Pearl Brasserie in Dublin

19/08/2025: Lovely surprise in Dublin. Don’t expect high cuisine but just lovely French bistro food, large portions for fair prices. Staff is friendly. They work hard yet remain friendly.

17/08/2025: An unforgettable dining experience at Chez Max! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm, inviting, and full of charm. The service was absolutely phenomenal—our waitress, Paola, went above and beyond to make the evening special. She was knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely passionate about helping us choose the perfect dishes and wine pairing. I’m usually a steak-and-potatoes guy, but on Paola’s recommendation I stepped out of my comfort zone—and I’m so glad I did. I started with the mussels, followed by the pork belly, and both were nothing short of spectacular. The mussels were fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. The pork belly was tender, beautifully presented, and layered with rich, complex flavors that were simply magnificent. My wife ordered the escargot to start and the chicken as her main. The escargot was delicate and delicious, while the chicken was juicy, full of flavor, and one of the best she’s ever had. Every plate that came to the table was a work of art—presentation and taste were equally outstanding. Paired with a smooth bottle of Côtes du Rhône red wine, the meal was absolute perfection. Chez Max is more than just a restaurant—it’s an experience. Between the cozy Parisian atmosphere, the impeccable service, and the unforgettable food, this is easily one of the best dining experiences we’ve ever had. A true gem in Dublin! Highly recommend—and a big thank you to Paola for making our night so memorable.
