If visting South Tipperary - dinner at Lily Mai's Restaurant in Thomastown (between Cashel and Tipperary Town) is a must! Open Thursday, Friday and Saturday night (booking is essential)- Lily Mai's has won all the awards since it opened 3-years ago. Fine dining at its best! 062.72847 for reservations. As one of Tipperarys main tourist towns, Cashel has a number of eating possibilities - however the pre-eminent one remains Chez Hans, now in it's second generation, serving a 'best of irish menu' in a converted Church. They also provide a cheaper bistro option during the day.
