Best of lists don’t happen overnight. They take months of planning, research, collaboration and, of course, eating out. Over the last 12 months, the food team at the Irish Examiner has been busily working on our inaugural 100 Best Places to Eat list. Created in the fashion of Ireland’s 100 Best Places to Stay, which we launched in November, we have reviewed and eaten in every place that we recommend. With 100 entries, we’ve only ranked our Top 20, just as we did with our hotels.
