FOR BREAKFAST - TEN OF THE BESTThe promise of a good breakfast is often the clinching factor when deciding where to book for a short break - and quite right too, as going the extra mile with breakfast tells you a great deal about a place and the way it is run. It’s something that we at the Guide feel strongly enough about to make it the focus of a new standalone awards initiative, and the ‘Georgina Campbell Irish Breakfast Awards 2017- In Association with Failte Irelandâ€&t ... -

It’s an especially appealing proposition in spring too, as the days are lengthening - perhaps a voucher could be the perfect treat for Motherâ€&t ... -

NEWCOMERS - TEN OF THE BESTIt has been an exhilarating year in Irish food and hospitality, with visitor numbers surging and a host of exciting new openings - sometimes hard to keep track of in fact, in the cities especially.

FOR FOOD TOURISTS - TEN OF THE BESTThere’s a growing feeling that Ireland is now ready to focus on the needs of the ‘food tourist’, as opposed to the visitor who simply enjoys good food as part of the overall experience.

BEST MEALS IN 2014 - 10 OF THE BESTWe enjoyed dozens of great meals in our travels through 2014 (and, alas, had a few disappointments too). This month’s 10 of the Best is just a tiny taste of the best that Ireland currently offers discerning diners. But it’s an interesting collection, reflecting a wide range of experiences that were all about much more than good food - which, however delicious, is nothing without caring service and a genuine desire to please the guest.
