The expectation that Chapter One by Mickael Viljanen would land three Michelin stars was widely touted, not just in Ireland but overseas, with a number of UK ...
But in the absence of a handbook or a clear understanding of how the Michelin inspectors work, there is an uncomfortable feeling that we should be celebrating more. He was passed over for several years before landing his first Michelin star for The Greenhouse in 2016, and that was after he dropped a few extraneous elements from his menu. If one amuse bouche is not up to standard, there will be no green light for a coveted star. There was disappointment in Galway too, as Lignum, a restaurant with high expectations of a Michelin star, ultimately received no award. [ The assessors have visited regularly, he said, to gauge the way the cuisine at Chapter One is evolving and maturing.
The Michelin Guide to Great Britain and Ireland announced today which restaurants earned, kept, or lost their prestigious star ratings. In 2023, the list ...
That award went to Makis Kazakis, of the restaurant and bar Park Chinois in London. The restaurants in Michelin’s highest tier include Sketch—yes, [that place](https://www.businessinsider.com/these-egg-shaped-toilet-pods-are-stalls-in-a-london-bathroom-2016-6) with the egg-shaped bathroom stalls—and Restaurant Gordon Ramsay. While the list encompasses England, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland, London is reliably dominant, accounting for 74 restaurants in 2023’s guide—London is home to the most Michelin-starred restaurants in the United Kingdom. In 2023, the list added no new restaurants to its three-star ranks, keeping the total number of three-starred restaurants in Great Britain and Ireland at just eight. Five restaurants snagged two stars, including Dede at the Custom House, promoted from its previous one-star ranking. Meanwhile, 20 restaurants received their first star, bringing the guide’s net total to 188 starred restaurants, and three new restaurants received a second star.
Two Irish restaurants have been added to the Michelin Guide, securing both a one Michelin star and a two Michelin star rating for the country.
Please review their details and accept them to load the content. A shorter lunch menu is available for €75, while the full lunch tasting menu is €100. Ireland secured a two Michelin star accreditation, which was given to dede, the celebrated Turkish restaurant in Baltimore's Custom House, which was promoted from one star.
Ahmet Dede and Vincent Crepel saw their restaurants in the Rebel County earn a two-star and a one-star nod from the Michelin Guide.
He added Crepel’s dishes “could be from a fine dining menu anywhere in the world — and capturing a sense of place is the ultimate grace note of the very finest cooking. Apart from the welcome, there's always somebody there to say goodbye when they’re going at the end of the night.” Michael Deane of Eipic in Belfast earned the Mentor Chef Award. I have been a devotee of the Michelin Guide since the very start of my career so to be awarded one star as chef patron is simply amazing, an achievement I have long hoped for.” Overall, it is another level again; might we now be entering two-star territory at Dede at the Custom House?” The restaurant was among three institutions to be awarded two stars this year.
The guide conveys its restaurant reviews through short summaries and a system of symbol, with the most well-known and revered globally being the Michelin stars.

