No.5 Fenn’s Quay Nominated for 3 Irish Restaurant Awards
Head chef and proprietor
of No. 5 Fenn's Quay, Kate Lawlor, will be on tenterhooks on the night of April
23rd when the winners of the Munster Region of Restaurant Association of
Ireland Awards will be announced in the Imperial Hotel. Kate won’t be on her own
as quite a few local restaurants have been nominated.
Her popular Sheares Street venue has been nominated for three of
the most coveted awards in the Irish restaurant industry. The Awards
recognise achievement and excellence in the Restaurant and Hospitality
Industry, and No. 5 Fenn’s Quay are nominees for Best Restaurant in Cork, Best
Customer Service and Best Chef.
The Best Restaurant category recognizes ‘The very best in a
dining experience, as evidenced by attention-to-detail, a well-structured,
balanced and appropriate menu, exemplary customer service and suitable
atmosphere’.
The Best Customer
Service award goes to the nominee which ‘demonstrably goes above and beyond a
normal level of service’ on a consistent basis, and the Best Chef is chosen
based on the ‘approach, design and execution of dishes’ and their dedication to
‘push culinary boundaries in Ireland’.
Kate: “We are thrilled to have been selected as nominees for
these awards. This is the second year in a row that we have been recognized by
the Irish Restaurant awards, along with our 2012 nomination for Best Wine
Experience. It is proof that our simple philosophy of using only the best
produce from the best local suppliers, and treating it with careful attention
to detail, is really paying off”.
Nominations for the Awards are made by readers of the Sunday
Independent LIFE Magazine and members of the Restaurants Association of
Ireland. The nomination & awards selection process is also
independently audited by KPMG to ensure that best practices & standards
have been adhered to throughout the process. It is a detailed and
thorough process whereby nominated Restaurants face rigorous scrutiny from the
Consumer, Regional Judges, a Mystery Guest Visitor and finally the National Awards
Academy. The All Ireland Awards are on Monday 10th June 2013 in the
Burlington Hotel Dublin.
