Chef Mark Moriarty’s Studio opens as a restaurant one day a week

Chef Mark Moriarty’s Studio in Wilton Park, Dublin, operates as a restaurant only on Fridays, alongside its role as a TV and content production space.

The 20‑seat venue serves lunch at 1 pm and dinner at 7 pm each Friday, with occasional “secret” dining dates announced to its mailing list. Moriarty said the limited opening allows him to avoid the long hours of a traditional restaurant while maintaining a headquarters for his cooking, publishing and broadcasting activities.

In addition to the weekly service, the studio is available for private dining, which Moriarty describes as “key to the business.” He noted recent bookings from a major tech company, a secret mid‑week event and a product launch, indicating strong demand.

Moriarty highlighted that the concept – a combined TV studio, cookbook shoot location and restaurant – is unique in Ireland and rare elsewhere in Europe.
