'When you love what you do, it's easy' - Forest Avenue and The Pullman earn first Michelin Stars but no three-star for Ireland
"Angelo Vagiotis's The Pullmanwas the first restaurant awarded a first-time Michelin Star. It is set in two converted Orient Express train carriages nearly 100 years old on the Glenlo Abbey Estate and is described by the Michelin Guide as producing "exquisite cooking" while "showcasing the best Irish produce in beautifully balanced dishes like wild turbot with Oscietra caviar and a champagne and vanilla sauce"."
"Rónán O'Halloran, general manager at The Pullman, expressed his gratitude on behalf of the restaurant for recognition of their work after reopening less than a year ago. "We are incredibly proud to be recognised in this prestigious guide, so soon after reopening The Pullman after its loving restoration following a major investment commitment by our owners. "It certainly is a very proud moment for both the front and back of house teams who have worked incredibly hard to achieve our ambitious goal.""
The Michelin Guide launch for Great Britain and Ireland took place at the Convention Centre, marking the first time the event was held in Ireland since 1974. Major figures in British and Irish gastronomy attended as Michelin Stars, Green Stars and Bib Gourmands were awarded. No establishment attained a three‑star rating in Ireland this year. Angelo Vagiotis's The Pullman received a first-time Michelin Star and is housed in two nearly 100-year-old converted Orient Express carriages on the Glenlo Abbey Estate, praised for exquisite cooking and dishes such as wild turbot with Oscietra caviar and a champagne and vanilla sauce. Rónán O'Halloran expressed pride after reopening, and the Guide described the restaurant's setting as absolute splendour. Forest Avenue's John Wyer appeared visibly emotional on stage.
