Mr Fox review: This beloved Dublin 1 spot has an impressive new chef. Does his menu deliver?

“A new chapter begins at Mr Fox.” That was the heading on the email that landed in my inbox, and it was enough to pique my interest. It had been a long time since my last visit – years, in fact – and the chef taking over as chef patron alongside founder Anthony Smith – who opened the restaurant almost a decade ago, and more recently D’Olier Street in Dublin 2 – has an impressive CV for somebody many of us might not have heard of.
