La Cave Wine Bar & Restaurant, menu in Dublin

Food and wine-amazing Service-terrible

Delighted to have selected La Cave for our Group Chrismas Lunch. Great food and atmosphere. Thanks to all the attentive & friendly staff for a wonderful afternoon.

A beautiful hidden gem that is cozy, ambient and classic, especially fab around Christmas time. Perfect for a wine and charcuterie night with friends

An old gem that is one of Dublin's hidden secrets. Tucked away underground just a stones throw away from Grafton street, Le Cave is the same as it always was. Great food, fine wine and the same ambiance since I was first in it in 1992. We love the place!

According to our new friend Margaret, who we met in Cork, we chose a great hidden gem for our last meal in Dublin. She was not wrong. At first when you walk in and then down the stairs to this tiny place, packed with people, it can be a little bit concerning. However, we were quickly acknowledged and seated. A booking is recommended. They pack the tables in, so be prepared to become best friends with the people around you, just as we did. We selected a Margaux from their exceptional wine list, and Oysters and a Prawn cocktail to start. For our mains we had Duck a l'orange and the filet of beef. We finished our meal with the cheese plate. Every course was excellent. This classic French bistro did not disappoint. Highly recommend.

Had a meal here on Sat night - was my first time - will definitely be going back. My wife had the prawn salad to start - she said it was delicious, and so fresh. (And a decent size portion too). I didn't have a starter. But their "bread for the table" portion was extremely generous. My only negative on the bread was that the butter was far too hard - it really should be at room temperature. My wife had the Duck Confit à l’Orange for mains and I had the Chicken Supreme. Both dishes were delicious. The veg was cooked to perfection. The only negative would be that the skin on the duck was not crispy - and was therefore far too fatty. However, the flavours were amazing - and for that - I will definitely be returning. 22/10/24 - ate again here - another superb meal - the food is so, so flavoursome.

Very French, but brilliant food

I can't say that this place is looking good. Too much red and the feeling that you are not in a restaurant, but in a bar in a red light street. They bring the wine already in the glases and never fill in in front of you. Then you never know what brand of wine you are drinking and if this is the same you ordered. We had a birthday celebration and usually staff in other places bringing a small complimentary plate with a Happy Birthday candle. But not in here. I can't say that we had a bad experience, no. But this is not the place where we come back again.

Food was beautifully cooked. Service was excellent. House wine (Sav Blanc) was really good and all at a very reasonable price. Tables are tightly knit depending where you sit, which some might find off putting. I had goats cheese starter, lamb shank and creme brulee...couldn't fault anything

Fantastic food and lovely surroundings. Will be back to try the snails
