Couple behind Michelin-starred Aimsir to step away from the restaurant

The husband-and-wife team behind two-Michelin-starred Aimsir restaurant at the Cliff at Lyons hotel in Celbridge, Ireland, have announced they are to step away from the business.

 

Chef Jordan Bailey and his wife Majken Bech-Bailey, who oversaw front of house, are to leave the Cliff hospitality group after five years.

 

The couple moved to Ireland in 2018 and Aimsir won a Michelin star in the 2020 Great Britain and Ireland Guide just four months after opening.

 

Bailey was formerly head chef at three-Michelin-starred Maaemo in Oslo, Norway and worked as sous chef at Simon Hulstone’s Elephant restaurant in Torquay, Devon.

 

In a post on social media, he wrote: “After five years, myself and Majken have decided that we will be moving on from Aimsir and the wider Cliff Group

 

“Since our first days here, my wife and I have married, had a baby girl, and have fallen in love with Ireland but, although the current team at Aimsir is the finest I have ever worked with and I am immensely proud of what our team delivers every service, we both feel the time is right to move on.

 

“We both know exactly what we want to do next in Ireland and hope to announce that later in the year.

 

“We would like to thank all of our exceptional team who have worked with us at Aimsir since we opened, and all our wonderful guests, friends and suppliers. Majken and myself have received nothing but widespread welcome, positivity and support since we came to Ireland, something we have appreciated more than I can ever say, and we look forward to our next chapter in this country.”

 

The couple’s last day of service at Aimsir will be on 15 April.
