What’s the vibe?
With 26 years at his trailblazing Chapter One, Cork-born owner and chef Ross Lewis has earned both notoriety and a well-deserved Michelin star. His passion for provenance and seasonality shine without feeling pretentious or inaccessible. The smart, understated dining room and formal, friendly staff perfectly match the luxurious yet down-to-earth cuisine here. In an added and not uncharacteristic touch, most furniture and artwork are Irish-made.
What are the prices like?
Pricey, to say the least. But worth it for a treat. The tasting dinner menu comes in at €190, and wine pairings will cost you another €105. If you want something a bit more affordable, go for the three-course lunch menu for €85.
Time Out tip
A spot at the Chef's Table may break the bank, but it’s an incredible experience to see the Chapter One team in action.
