We are delighted to announce that the Irish Restaurant Awards is back and will launch on Wednesday 8th June 2022. This is the 13th year of the Awards, which ceased midway in early 2020 due to the pandemic, and we look forward to celebrating the best of the Hospitality Sector now that it has reopened.

As with previous years the Irish Restaurant Awards process begins with an online public vote hosted via the Irish Times (link made available on Wednesday 8th June 2022), then a judging process of National Experts, followed by Regional Events in the four provinces at which County Winners will be announced, then a Dublin Shortlist and then the All Ireland Final at which the Regional and National Winners will be announced.
