THIRTY-FOUR PUBS on the island of Ireland have been included in the 2015 Michelin Eating Out In Pubs Guide.

In the Republic of Ireland, all of the twenty-seven pubs listed retain their Michelin status with no change since last year. In Northern Ireland, amongst the seven pubs listed is one new entry from Co. Antrim.

In overall terms, counties Cork and Down share the honours with six listings each followed by Clare, with four listings, and Mayo with three. Galway, Kerry and Kildare each received two listings with Dublin, Leitrim, Louth, Sligo, Tipperary, Westmeath, Wexford, Antrim and Wicklow each having one listing.

Deasy’s in Clonakilty, Toddies at The Bulman in Kinsale and the Wild Honey Inn in Lisdoonvarna each received an Inspector’s Favourite commendation, described in the Guide as ‘establishments worthy of additional consideration’.

This year’s guide recommends some 590 pubs spread across England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland of which 70 are new entries and were selected, “first and foremost, for the quality of their food”.
