The 11th Annual Restaurant Awards Finale was held this week on May 13th in the Burlington Hotel in Dublin. From humble beginnings back in 2009 which saw 70 restaurateurs gather for the inaugural awards to 2019 which saw over 1,000 guests gather to find out who really is the best of the best for food in Ireland!

We are delighted to announce that not only did No.9 Barronstrand St. win ‘Best Kids Size Me’ award in Waterford, but on Monday, No.9 Barronstrand Street won the award for ‘Best Kids Size Me’ in Munster! This is amazing recognition for their outstanding baby and children’s menu & also for offering delicious kids size portions of their popular adult meals, yum!

No.9 Barronstrand St. holds a special place in our hearts as this is where Pip & Pear was born!! Irene, her husband Bill and sister in law, Lisa (in picture) own No.9 and this is where Irene first trialed her wholesome and delicious recipes over four years ago. Irene felt there was a demand for natural, tasty food for babies and toddlers that was just like homemade and so she decided to create a dedicated baby food menu for the restaurant. Parents soon began to travel from all over the South East to stock up on the “amazing homemade food for babies”. 

You can now find our Pip & Pear dishes on the amazing Baby & Children’s menu and we couldn’t be more proud!
