Eight Dublin restaurants have been added to the prestigious Michelin Guide as the publication updates its list of recommended places to eat.
Among the restaurants added to the list was Library Street, which the Michelin Guide particularly praised for its "electric" atmosphere and "laughter all around".
They said of the restaurant: "Sit at counter beneath striking dried flower artwork or at one of the lovingly restored, 100-year-old ash tables.

"Menus follow a sharing principle, with bold, original dishes arriving as they’re ready – and there are plenty of local, seasonal gems to be found, be it beetroot from the McNally Family Farm, oyster from Dooncastle or langoustine from Porcupine Bank."
Library Street opened at Setanta Place in Dublin 2 towards the end of 2021 and has been receiving rave reviews ever since.
The stylish eatery specialises in seasonal Irish sharing plates and great wine.
A number of other Dublin restaurants were added to the Michelin Guide. They are Big Fan, Chapter One by Mickael Viljanen (which was recently awarded two Michelin Stars), Clanbrassil House, Host, Mae, Mister S and Osteria Lucio.
"Every one of these restaurants has undergone a rigorous assessment process, where only the best make it through," the food and drink publication says.
Michelin Stars were awarded to restaurants all over Ireland and the UK last month, with two Dublin restaurants receiving an impressive two Michelin Stars; Chapter One and Liath.
Meanwhile Patrick Guilbaud at Merrion Square retained its two stars.
Awarded one star this year was Glover's Alley by Andy McFadden at St Stephen's Green, recognised for its "creative dishes characterised by intense flavours and textures".
Bastible at Leonard's Corner, South Circular Road was also awarded one Michelin Star.
