Chef to recreate menu that served up first Michelin star

THE restaurateur behind Ireland’s first Michelin star restaurant is turning back the clock for one night only to recreate his famous menu.

Gourmands are set to flock to his Cork city restaurant, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, to sample some of the culinary triumphs which made Michael Ryan’s former Arbutus Lodge famous for over two decades.

Mr Ryan, who now co-owns Isaacs restaurant on MacCurtain Street, will host his nostalgic “Arbutus Night” in Isaacs on Monday, December 12.
