The 2026 Georgina Campbell Irish Food and Hospitality Awards have been announced on 22 September 2026 at a gala lunch at the InterContinental Dublin Hotel honouring 54 leading hotels, restaurants, chefs and producers across Ireland.
The Georgina Campbell’s Guides awards are Ireland’s longest-running independent hospitality accolades decided through anonymous year-round inspections where experts pay their own way. This year founder Georgina Campbell used the platform to warn against the rise of cold digital transactions replacing the warm human connection central to traditional Irish hospitality.
Major honorees include Wade Murphy as Chef of the Year at 1826 Adare, Paul and Marie Flynn of The Tannery as Hospitality Hero and Ómós Guesthouse and Restaurant as Fine Dining Restaurant of the Year.
