Let’s talk about Gareth

The name of the restaurant is Forbes Street by Gareth Mullins. Let’s talk about him.

For over 20 years Gareth has delighted patrons of five-star hotels in Ireland and Australia with some extraordinary culinary achievements. It all began when he qualified from DIT Cathal Brugha Street in 1999 and then he was off, spending five years in Sydney, Australia, where he worked as head chef at the W Hotel and as senior chef de partie in the Radisson Plaza Hotel.

Next came seven years in the Merrion Hotel as head chef in The Cellar Restaurant & Bar where he helped The Cellar achieve two AA rosettes and the bar was recommended in the Michelin Guide.

Gareth was appointed executive chef at The Marker Hotel when it opened in 2013 and for the last decade has been responsible for some genuinely brilliant creations coming out of The Marker Hotel’s four kitchens: The Brasserie, the Rooftop Bar and Terrace, the Marker Bar and in-room dining.
