Guinea Pig in Dublin

Amazing dinner for my Mum’s birthday. Food, service and setting were all perfect. We will be back!

The Guinea Pig has been in Dalkey for decades. Defo needs a bit of an upgrade although seems to be favoured by the elder generation. Food was “enjoyable” but not outstanding. Service good. Wines ok.

prawns and lobster were world class, bread was a real let down,

The decor was French bistro and charming. The staff were warm and welcoming but service was very slow. Some might say it was unhurried - which is always welcome - but it veered uncomfortably far into the too long wait. The menu has the classic bistro basics. The wine list adequate. My starter of French onion soup was a little inferior - I have had far better. My main, steak frites, was also a little disappointing. Overall, nothing catastrophic, and the staff were friendly. I have been before and will probably return - sentimental reasons - but it has and could be just a tad better in the kitchen area.

Our absolute favourite restaurant. Food is divine, and the manager Kevin is a brilliant host.

the finest, thank you, very enjoyable evening
