On October 1, 2018, an 18-seater restaurant in Ballydehob was awarded its first Michelin star just six months after opening its doors.
On October 1, Chestnut in Ballydehob was one of two West Cork restaurants to be awarded Michelin stars at a gala in London.
Opened by chef Rob Krawczyk and his partner Elaine Fleming, Chestnut is an intimate 18 seater restaurant situated in an old pub.
We went to visit Rob in Ballydehob to get his thoughts on the West Cork food scene and to chat about what it means to be awarded the prestigious star.
