House is one of the restaurants at the Cliff House Hotel in Ardmore, County Waterford, Ireland.[1] It is a fine dining restaurant that was awarded a Michelin star for each year in the period 2010 to present.[2][3][4][5] Bridgestone Guides also lists the hotel as one of the 100 Best Places To Eat.[6] Journalist Pol O Conghaile listed the hotel and restaurant on his The travel hot list 2010 in the Irish Independent.[7][8]

The original Cliff House Hotel was established around 1932. In 2008, it was almost completely rebuilt. The restaurant was created during this rebuilding.[9]

The first head chef of The House to earn a Michelin star was another Dutchman, Martijn Kajuiter.[10][11] Kajuiter left the role in 2020.[12]

Chef Ian Doyle successfully maintained the Michelin star status of House for 2021 & 2022.[13][14] Doyle left in 2022 and was succeeded by Tony Parkin.[15]