Staff at Dede in Baltimore and Terre at the Castlemartyr Resort will certainly be celebrating with both establishments being honoured for their fine cuisine.
The chef gave a shout-out to the village of Baltimore before finishing his speech with a resounding: "this is for Ireland and for Turkey!" The award ceremony was held tonight in Northhampton with Chef Ahmet in attendance to accept the award. I have been a devotee of the Michelin Guide since the very start of my career so to be awarded one star as Chef Patron is simply amazing, an achievement I have long hoped for.” The 38-seater restaurant was opened by Chef Patron, Vincent Crepel back in September where he endeavoured to combine classic French dining with strong Asian influences. "The whole brigade of nine in the kitchen are all from Turkey, and Ahmet’s personality imbues every creative yet authentic dish. Chef Ahmed Dede settled in West Cork 7 years ago with dreams of running his own restaurant.
A star is born: Ben McCormack reveals the London restaurants shining in the Michelin spotlight.
Of the four new Green Stars announced this year, only one comes from London: Bib Gourmands are defined as “restaurants which offer good quality, good value cooking”. Taku This Mayfair chef’s counter made headlines in a year of cost-of-living crisis serving a £280 omakase menu. Luca An Italian spin-off from two Michelin-starred The Clove Club, Luca excels with handmade pasta made onsite. [Michelin star](/topic/michelin-star) is “an important milestone,” Stretton told an audience of [chefs](/topic/chefs) eager to know just how many stars they had clocked up. At his first self-titled restaurant, the chef proposes two tasting menus — one merely luxurious (£155), the other off-the-scale indulgent (£195) — touting the likes of kaluga caviar with a fine de claire oyster, served to 34 diners cocooned in sybaritic luxury. The new-look restaurant has been loosened-up according to the strictures of fine dining — more relaxed, but still formal — while the cooking remains as technically accomplished as ever, with luxury ingredients very much in evidence to justify the steep prices. Alex Dilling at Hotel Café Royal Dilling was the executive chef of two-Michelin-starred The Greenhouse in Mayfair, a high-profile casualty of the pandemic. Of the 23 new stars, only six are in the capital: four new one stars, two new stars and, as in the rest of Great Britain and Ireland, no new three stars. One person unable to make the journey was the Michelin Guide’s international director, Gwendal Poullennec, who appeared on a live video from Paris. It is easy to be cynical about an awards ceremony with its roots in encouraging car travel — perhaps the least appropriate theme for eco-obsessed 2023, but one nonetheless hammered home by the constant references to journeys. It didn’t feel quite like the victory lap for the first physical star presentation since before the pandemic, a fact alluded to when host Amanda Stretton — a champion racing driver herself — beckoned any standing guests to the empty chairs by the stage, like a train conductor announcing available seats in a quiet carriage.
The Capital was recognised at the influential annual awards with two new stars being awarded to the city and two new restaurants earning the revered ...

There is only one new addition to Ireland's list of one Michelin starred restaurants: Terre, which is the main restaurant at the Castlemartyr Resort in Co Cork. Only one restaurant in Ireland has achieved a Michelin Green Star, which recognises restaurants which they feel are leading the way in sustainable gastronomy. "While the restaurant has evolved and the food scape in Galway has unfolded, we have been consistent in providing the very best experience for our diners while remembering what the core of Aniar is, that is, to showcase the terroir of the west of Ireland." Another new addition was Terre, the restaurant at Castlemartyr Resort in Co Cork, which has received its first Michelin star. There was great news for Cork this year and that was that dede, which is located in Baltimore, Co Cork, was upgraded to two stars from its original rating of one. Some were hopeful that Ireland would receive its first-ever three Michelin star rating as the guide announced its 2023 restaurant guide in Ireland and Great Britain, but it was not to be this year.

Cooking has a refined, sophisticated style, with a great balance of tastes and textures. The Michelin Guide says: “The diningroom of the impressive 1830s Adare Manor exhibits all the comfort and grandeur you would expect – and the great Irish hospitality makes you feel like the most important person in the room. His experience is clear to see in the dishes on the 7 course menu; they may not be showy but they do deliver plenty of depth, with well-judged flavours and contrasts in texture being the hallmarks of his food. The Michelin Guide says: “The first challenge for a chef working here is for their food to be good enough to compete with the striking panorama viewed through the floor-to-ceiling windows of this restaurant set into a cliff. It’s a small place, seating just 18, with the bar counter at the front hinting at its past, and shelves laden with wine, mead and all manner of jars, inside which produce which is marinating, curing or fermenting. The skilfully prepared, exacting dishes take on a modern style and often exhibit a playful, innovative element, while at the same time showing depth in their flavours and textures.” Start with an aperitif while you enjoy the delicate snacks – and look forward to dessert, which is always a highlight.” The striking and sophisticated dishes showcase the best of the local larder alongside more international flavours which highlight the chef’s time and travels in Asia; the sauces are superlative. The restaurant is hidden within a Georgian town house, and oozes sumptuousness and sophistication thanks to features such as a gilt barrel ceiling and handcrafted marquetry. The multi-course tasting menu showcases Liath favourites which have been continually reworked and perfected across the years. The Michelin Guide says: “Set beneath the Writers Museum, Mickael Viljanen’s basement restaurant is a stylish, elegant spot decorated with eye-catching art. The Michelin Guide says: “Start with a cocktail in the lounge overlooking the garden, then head past hanging meats and jars of preserved produce to a wonderfully intimate diningroom with just a handful of tables.
