Meet The Food Awards Ireland 2016 Winners

The inaugural Food Awards Ireland (not to be confused with the Irish Food Awards) took place earlier this week at the Crown Plaza Hotel at Dublin Airport and featured a real crosssection of the Irish food industry. An initiative by Creative Oceanic, the awards also run in Scotland, England (general), London (specific), Wales and Northern Ireland.

Flying the flag for Real Bread Ireland, Declan Ryan’s Arbutus Bread was named Wholesaler Bakery Of The Year, one of my favourite Dublin eats in Salamanca was named Best Mediterranean Establishment while Govinda’s in Dublin was named Best Vegetarian Establishment.
