The Commons Restaurant was a restaurant located in the historic Newman House on St. Stephen's Green in Dublin, Ireland.[1] It was owned by Michael Fitzgerald.[2]
It was a fine dining restaurant that was awarded one Michelin star in each year in the period 1994-1997. The Michelin star was again awarded in 2002, but lost in 2003 due to the chef leaving.[3][4] The restaurant later reopened on a more modest level.
Head chef of The Commons Restaurant during the last "Michelin period" was Aiden Byrne. The headchefs Gerry Kirwan (1994), Michael Bolster (1995) and Leslie Malone (1996 & 1997) took care of the first period. Last chef in this period was Sébastien Masi, but he, just aged 22, could not retain the star.[5]
Shortly after losing the star the restaurant run into financial difficulties and closed down.[6]Dylan McGrath worked under Aiden Byrne as souschef.[7]
