary hotspot, showcasing Irish ingredients in innovative ways that scream fine dining. Each of these triumphant restaurants not only showcases exceptional gastronomy but represents the vibrant and evolving gastronomic landscape of Ireland.

Much to everyone's delight, the festivities didn’t end there! The event unveiled a total of 26 restaurants new to the Michelin scene, with a mix of One-Stars and the impressive awarding of a Three-Star accolade to Moor Hall in Lancashire. Meanwhile, The Ritz in London made the move up to the Three-Star circle, proving that not just Scotland and Ireland have culinary prowess! These recognitions reflect the relentless passion and talent of chefs throughout the region.

As Ireland celebrates its culinary prowess, it's important to note that receiving a Michelin star can significantly elevate a restaurant’s profile. The Michelin Guide is often referred to as the 'bible' of fine dining, with its stars treating each restaurant almost like a merit badge of gastronomic excellence. Each star awarded brings not only acclaim but also a wave of eager diners hoping to indulge in the culinary marvels on offer.

Did you know that since the Michelin Guide's first publication in 1900, it has become synonymous with fine dining and gourmet experiences? In 2025, the excitement and anticipation surrounding the annual awards show Ireland's deep-rooted love for food and dining! And if you're wondering what to check out next, Carton House is offering a unique experience that combines exquisite dining with a side of history and nature!
