Kevin Thornton's restaurant to close after loss of Michelin star

Chef Kevin Thornton has said losing his Michelin star left “a void” as he confirmed his Dublin restaurant is to close after more than two decades in business.

Thorntons on St Stephen’s Green will close on October 29 after more than 25 years.

However, the chef intends to focus on cooking masterclasses and providing dining services to high-end clients.
