Chapter One in Dublin

Simply amazing. Even though it is one of Irelands top restaurants, the vibe is so relaxed and friendly. The food and wine were to the level you would expect but the staff definitely complete the offering. We'll worth a visit.

Just fabulous 👌 no problem at all. Love this place

I’ve been meaning to visit for years, after being lucky to trying other Michelin-starred restaurants in the city and further afield, I finally made it here! I wasn’t sure what to expect —> turned out to be an experience of a lifetime! Mind blowing ! Everything was absolutely immaculate. I loved the minimalist elegant design, reminded me of high end minimalist design restaurants in Tokyo so that u can focus fully on the food ! The service was spectacular—professional yet relaxed (super important as some of these places feel a bit uptight) with loads of craic and banter between courses that made the whole evening feel special. The 4 course taster was so good we found ourselves giggling between courses as in how did u think of this one ? And then the next and then the next it was a sensory experience on another level. Every dish was beautifully presented and packed with flavour. Wine list was strong with well priced options for a two star ! A truly memorable dining experience a bucket list on the Irish culinary circuit without a doubt ! Keep it up Chapter One & keep punching hard ! Proud to have this culinary Irish establishment in our city !

Superb! Absolutely flawless, food is really tasty and great presented. Service was a top notch, a lots of passion delivered from the start to finish. Very recommended, and definitely will back!

We were a team of five and received a warm welcome and attentive, yet unobtrusive, service. The food, including the amuse-bouche and the delicious treats at the end, was outstanding. We spent an evening of culinary delights.

Exceptional. Lunch menu may seems steep but it isnt. The food was amazing. The staff are fantastic. Loved it. Really really good.

Lovely atmosphere and amazing service but unfortunately the taste did not impress. Even though plates looked well the food did not blend well. Had a nice negroni and the Guinness bread was unique.

staff were unbelievably lovely and made us feel very comfortable, food was divine - delicious little works of art! definitely did not go hungry but also didn't feel disgustingly full after. such a great combination of flavours all around and from the chef's table the kitchen staff actually looked like they were having a nice time which is a good sign for a restaurant.

We visited Chapter One with high expectations and were unfortunately massively disappointed. For a bill of €800 for two people (including wine pairings for €130 per person), the service was far from what one would expect in the 2-star category. The criticisms in detail: • Wine pairing: The pours were simply inadequate. The glasses were sometimes practically empty, which is unacceptable at a price of €130 per person for the wine pairings. Technically, the wines were well-chosen (especially the pairing with dessert), but the pricing seemed greedy and inhospitable. • Creativity & Menu Development: There was a lack of culinary inspiration. Caviar was used in almost every course – a clumsy attempt to justify the high menu price with expensive ingredients instead of shining through creative depth. • Product Quality: The wild strawberries in the dessert were an absolute no-go; they were not visually perfect. In a restaurant of this caliber, no product should leave the pass showing any blemishes or that isn't perfectly ripe. Conclusion: A beautiful restaurant, very friendly service, technically very good, but lacking soul and generosity. In direct comparison to the D'Olier Street Restaurant, where we experienced a better menu and significantly more balanced wine pairings, Chapter One falls short across the board. We won't be returning and cannot recommend it at this price.

We decided last minute to visit Ireland. Therefore, we missed the booking windows. As luck would have it, we were able to secure the Chefs Table on the day of. So don’t be discouraged if you don’t have a reservation. Check reservations in the morning or take a chance and walk in early or at the end of the night. Overall, as expected an excellent meal and even better staff! The cocktails are a must, best I’ve had during my trip. We had a great time. I would highly recommend.
