So... where to begin.
I visited Chapter One in August with a friend. I was prepared to blow my budget, I just knew it was gonna be pricey.

But, all I can say is that, if you love food, and appreciate the art that food can be, it was,and is, worth every penny.

We went for the tasting menu and wine pairing because why the hell not. Its not an experience you can do every day.

To say our minds were blown and tastebuds truly satisfied would be an understatement.

Wines were paired perfectly, the staff were attentive and funny, not overly stuffy which you may expect from such a fine place. And the food! Well the lobster dish was top class, it came with this insane lobster bisque and risotto...insane. we also got 3 desserts and the lavender ice cream with crystallised fennel was so unique and surprisingly delish.

I could go on but I won't. If you have a good budget, go here for a celebration or go here if you appreciate amazing fine food and excellent service. Give them another star

Amazing restaurant! I've been several times, but this time was the best ever! They've raised the level and they deserve a second michelin star now!!

Had the most perfect meal! From the mouth watering snacks like the beef tartare and the cheese puff and then the main scallop and lobster, every course was a dream! The service team were so friendly, helpful and so knowledgeable about each dish, I was so impressed! Honestly will be daydreaming about that truffle sauce with the Anjou pigeon!

Fully recommend!

So glad to have made a point to dine here during my weekend getaway to Dublin. (Pre-Covid) The staff was super friendly, the ambience was classy and cosy, food was delicious. If we are ever able to travel abroad again I’d definitely love to come back to this spot!

The best meal I have had in years
I can honestly say the the entire experience in Chapter One was outstanding. The restaurant is small, intimate, cosy and unassuming. The staff there are warm, welcoming and attentive without being intrusive. The food was outstanding from the starter to the dessert with subtle tastes of the individual components shining at each course. I also liked that there is a choice and I am not confined to a set starter and main etc unlike some of the newer restaurants in Dublin. We had the beetroot salad followed by the crab pancake and the ravioli and oxtail for second course, then the beef and the halibut for the main courses. I am waiting for the book to open up for January also we can return.
Thank you Chapter One

"A Perfect 10"
We came as 3 people to Chapter One and chose 4 courses from the A La carte Christmas themed menu. Every course was exceptional, beautifully presented and every ingredient blended perfectly. The staff are superb and our choice of wine was outstanding. Having been to many Michelin star restaurants around the world, Chapter One is equal among the all of the greats and in my top 2 in Ireland. We would have chosen the tasting menu but one person from our group was avoiding alcohol and felt that this menu without pairing was pointless. We will definitely return!

"Incredible meal"
My husband and I decided to do the tasting menu with the wine pairings. It was worth every penny! The portions are small, but there are about 9 of them, plus bread, so there was no way we were leaving hungry! Very generous pours on the wine as well. It was a great way to try both some food and some wines you may not ordinarily order! Everything was delicious, expertly prepared, and beautifully presented. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable about every dish and every wine. Overall a fantastic night!

"World Class"
The tasting menu was one of the best we've had anywhere in the world. Well thought out and paced, each dish was beautifully composed. Each dish was appropriately sized but deeply flavored. The service absolutely outstanding. Highly recommended.
