Agree absolutely with everything you say. Chapter 1 and the greenhouse are both outstanding though I think the chef may have transferred?

He did. I think Greenhouse is still closed.
Greenhouse was best meal I’ve had I think. That was a few years ago.
The “mid level” of restaurant in Dublin charges silly prices for what they serve up. Then they hammer you on wine - I’ve seen wines that cost 8 euro wholesale for 70 euro in Dublin restaurants.

Ryleighs rooftop steakhouse is very good but a tad on the expensive side. Generally try and stay away from ordering steak when I’m out as I like it cooked a certain way and I could turn 2 vacuum packed ribeyes from Aldi for a tenner into something not far off what I’d get out.

I did of course. The poor waiter didn’t cook the steak.

I’ve a pal cc @habanerocat who buys cheap meat and then waterbaths it before finishing on a BBQ and it’s as nice as any wagyu.

Love to know where this is so I can book for Valentine’s Day
the crabs incident clearly left a bad taste in the mouth 
It’s very hard book Guilbaud’s* for two people.
** I don’t think it was there
I’d say it was Etto. It was a yellow oilskin coat. They were right.
The last time I had a steak it was a mistake!
What’s a WhatsApp crabs débâcle?

Does etto have notions? Twas a casual enough spot when it opened first but I haven’t been in there in 5 or 6 years I’d say
The sister restaurant Uno Mas is far better I think. Etto is a fairly shit space - it’s too cramped.
Two Michelin Stars for Chapter One and Liath.
I loved Chapter One for lunch. It’s a proper experience.
Liath was not to my liking. You’d be ating what the chef foraged that morning.
Bastible has got its first Michelin Star. I ate there a couple of years ago and enjoyed it but I fell for the try a different wine manoeuvre and ended up with a Czech wine that tasted of Earth. It’s a lovely restaurant.
Lots more around the country. The best value Michelin experience i had in Ireland was Ox in Belfast. They have a wine bar next door I’d happily live out the rest of my days in drinking wine, ating cheese and bread and listening to a guitar player they had.
