Ireland has just added three new Bib Gourmand restaurants to its tally of 26 ‘great places to eat at moderate prices’
star restaurants may well represent the very best of cuisine, but the downside is they can be prohibitively expensive for the average diner. This is why Michelin ’s Bib Gourmand category is always well worth checking out. These are the restaurants Michelin inspectors have deemed to offer quality cooking and great value, making them a lot more attainable for more “price sensitive” customers. They also tend to be a bit more informal and less fussy than their ‘starred’ counterparts.
Here is the complete list of Ireland’s Bib Gourmand restaurants and what the Michelin inspectors said about each one.“There’s a huge amount of passion channelled into this welcoming little wine bar. Hungarian-born Zsolt Lukács has an infectious enthusiasm for wine, which comes across in his carefully curated list that gravitates towards small artisan producers using organic and biodynamic methods.
“With a name meaning ‘Baby Dede’, this second Baltimore venture from chef Ahmet Dede is an ode to his family and comes with all the homespun charm you’d expect. Located mere feet away from his acclaimed flagship restaurant, this is a more relaxed affair but the great value sharing plates retain the older sibling’s ethos of Turkish flavours married with Irish produce.
