We have seen an increase in these opening in Dublin but is it enough to put your name to something & never having a presence in the Kitchen??

I don’t think so – it may be enough to draw you in in the first place but long term if the food doesnt live up to the name it could be more damaging in the long run

Current Celebrity Chef Restaurants in Leinster include

Marco Pierre White Steakhouse & Grill – www.fitzers.ie ( we are booked in for next wk )

Gordon Ramsey @ Powerscourt – www.ritzcarlton.com

Gary Rhodes Capel St venture Rhodes D7 closed for a revamp and was meant to re-open on St.Patricks day however it still remains closed & website inactive so I dont think we will see it reopening
