Lundy foots in Dublin

07/10/2026: A quiet night recently at La Maison. We ate from early bird and had wine. As usual all good. Prices were ok. Portions are ok but not large. Service good. We are in the ‘glass tank’. We should have asked for heating but it seemed unfair to the environment. We sucked it up. -2 for atmosphere. Seems September is a quiet month.

28/09/2026: My sister and I went on a French onion soup expedition around Dublin, trying four different restaurants. La Maison came out on top. The soup was perfectly balanced, rich and comforting, with beautifully creamy melted cheese. We started with bread, the creamiest pesto and incredibly crisp olives, with a crunch almost like biting into an apple. An inexpensive Montepulciano paired beautifully with it, followed by homemade dark chocolate with a little bull on it that melted in your mouth. Anthony greeted us warmly and was professional and genuinely kind throughout. La Maison is a beautiful little French setting in the heart of Dublin, and there’s a reason it’s a favourite with people like Beyoncé when she’s in the city. Four French onion soups later, we found our winner. I’ll be back to work my way through the rest of the menu.
