The Greenhouse is a restaurant located in Dublin, Ireland. It is a fine dining restaurant that was awarded a Michelin star in 2016 and retained that until 2020, when it received its second star.[2][3]

Head chef of The Greenhouse is the Finn Mikael Viljanen.[4] Owner of The Greenhouse is Dublin restaurateur Eamonn O'Reilly.[5]

"Connoisseurs" deemed the restaurant worthy of a Michelin star a few years earlier but to their annoyance, the restaurant did not get the award in either 2013 or 2014.[6] The restaurant got its second star in 2020, one of only four Irish restaurants to ever receive that honour.[7]

On 21 May 2021, The Irish Times announced that head chef Mickael Viljanen resigned and joined restaurant Chapter One to take over as head chef from restaurant owner Ross Lewis.[8] As of February 2022, The Greenhouse has not reopened since closing during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.

Awards[edit]

  • One Michelin star: 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019
  • Two Michelin stars: 2020
