For some chefs, achieving the industry’s most prestigious award can come with a litany of drawbacks and harm a restaurant’s bottom line.

There are plenty of Michelin starred restaurants in major cities across the globe, but one metropolis has contained the most of these for many years now.

Everyone knows Michelin-star grub is top quality - although it's safe to say it costs a bit more than your usual at the local chipper. On average in Ireland, it'll run two people €285 to get a tasting menu at one of these renowned restaurants.
