About Chapter One
The atmospheric dining room in Mickael Viljanen's Chapter One restaurant prepares diners for an exceptional experience.
Having already built his reputation with various industry accolades including taking Dublin's 'The Greenhouse' to one and then two Michelin stars, Mickael partnered with Chapter One patron Ross Lewis (2021 recipient of the inaugural Michelin Mentor Chef Award for Great Britain and Ireland) to further build on the restaurant's already stellar reputation.
Diners can enjoy a three-course lunch menu, four-course dinner menu or a tasting menu. In addition to the elegant main dining room, there is the option of booking the dramatic chef's table or of enjoying a private dining experience in one of two rooms; The Midleton Room (home to the first full collection of Midleton Rare in the world) or The Demi Salle – an intimate dining space created in a former cellar space.
From Chapter One's Website:
'Bringing together Mickael Viljanen’s energy and passion with Ross Lewis’s experience and mentoring expertise, the new era at Chapter One aims to create one of the most unique dining experiences in Ireland.
The merging of cultures, alliances, suppliers and teams will bring the restaurant to the next level, with a strong focus on excellence in a clean, modern style.
Chapter One’s celebrated welcome awaits all guests, who can immerse themselves in a luxurious dining room for an exceptional dining experience.'
'The interior of the restaurant showcases a carefully
curated selection of Irish art, design and craft designed to ensure that guests’ experience here is a multi-sensory one that extends beyond the food.
There are functional pieces, including Joe Hogan’s basketry and the bar trolley by DesignGoat, that serve to enhance the dining experience. Others, such as Emmet Kane’s gilded tabletop pieces, are purely decorative. Like the interior itself, which is the work of Irish Interior Architect Maria MacVeigh, the overall aesthetic of refined, elemental luxury very much complements both Mickael’s food and Ross’s long tradition of celebrating Irish natural materials and craftsmanship.'
