michelin guideSo, it was the day when thousands of Chef’s across Europe hovered over their computers waiting for Michelin to announce this years awards on their website.

So who were the winners in Ireland and were there any losers? Well, Chapter One has finally got the recognition many believe was long overdue for the Dublin eatery scooping it’s first Michelin Star.

L’Ecrivain has kept it’s star, Restaurant Patrick Guilbaud retains both stars, while Thorntons at the Fitzwilliam Hotel also keeps its star.

While no restaurant in Ireland actually lost it’s star rating this year, there were no new additions outside of the Capital either. Are there restaurants outside Dublin that deserve to be recognised? Let us know with your comments!
