Lucinda O'Sullivan's restaurant review: Andy McFadden's Glovers Alley serves up a treat, but I'm down on the decor
Briefly

Glovers Alley, located in the Fitzwilliam Hotel on St Stephen's Green, has earned acclaim for its exceptional food, securing a Michelin Star in 2022. Despite maintaining this prestigious recognition, critiques suggest that the restaurant's ambiance requires enhancement. The venue opened in 2018 with much anticipation, filling the spot of Kevin Thornton’s former restaurant, which closed after losing its star status, an event that stirred discussions about the Michelin judging process.
After four years of blood, sweat and tears in the kitchen, Andy McFadden's Glovers Alley at the Fitzwilliam Hotel on St Stephen's Green achieved its first Michelin Star in 2022, and has since maintained its status quo.
The food is undeniably superb, although the surroundings could do with a pick-me-up.
It had opened in 2018, with lots of hype, in what had previously been the space occupied by Kevin Thornton who it was generally felt, after 25 years of glittering stars, had been badly shafted by Michelin.
This situation was believed to have played a part in the subsequent closure of Thornton's restaurant.
