Awards / Restaurant Reviews

We are mentioned in 40 International Guides and Food Directories, including the Egon Ronay Good Food Guide.

Of the many awards we have received over the years, we were named Egony Ronan Pub of the Year in 1997. Other Egon Ronay awards received: Best Traditional Irish Bread 1995, Star for Bar Food 1995/1996/1997.

During 2003 Mary Ann's Bar & Restaurant was listed in the Guardian's Top Eatery in Ireland -- one of only twelve in Ireland. We were the subject of a four page spread in the celebrity OK magazine and also featured in the Food and Wine magazine. The bar and restaurant have been featured in RTE TV programmes including "Out of the Blue" and on many occasions have been highlighted on BBC and ITV in connection with tourism and food.
