A New Venture
The new era at Chapter One, which brings together Mickael Viljanen’s energy and passion with Ross Lewis’ experience & mentoring expertise, aims to create one of the most unique dining experiences in Ireland.

MICHELIN Guide - UK & Ireland 2025
“Mickael Viljanen’s basement restaurant is a stylish, elegant spot decorated with eye-catching art. Superb service complements cooking that focuses on prime luxury ingredients – like Donegal lobster or Limousin sweetbreads – and sees classic French techniques combined with subtle modern touches. Mickael’s creativity and personality shine through in perfectly balanced, immaculately executed dishes with sublime natural flavours and beautiful presentation. The ‘Irish Coffee’ is made in the dining room and is, like everything else, an experience to remember.”
