Restaurant review: Marco Pierre White’s Bar and Grill, Dublin 2

Marco Pierre White’s Bar and Grill offers good food without glaring brilliance, is Tony Clayton-Lea’s summary.

What’s in a name? If yours is a byword for fame based on culinary skill and a reputation as a successful restaurateur, then there’s a lot riding on having your name emblazoned over the restaurant door.

And in this case too, there is history to contend with — Marco Pierre White was the youngest British chef to win three Michelin stars — he is viewed as a ‘celebrity’ chef, he’s a television ‘personality’, and was once known as the enfant terrible of the UK restaurant community.
