Clare Business Excellence Awards 2025
Best Place to Eat
Sponsored by A.I.B.
Entry Criteria
Best Place to Eat has two sub-categories to reflect the breadth of eating eating experiences. They are:
- 1) Best Place to Eat – Best Restaurant in Clare
- 2) Best Place to Eat – Best Bistro or Café in Clare
Both of these awards are judged by mystery diners who will visit each business to sample the unique customer experience and savour the quality of the food served.
Each entrant to this category will be judged across all aspects of services and facilities, with a particular emphasis on the food offering.
The mystery diner will give attention to:
- The initial impact of the business/ ambience and character
- How staff interact with customers and enhance the customer experience
- An uncompromising commitment to flavour and quality of food
- Interesting and innovative menu choices
- Excellent and appropriate food service
The judges’ decision will be final and no correspondence will be entered into before or after judging.
Once a company is announced as finalist, it cannot withdraw from the competition.
