WITH TWO MICHELIN stars to its name, Ireland’s most celebrated eatery, Restaurant Patrick Guilbaud, is having its ‘best ever year’.

According to company accounts, profits at the business increased by €210,458 – going from €564,531 to €774,989 in the 12 months to the end of August last.

As it benefits from a boom in fine dining and the recovering economy in Dublin, the 23-year-old restaurant is now hoping for that elusive third star.

But, obviously, not everyone is feeling the recovery. Or enjoys fine dining.
