DINGLE HAS CLAIMED the title of Ireland’s top foodie town at the Irish Restaurant Awards in Dublin last night.
The Kerry town scooped the inaugural award, beating off competition from Cork and Galway cities, Howth, Kinsale, Kilkenny city, Lisdoonvarna, Loop Head, Sligo and Westport & Clew Bay.

Etto wine bar on Merrion Row in Dublin was awarded best casual dining, with Dax Restaurant claiming the title for best restaurant in the capital.
