Mickael Viljanen, head chef at the Greenhouse in Dublin, one of only three restaurants in Ireland to hold two Michelin stars, has resigned. The restaurant was awarded its first star in the 2016 Michelin Guide, with a second following in the 2020 edition. The Greenhouse: Mickael Viljanen is leaving the two-Michelin star restaurant in Dublin. A spokesperson for Michelin said: “Michelin stars are awarded to a restaurant rather than a specific chef, so the stars stay with that restaurant if a head chef leaves. “Bless you, you have earned your place,” said the chef and restaurateur Raymond Blanc, when he presented Viljanen with his monogrammed two-star chef’s jacket at the awards ceremony in London to launch the 2020 Michelin Guide.
