"Chef Mickael Viljanen has been the talent behind the stoves of one of Dublin’s best restaurants since 2021, and the culinary creativity he brought with him was rewarded with two Michelin stars the following year. Born in Sweden, raised in Finland, and a long-time resident of Ireland, Viljanen combines his Nordic sensibilities with sublime skills and decadent ingredients such as foie gras and hand-dived scallops at Chapter One. His inventive renderings of Irish produce could include dishes such as roasted hare with fermented Kampot pepper, beetroot, blackberry, and crème de cassis. The three-course lunch is a more affordable way to experience one of Ireland’s most exciting dining rooms—be sure to save space for the dedicated Irish coffee trolley." - Aoife O'Riordain
