Looking for the best places to eat and best restaurants in Wicklow?
Earlier this week, the Leinster regional round of the Irish Restaurant Awards were held and here’s who came out on top in Wicklow.
Having cleaned up at the Irish Curry Awards last year, I’m not surprised to see Pink Salt pick up the honours for best restaurant. I’ve yet to try it but any time it comes up in conversation the reports are glowing.
Real bread is also to the fore as Firehouse took the title of Best Café in Wicklow.
If you think somewhere has been overlooked for the best restaurant in Wicklow, leave a suggestion in the comments below.
This year’s grand final (announcing Leinster and All Ireland winners) will be held in Dublin in May.
