A quote from The Irish Restaurant Awards;
“ 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 available from 12 noon Wednesday 8th June 2022 until 22nd 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.”
2022! The first time The Pier House will have a chance to win an award at RAI! Vote Best Newcomer!
Just as the pandemic stopped the Irish restaurant awards it stopped us too. The Pier House Restaurant was set up in February of 2020, just 2 weeks before the first lockdown. It is only now in 2022 that we have been able to get to do what we initially set out to and bring modern seafood dishes to the West Pier. This year now we have our first chance and being nominated and need your help to vote for us!
We are a Quayside restaurant in Howth Village using Fresh Seafood; Vote Best Seafood Experience!
The team at the Pier House is dedicated to creating seasonal menus. With our location, right on the quayside in Howth village, our main aim is to provide the freshest local seafood, simply prepared allowing you to taste the true flavour of the sea. Our menus change throughout the year as we move through autumn, winter, spring and summer. Our kitchen team includes our head Chef David Walsh, sous chef Colin Dunne, Eduardo Matheus, and Nathan Candido. Our kitchen team has over 50 years combined knowledge and has worked in fine dining in Paris, London, and Ireland.
About The Irish Restaurant Awards
Judging Process – County Winner Selection
This year there are two stages to the Irish Restaurant Awards Judging
Stage 1: Choosing county/provincial winners
Once the online nominations (worth 20%) are closed, they are independently audited by BDO and then passed on to our regional judging panels. The nominees are reviewed by the judges (worth 80%).
The county and provincial winners are then announced at the Regional Awards in August and September. Dublin nominees are shortlisted at this stage and will be announced separately.
Stage 2: National Academy Judging
The final stage sees selected judges from the regional panels join together to form the National Academy. They will review each finalist, and they will also review the National Category nominees and decide the overall winners.
The overall winners in all categories will then be announced at the highly anticipated Irish Restaurant Awards Final in September 2022.
Regional Awards Events & All Ireland Awards Gala
County winners will be announced at our regional events throughout the month of August and early September. Full Event details will be sent to all nominees via post/ email following the close of nominations and will also be listed on our website with ticketing information.
Regional and All Ireland Winners are then revealed at the All Ireland Awards Gala Dinner on Monday, 19th September 2022 in the Convention Centre Dublin. Full Ticket and Event information will be released in September following Regional Events.
