The Dubliner magazine launched its latest edition of the hugely popular Top 100 Restaurants in the luxury surroundings of the Westin Hotel ballroom recently. Always a well attended event the guests are a mix of media, social, foodie and everything else ... and all there to find out which favourite eateries make the list.
There are many new entries in the guide this year, and regrettably a number of exits too. The year has seen a number of restaurants close due to the recession (sadly Lock’s is the latest casualty) and for this reason the publishers decided to focus the Top 100 on good food and value.
The award for the Best restaurant went to new kid on the block Green 19. The laid back yet trendy place on Camden Street has been a huge hit since it opened and is a most deserving winner as voted by the readers of The Dubliner.
Publisher Michael O’Doherty, who was hosting his fist such event since taking over the magazine, welcomed guests such as critic Tom Doorley, economist Claire McAndrew, Nick Munier of Pichet, Nadine Wai – O’Flynn (who was celebrating her birthday), TV chef Andrew Rudd, Gail Kaneswaren and Peaches Kemp.
