Mr Fox in Dublin

We wanted to try to new A La Carte menu at Mr Fox so booked tickets at the Gate theatre and decided to go before the play. We arrived just after 5 and sat in the outdoor area. It was glorious evening and the outdoor area catches the evening sun so perfect for a pre-dinner drink. We decided to stay outdoors for dinner as it was so warm. We had the beer battered langoustines to start and they're melt in the mouth delicious. They had just introduced the tiger prawn as a starter as we went for it and boy they're amazing. Enormous so one each was plenty for us. I had the short rib beef and herself had the cod. The short rib was incredible and I was assured the cod was equally incredible. We finished off with a creme brulée and it was probably the nicest I've ever had. A perfect end. We then had plenty of time to wander around to the Gate to enjoy the play, Lovesong, which btw was brilliant. Well done Mr Fox.

Brilliant food and service - tasting menu had many great dishes; worth the price

Amazing experience, food and service. The only slight minus was the cold welcome by the lady at the reception desk. A smile and a different welcoming phrase anything other than " what can I do for you", would be nice to match the rest of the atmosphere and well thought dishes/matching wines.

Overall, it's a good restaurant, but it doesn't really justify the hype around it. The room, the decoration and the location lack charm, but the staff is very cheerful and warm, which makes the experience pleasant. As for the cuisine, special mention for the bread and parmesan butter: a real delight. The desserts were fresh and refreshing, and the dish based on fish, gnocchi and morels was a real favorite. On the other hand, some dishes lack finesse. The attempt to revisit the crispy rice & tuna tartare with a hashbrown did not convince us. As for wine, we chose a French bottle (Côtes d’Auxerre) from the sommelier’s selection, quite expensive for its quality. In addition, a younger vintage than that displayed on the menu was served to us, without any explanation…

Absolutely amazing food staff service top notch

Nicely tucked away restaurant in the centre of Dublin. The service is diligent and the food fine to good. I'd recommend avoiding a weekend evening as the acoustics of the dining room result in an overwhelming cacophony. We could barely hear the wait staff and conversation was almost pointless. Maybe a good spot if you want to simultaneously impress and break up with someone?

✨️ wow.....a must visit!!! the ambiance @ mr fox's... staff are amazing and the supurb food-never tasted anything like it ....food kept coming out! What a very special place ( straight across from rotunda maternity hospital) so central!

Love everything about this place!!! Best food we had in Dublin and should be Michelin starred. We got a wine pairing with our experience which I would say is a must because the somalier is very knowledgeable. If we ever return to Dublin, we will be returning!!!

Met heel veel plezier hebben we hier gegeten. Vooraf hebben we aangegeven dat we dineren als een avondvullend programma zien en daar werd prima op ingegaan. We werden hartelijk ontvangen en hebben genoten van elk gerechtje, wat geserveerd werd. Ook de wijnen smaakten prima. Dit restaurant is zeker een bezoekje waard als je in Dublin verblijft.
