Why you move to a bigger location of course !! ...and exactly what Chef Noel Keane ( Tralee Advertisers celebrity chef !) and his partners Kevin O Connor and Chef Paul Cotter are doing with their Award laden Croí restaurant located in the Square and the Tess Quarter in Tralee.. Where are they moving, you ask ? To Princess Street beside the Brandon Hotel (where previous restaurants such as Duffins/Restaurant Unos and more recently Rustique have traded) “ Its a great location , spread out over 2 floors “ says Noel and work has already begun for a dramatic transformation which will be unveiled in early April . Croí will close after Mothers Day but fear not as these guys are not relinquishing this fantastic location as they plan to open a new restaurant here called Grá Bistro with Chef Kevin Cotter remaining at the helm. “The food concept of Grá is a more family orientated restaurant serving up Burgers, Fajitas , Italian pasta at great prices “ says Kevin. Croí will continue to grow in its new location which will offer a
