Congratulations to Ireland’s five two star and 16 one star restaurants in the 2024 Michelin Guide.
Terre in Castlemartyr has become the fifth of Ireland’s five two-star restaurants, while three further businesses were awarded their first Michelin Star.
The Bishop’s Buttery in Cashel, Homestead Cottage in Doolin and D’Olier Street at D’Olier Chambers in Dublin all received accolades at the awards in Manchester.
Terre in Cork’s Castlemartyr Resort has been awarded a second Michelin Star, having been given its first in 2023, with the Michelin Guide commending chef Vincent Crepel for his “powerful and sophisticated cooking”.
Speaking after the announcement, Mr Crepel said it had been a “lifelong dream” to win a second star.
“Being awarded the second Michelin star is wonderful elevation to receive from the inspectors. I am so proud of the team and what we have achieved.
“We have had a fantastic year and are looking forward to welcoming guests again in 2024. We aim to make a visit to Terre accessible to diners and we are fortunate to work with great local and international suppliers who help inspire and shape our menus. Receiving the second star is a tribute to the creativity and standards we aim to reach and maintain.”
