After a very tough year for the sector – the eateries in Cork city and Cobh have reasons to celebrate

Two much-loved Cork restaurants have made the Tripadvisor Travellers Choice awards for 2021 – with one placing third in the Top Ten Best of the Best for the whole island of Ireland.
Paradiso – the multi-award-winning vegetarian restaurant on Lancaster Quay – was voted third of only ten resturants in the ‘Best of the Best in Fine Dining category for Ireland.
Diners who reviewed Irish restaurants on the worldwide travel site placed Paradiso third behind two Kerry eateries – Mulcahy’s in Kenmare in second and Rozzers Restaurant in Aghadoe by Killarney in first.

And there was also a Trip Advisor Travellers Choice award for Jacob’s Ladder Restaurant at the WatersEdge Hotel in Cobh.
The awards are – as the title suggests – based on a full year of public reviews and only restaurants, hotels and attractions that are consistently in the top 10 percent of all places reviewed in a region are eligible for selection.
TripAdvisor say the awards “celebrate businesses that consistently deliver fantastic experiences to customers around the globe, having earned great traveler reviews on Tripadvisor over the last 12 months.
“As challenging as the past year was, Jacobs Ladder stood out by continuously delighting diners.”
WatersEdge Hotel Manager David Ruttle said it was great news for his hard-working team – who have had only limited opportunities to serve customers since the start of the pandemic.
“We are extremely proud of our tremendous hard-working team to have achieved this award despite the recent challenges faced,” said David.
Congratulations to all the winners of the 2021 Travelers Choice Awards, said Kanika Soni, Chief Commercial Officer at Tripadvisor.
I know the past year has been extremely challenging for tourism businesses. What has impressed me is how businesses adapted to these challenges, implementing new cleanliness measures, adding social distancing guidelines, and utilizing technology to prioritize guest safety.
The Travelers Choice Awards highlight the places that are consistently excellent – delivering quality experiences time and time again even while navigating changing customer expectations and new ways of working. Based on a full year of reviews from customers, this award speaks to the great service and experience you provided guests in the midst of a pandemic.
