At Lovin, we back backing yourself, especially in the hospitality industry.
Whether it's serving up a perfectly silky flat white or providing next-level service, Ireland's cafe, pub and restaurant owners are world-class. We would know - we've frequented quite a few in our time.
For years now, we've been ranting and raving about some of our favourite spots for a coffee, a pint, a meal, and now it's time Ireland's café, bar and restaurant owners start doing the same.
Square Ireland are currently on the hunt for Ireland's best bar, café and restaurant, and they're calling on business-owners to back themselves with a nomination. The company, which powers businesses through their seamless technology, have long been driving Ireland's hospitality scene, and Square's Best of Ireland campaign aims to celebrate the top movers and shakers.

Square are on the hunt for the most innovative and inspiring food and beverage businesses throughout Ireland, and there are three categories for entry - Best Café, Best Restaurant and Best Bar. They're looking for businesses that go the extra mile for their customers, businesses that are not afraid to mix things up every once in a while, businesses that have become cornerstones of their community.
In addition to taking home the Best of Ireland title, the winners will also receive a cash prize of €1,000 and free promotional content from Sarah Hanrahan - a food blogger you might know better as @i_come_undone.
Sarah will pop into the winners' establishments with a camera in hand and a singular mission - to create gorgeous content for your business. With well over 200,000 combined followers on Instagram and TikTok, this is a chance for your business to shine, front and centre on the page of one of Ireland's most exciting creators.
Reckon your bar, café or restaurants has the goods to be crowned the Best in Ireland? Get your entry in today via this link and let Square know what sets your business apart.
You have until 31st July to get your entry in, so nominate yourself today.
