It was a whopper night for celebrating Dublin hospitality.

Michelin star restaurant Chapter One has not only taken the award for the best restaurant in Dublin, but the best restaurant in all of Ireland too at the Irish Restaurant Awards 2022. With two Michelin stars, it’s no wonder they took the top spot. The Michelin website describes Chapter One as such:

“Cooking focuses on prime luxury ingredients; Irish where possible, but sourced from further afield when needed to ensure the best quality. Classical French techniques combine with a subtle modernity, as well as plenty of creativity and personality, and the sophisticated, beautifully presented dishes are perfectly balanced, with striking natural flavours. The superb service team ensure everyone is well looked after and an Irish coffee makes for a memorable finish.”

While winning Best Restaurant in Ireland should come as no surprise to anyone who has paid them a visit, this is still a huge deal for Chapter One – huge congratulations to the whole team and Chef Mickael Viljanen on such an achievement.
