Marco Pierre White Steakhouse & Grill (Dublin, IRELAND) ★★★☆☆

There are two things we have come to know about Chef Marco Pierre White over the years - (1) he used to mentor a young Gordon Ramsay and (2) the two had a rather stormy relationship. But what we may have overlooked is that, Marco Pierre White is a pretty talented chef himself. He was once the youngest chef to garner 3 Michelin stars while never formally attended any French cooking training.

After Chef White's official retirement in 1999, he continued his career as a restaurateur and his "Marco Pierre White Steakhouse & Grill" concept can now be found outside of UK, in Dublin and Dubai. I decided to check out their Dublin branch on this Sunday afternoon.



The steakhouse was 70% full by the time we arrived at noon time. Any early lunch after church perhaps?



Pictures of a young Marco Pierre White can be found everywhere in the restaurant.



A 2-course lunch set starts at around €16.5. That represents the best value for money.

Chef White only uses top-quality ingredients from the market and this dish of jambon was definitely of top-notch quality.



The asparagus with hollandaise sauce was absolutely divine.



Our main courses were slightly less successful than our starters. Roasted chicken leg with yam puree, fried potatoes and cabbage won with both quality and quantity.



The beef stew with mashed potatoes was another enjoyable dish.
