A graduate of Dundalk Institute of Technology has been awarded a Michelin star.
Stefan McEnteer - Head Chef at The Bishop's Buttery in the five-star luxury Cashel Palace Hotel in Co Tipperary - is a former Culinary Arts student at the college.
A spokesperson for DkIT congratulated the talented chef on X (formerly Twitter), stating: "Well done Stefan on a fantastic achievement!"
McEnteer previously honed his skills under the mentorship of renowned Irish chefs Neven Maguire and Derry Clarke.
He celebrated the win alongside Director of Culinary, Stephen Hayes, following the Michelin Guide UK ceremony in Manchester on February 5.
The Bishop's Buttery joins 24 other restaurants across Ireland and the UK which received a star on the night.
Staff at Cashel Palace warmly welcomed the duo home, with a video of the homecoming amassing almost 50,000 views on X:
