La ruelle in Dublin

On the positive side staff are lovely here. The location is also promising, tucked away off Dawson Street. The food is ok - so stop reading here if that’s all you want. It’s disappointing however (ok at best), particularly if you were going here hoping for a French restaurant. There’s a variety of starters, also labelled ‘tapas’, and the menu starts unpromisingly with garlic bread and lists patates bravas too. Scallops were ok. Pâté tasted pretty industrial. Various other dishes are on offer, many French, but it feels like it may have gone so far in catering for Irish tastes that any sense of this being a truly French restaurant is lost. Tartiflette was ok. Side salad was not nice. Apart from a creme brûlée they’d pretty much given up on French food by the time the menu got to dessert. The decor is not great, not the loud music. This could be a great place, so time for a revamp starting with the menu, which has too much on it.

Fantastic Service, amazing food !!!! Great atmosphere. Brilliant staff each and every staff member was so friendly. Worth a visit.

Always a great experience here. A perfect place for a intimate, gourmet, chíc, with good service and attentive staff. Highly recommend. Thank you ! 🙌

If you're looking for a cozy place with delicious food and great wines, look no further! This is the right place for you! The waiters are very kind and the owner paid a lot of attention to every little detail. Highly recommended!

Excellent restaurant, quality and tasteful wine bar, refined cuisine, warm and professional welcome Thanks to Christophe and his team for these unforgettable moments. We will return to this unmissable place in Dublin.

Another delicious meal at La Ruelle. Christophe and team are always very attentive to guests and make us feel welcome every time. The camembert and risotto were so tasty, as were the tartiflette and duck. Thank you for another memorable evening!

A thoroughly enjoyable meal with excellent wine recommendations

Really really lovely meal and experience! We didn’t like our table and suggested another and there was no problem made by the manager. In fact, when an even better table was freed, he offered that we move there (we were only in a few minute). My partner has an allergy and they were very careful to ensure he was catered for properly. Beautifully cook food, fairly priced. Same for the wine. Will definitely be back! Real French food without the usual fuss and stupidly expensive price tag.

Visited for Christmas lunch, but wasn't impressed. The restaurant is small, but it was cold. There is zero atmosphere, and the food was OK, nothing to write home about. The staff are great though.

Légèrement chère mais je pense que ça profite du concept français à l’étranger. Très bon petit plat et bonne ambiance. Je recommande fortement.
