Chapter One generating weekly revenues of €51k

The decorated Dublin restaurant co-owned by the ‘Queen’s chef’, Ross Lewis, is enjoying the fruits of the capital’s boom in fine dining, by recording weekly revenues of over €51,000.

Showing that there is good money to be made in tasty stuffed pig’s tails and carpaccios of veal, new figures show Mr Lewis’s Chapter One restaurant marginally increased its revenues to €2.698m in the 12 months to the end of February 2015.

Chapter One on Dublin’s Parnell Square is one of nine Michelin-starred restaurants in Ireland and in a rare detailed insight into the finances of a Michelin-starred restaurant here, the firm’s accounts show that the business broke even last year, recording a modest loss of €595.
