Restaurants retain their star quality

THERE are no new Michelins stars being awarded to Irish restaurants this year — but no Irish restaurants lost their stars either.

Ross Lewis’ Chapter One remains the only Irish restaurant with two Michelin stars, while the other Dublin city centre eateries, Thornton’s at the Fitzwilliam Hotel and L’Ecrivain retain their one star, as does Malahide’s Bon Appetit

The only restaurant outside of Dublin to have a Michelin star, House at the Cliff House Hotel, also retains its one-star billing.
