"The celebrated chef Mickael Viljanen took over Chapter One as chef/patron in 2021, and now many consider the restaurant to be the best in Ireland. The cooking is precise and detailed, with top-quality produce given the classic French treatment. There is of course a tasting menu, but you can dine for a reasonable sum if you opt for the excellent lunch; unlike many daytime menus at top-end restaurants, this one actually does reflect the kitchen’s abilities. Bookings open on the first of each month, and you need to be lightning quick to snag one. Otherwise, ask to be added to the cancellations list." - Corinna Hardgrave
