After running one of Ireland’s top restaurants for over 30 years, Derry Clarke has a lot of great stories to share.  L’Ecrivain was high-end,  Michelin starred, and attracted international celebrities and wealthy business people from all over the world, as well as diners who were  just splashing out for a special occasion. Derry ran the restaurant throughout the heady days of the Celtic Tiger and he has weathered the storms of economic recessions, and he has seen it all.

In this episode of The Mario Rosenstock Podcast, Derry Clarke gives me a fascinating insight into what it’s like to run a Michelin-starred restaurant, as well as sharing loads of juicy stories about flagrant spending, celebrity diners, bar fights, Taoisigh with a penchant for fine food, and lots more!

And Derry is now creating that Michelin-star experience for diners in the comfort of their own home. To find out more you can email him directly – [email protected]
