The best restaurantsof french

13/11/2024: Had a fabulous meal here last night. Staff were very attentive.

31/10/2024: Outstanding food and excellent service at lunch -my wife has food /allergies and preferences that were not catered for in starter choices -asked for plain salad and instantly offered starter of heritage tomato /mozzarella from dinner menu. Food was uniformly good I had stuffed courgette flower with lobster/prawn mousse -worth every penny of 6.59 supplement ! We will be back !

30/11/2024: We really enjoyed our visit to Carrick and the Oarsman. The atmosphere downstairs was vibrant with lots of punters enjoying their weekend. We ate upstairs and it had the added bonus of a very talented gentleman playing an acoustic guitar. He played a wide range of instrumental tunes subtly in the background that had my foot tapping away during the meal. The staff were really friendly and on top of their game. Service was fast and they knew exactly who ordered what. Their home breads were delicious and so were all our starters, mains and desserts. The choice of wine and beer will suit all taste buds. Overall this is a really good gastro pub on top of its game and worth a visit if you are in the neighbourhood. We were a group of 8 and all of use said that we would be back. There was a group of 30, a number of couples and ourselves upstairs and everyone had a smile on their face and enjoying themselves. We are nearly an hour's drive from Carrick but it's worth the trip. Keep up the good work team Oarsman 👍

30/11/2024: We just had a brilliant time here last night. The menu was inventive, the food was delicious, and the fella playing the guitar was a gem.

29/11/2024: Dined here 2 nights ago. Food was delicious and staff warm and very good at their jobs.

23/11/2024: Had the most amazing meal here last night. Very unassuming restaurant but there’s nothing nothing unassuming about the food. One of the best fish meals I’ve had in a long time. Couldn’t recommend Lá Cote enough.

21/12/2024: Perfect experience in every way. Service was personable, attentive, and impeccable in every way. The food was transcendent and our server helped each member of our party choose the right entree and complement. This was a memorable vacation, and this was the ideal dinner for our last night together. I can't remember a better dining experience I've had in the last decade.

21/12/2024: Third time here and third outstanding meal. There’s a reason it’s become my favourite restaurant in Dublin. Food and service unmatched at the price.

09/11/2024: Pay attention! The trick is the flavour build up. My main was monkfish, cavolo nero, paimpol (?) beans, charred octopus, a seaweed butter emulsion and a piece of soft marinated fennel. Individually, grand. In combo, super. Very clever cooking, nuanced but big impact. Enjoyed very much. Service lovely and personable, but not as detailed as you'd expect for 1*, better dish descriptions and attention to wine service would be good.

27/10/2024: Worthy of the ratings great good and service a well delivered and thoughtful menu

07/12/2024: the bald guy is artificially nice and smells of cigarettes. / you would be ashamed to lie

24/11/2024: Everything was nice I don't have anything else to say 100%

05/12/2024: Javas is always amazing. I've been coming here for more than 25 years for the atmosphere, late opening hours and craic. Don't ever leave us Javas!!!

03/12/2024: Caramelized appels and roasted almonds crepes 👌

15/12/2024: We went back and it was superb again. We were outside, heaters kept us warm as did tye mulled wine, and the atmosphere was festive. Love this place and strongly recommend it. We were tucked into the only outdoor space they had, but it was cute and the atmosphere was great. Their food is terrific. Especially their pate, and their dessert platter. Wow. Only issue was that they ran out of the wine we were drinking, but I think that was our fault, not theirs. We were making up for the lost time during Covid. We will be back!!!!

14/12/2024: Such amazing food, reasonably priced, and a beautiful setting. Very French xx

08/12/2024: Really cosy place, very Christmassy and music nice and chill. A bit pricey but food and service are excellent.

28/11/2024: Nice pub, was quiet when we were there which was nice

12/11/2024: Love 💕 this place. Their sesame seed flat bread 🍞 is to die for. Closely followed by the garlic 🧄 mushrooms 🍄. Staff are always friendly and attentive.

10/11/2024: Easily the best nautical themed restaurant in tullamore

04/12/2024: The star of the menu is dessert-passion fruit souffle!

10/11/2024: Slightly expensive for lunch but worth every euro! I had the venison option for main course and not being a regular meat eater i found it quite intense but seriously mouthwatering Side dishes were lovely but nothing special. We weren't drinking alcohol as we were all driving so keep in mind as bottles of water are being poured freely......they are NOT free but add quite a lot to the bill....which totaled 100.00 ppl including gratitudlty.

07/12/2024: I'm afraid we didn't like the crepes too much, and the place feels like it needs a bit of a cleaning and tidying up.

03/12/2024: A well run, busy local french cafe. Effecient and friendly staff, excelent menu. Deserves to be supported

11/11/2024: Mediocre to say the least. One of our party wanted to add the side of mushrooms and onions, kitchen was out - this is quite literally something I have never heard of. The "amuse bouche" was forgettable, some cold balls of what appeared to be mashed potato, mushrooms also cold, cold mini steak kebabs (enough with the steak) and a rather sad vegetable kebab. My partner said his steak was too well done. My dish of bean cassoulet was acceptable. Our tablemates passed little comment on their own dishes. Restaurant was crowded and very noisy, diners competing with a crooning pianist. The waiters were very pleasant. The dessert of creme brulee did somewhat take away the sour taste. 2 of the desserts (the only two chocolate options) were unavailable. Overall underwhelming, wouldn't recommend. If you're going to offer a very limited menu, you need to have everything available and on point.

10/11/2024: I so wanted to love our night. It was a special occasion and a long time since we had been to Rouge Restaurant. I had made my original booking for 8pm but unfortunately they had no table for this time. So we were given a 9pm option which we accepted. We were not seated till 9.30. Our table was lovely however. The menu was straightforward, amuse bouche followed by either a fish dish, a choice of two steaks or vegetarian option. We had two drinks to start whilst waiting, a kir and G&T. The waiter was pleasant and informed us that the fillet steak was no longer available nor was our choice of wine! I understand that chefs can run out of certain meats as the night goes on, but to be fair the whole point of rouge is to have a simple menu and have plenty of that meat to satisfy your LATER BOOKINGS!! And we expected top quality meat which it wasn't. Tough, chewy and tasteless is best decribed on both our cuts of meat. The side dishes were very poor, garlic potato, veg ratatouille ( which was cold)) and chips. We were so very dissapointed. We love a great restaurant and Rouge had been one of our favourites on the past!! Our bill was €136. And wasn't worth it.

01/11/2024: The food lived up to the hype, but the service and atmosphere were just not quite what we'd expected. The restaurant was as quiet as a library (and about as much fun as one)

30/10/2024: We have dined in this restaurant multiple times for lunch and always enjoy the food and service. On this occasion, we brought our young daughter with us. The pricing for lunch on Friday & Saturday is €60 per person and €70 on Sunday. I have no objection to this as there is more choice. However, charging a young child €55 (€5 less than Friday & Saturday adult prices) is ridiculous and serves no value for money. The ingredients used do not justify the price tag nor could a young child even have the appetite to finish such dishes. In the majority of Michelin restaurants, there are other singular options such as Pasta, Burger, Pizza etc and a much lower cost and commitment. As a restaurant, you should consider your pricing points for very young children, even though the food presented and the menu itself was appreciated by us and our daughter. €35-€40 should be the maximum pricing for such a menu.

19/12/2024: Lovely little place with very friendly staff

21/11/2024: Overall satisfied with my brunch. My dish was delicious but the portion a bit small compared to the price and other brunch restaurants that offer the same thing. The place is a bit small and I highly recommend booking in advance. I recommend!
