An incredible achievement – recognised among the best in the world
Culinary Director Richie Wilson owns and operates both luxury restaurants.
Speaking to RTÉ News about the win, he acknowledged how difficult the past two years have been for the hospitality industry.
He said, “This has been the toughest year we, and our industry as a whole, have ever had. The pandemic has no doubt affected us all but, it has brought out something special too.
“Our teams returned with renewed excitement, hunger to get back to their creative best.”
He continued, “With so much more now needed from our teams to ensure our guests feel safe and comfortable, it is simply amazing to receive such a high honour directly from our customers.
“It’s an enormous pat on the back, which I can truthfully say after this year, is massively appreciated. We are once again reminded of how amazing FIRE & SOLE teams are.”
