Chez Max in Dublin

A must-see special place for a special night. Great vibey atmosphere, lovely friendly attentive service, and even better food: I’m still dreaming of that succulent duck confit. Thank you for taking such great care of us this Valentine’s.

Delicious food and lovely staff!

Gorgeous little restaurant. Highly professional staff and splendid food 💛

The French onion soup is the best I’ve ever had, incredibly fast and attentive service and a lovely atmosphere.

A piece of Paris in Dublin City. Gorgeous atmosphere and delicious food with friendly staff.

Nice food, good vibe, great waiters, amazing dinner

This is a beautiful hidden gem just outside Dublin Castle. The food is phenomenal as are the staff!

Chez Maz is criminally underrated. I booked an outdoor table for the first weekend of February and even though I had hesitated at first my nerves were instantly gone upon my arrival. The outdoor seating was well covered which kept the area warm and cut noise level of the bustling seating to a minimum. The option of blankets behind our chairs was a great option but they weren’t considered as the space was toastie. The staff were amazing and interacted with us that helped us settle down quickly. We decided to get two option course, and our main course were the steak Entrecôte & Frites “maison” and the Suprême de Poulet & Cassoulet de Haricots Blancs. Seeing the review beforehand I decided to get the steak. It was a 7/10. The dish lost points on having no veg along with the chips and steak. This could have turned the dish to an 9/10. The last point would be if Bearnaise sauce was an option and especially it being a classic French sauce I was hoping to see on the menu. Both additions would easily bring this dish to an 10/10. The biggest surprise of the night was the chicken. My partner offered me some and even though I didn’t want it it was still put on my plate to eat. I can see why she was so reluctant for me to try it. I cannot thank her enough for giving me a taste to a flavour that I have experienced before. The Pork Belly and Merguez Sausage added so much flavour that the chicken wouldn’t even be needed. After having a sample, I demanded more it was that good! I would easily travel from Cork to Dublin just to taste this dish. The white beans helps bulks the meal but it gave it a nice texture change as well along with the succulent chicken. The dessert option we choose were the Ganache au Chocolat noir et Sorbet Mangue and the Café Gourmand. What stole the show for the dessert was the Ganache au Chocolat noir. It has a darkness of 70% and once it’s in your mouth don’t eat it but let it slowly melt. With the lime biscuit crumble it helped provided a punch of sour lime that helped cut the richness of the chocolate. I will be back for this dessert. I got the Café Gourmand, and it was worth getting but the various options were smaller than expected. The different options suited each other but at the end of the day the Ganache au Chocolat noir was too good. Overall experience was a 9.2/10. This can be increased by the options I suggested above.

Lunchtime Sat visit... Hadnt been for a long time. Loved it and will return sooner this time!

This is just such a great place. We had a 6pm reservation and the place was buzzing so the atmosphere was great. I had the onion soup and chicken cassoulet which were very tasty and my the friends had something equally delicious. The staff were very professional (and very authentically French).
