Top Irish chef may hand back Michelin star

The country’s youngest Michelin-starred chef Oliver Dunne has told how he is considering handing back the famous French rating.

While star ratings are sought by many top chefs, the Dubliner said he believed the highly-coveted sign over the door could be intimidating to customers.

His restaurant, Bon Appetit, is one of only eight Irish restaurants to have been awarded the ultimate culinary award for 2013.
