One of our favourite TV shows is on the way back to TV3, and they're looking for new participants. 

This year The Restaurant has a new home; Marco Pierre White’s Courtyard Bar & Grill in Donnybrook.

If, like us, you've salivated while watching Irish celebs whip up a feast in the kitchen for some lucky diners and critics, you can now tuck in yourself.

Applications are now open for diners on the forthcoming series of the hugely popular show. If you are one of the lucky applicants you will enjoy a complimentary meal and you never know who your celebrity chef will be. (Remember last season when Andrew Trimble cooked for diners? Sigh.)

Following the very sad passing of resident critic Paolo Tullio, world famous chef Marco Pierre White will be joining the critics table, alongside fellow resident critic Tom Doorley and a guest critic each week. Maitre'D John Healy returns with well-known faces Stephen McAllister, Gary O’Hanlon and Louise Lennox all taking their place in the kitchen.
