The best restaurantsof french

06/07/2025: Wonderful experience in every way

06/07/2025: I had no idea when I was planning our visit that we'd have *two* fantastic meals I felt worthy of at least one Michelin star! Serendipitous to say the least. Again, our meals were like eating fine art - every plate was gorgeous and it took everything we had not to inhale but slow down and savor the incredible flavors. The meal started with an amuse-bouche consisting of a sushi bite, one I can't remember, and a delicious gougère. For starters, my husband had the stuffed courgette flower surrounded by an unctuous seafood bisque - the bisque was utterly amazing. I had the goat cheese salad, a riot of color and taste. My husband had the John Dory nightly special for his main, while I had the most perfectly cooked lamb with an apricot compote. Desserts were a trio of chocolate confections (husband) and a scrumptious pavlova (me). And as a special surprise, they brought out a plate with "Happy Anniversary" written in chocolate, with a chocolate raspberry truffle and a mini lemon tart. The lemon flavor was to die for! Our server was very correct and knowledgeable, but the real delight was the assistant server - I wish I'd asked her name. She graciously allowed me to speak French with her (she's from Montpellier) and we had such a great time chatting I was afraid I'd get her in trouble for neglecting her other duties. She was the true gem of the place. The restaurant is cozy and intimate, and it was completely packed. I wholeheartedly recommend booking a table!

28/06/2025: Ella served us, what a lovely, lovely, bright soul! Made our evening beautiful. The food was INCREDIBLE. As a couple, we have literally travelled all over the world, for the price you pay, the portions are decent, flavors were on point and like I said I want a tub full of that potato gratin (soo cozy and just divine!) We ordered the monk and sole, we also had salmon appetizers AMAZING.. Thank you for making our first dinner out in Ireland memorable. The vibe was cosy, the service was kind and bright, and the food was a hit. Thank you once again. We hope to see you again.

27/06/2025: Amazing food. We had the sole and hake. Both were cooked to perfection. And we had one the best waitresses ever. Thank you Ella!

18/06/2025: Amazing food and amazing service. Will definitely return.

02/06/2025: Very clean brasserie with trained staff who know how to meet your needs. The cuisine is excellent, I recommend.

04/06/2025: Marvelous authentic french food, great service and atmosphere

02/06/2025: The best mussels eaten, even surpassing those eaten in France!!! We loved it, the snails were very good, refined cuisine! Special mention for Grégoire who was super nice ;) for a last restaurant in Dublin, we finished well!!! Hello from the North 😁

18/06/2025: Probably the best fish and chips I've had in many years! Handmade cooked chips and fish that melted in your mouth...Amazing

15/06/2025: We were five of us and had all lovely meals. The staff were very friendly. A very pleasant atmosphere. In total it was a great experience.

07/07/2025: Such a lovely place! The owner is kind and very welcoming, and the food is absolutely fantastic. We ordered calamari and chips, pear and blue cheese salad, seabass, and seafood pasta with a bottle of Riesling. Everything was heavenly delicious and beautifully presented. No matter what you choose, you can't go wrong. Our only regret is not discovering this gem sooner, before our time in Tullamore comes to an end.

28/06/2025: As always, it was an amazing experience, food was lovely. Will defo visit again.

05/07/2025: Nice evening in a nice place. Thanks

29/06/2025: Fantastic. Great atmosphere, phenomenal service, and excellent food. Highly recommended. The fish and chips are spectacular.

09/07/2025: Vino por recomendación de un agente de viajes escocés y estuvo a la altura de las expectativas. Buen aspecto y ambiente estilo bistró. Pequeño menú del día con generoso aperitivo del chef como entrada. Filetes de alta calidad y cocinados a la perfección y servidos con una generosa guarnición a elección. Vinos Francés por copa y botella (tomamos Pinot Noir de Pay's D'Oc) de buena calidad. Buena selección de postres y helados. Personal amable aunque un poco caótico al principio, por eso le doy 4 estrellas en lugar de 5. Vale la pena visitarlo cuando estés en Galway.

22/06/2025: I came to Rouge in April 2019 when I lived in Galway and now I came back, I had a dinner this week on Wednesday and I have to say the food has nothing absolutely nothing to do with the one from 2019. The dishes are far more flavourful, made perfectly like in a French restaurant and I have been to France many times ^^ the transformation is extraordinary and I think the new chef is someone who deserves recognition because it was really incredible what he has prepared for us.

19/05/2025: Nice little cafe. Crepes are good but mine arrived a bit overdone. Coffee is also good and you can sit outside on a nice day, though the chairs are a bit wobbly 😂. Overall good experience.

19/05/2025: The crepes are delicious & there's no rush to leave the table.

06/07/2025: Superb family lunch in Campagne. Great food and service and great value for the quality of everything we had. Very easy train trip from Dublin also

19/06/2025: 3.5/5 Stars While the meal was certainly pleasant, it fell short of the exceptional experience one might expect from a Michelin-starred establishment. At this level, I anticipate a notable attention to detail, a flair for creativity, and a consistent elevation in quality. Though the dishes were tasty, none stood out as truly remarkable. The scallop ravioli, however, was a standout: impeccably cooked, perfectly seasoned, and a testament to culinary precision. Unfortunately, the overall experience did not exude the elevated standard associated with Michelin recognition. The cheese course, in particular, was a point of disappointment—lacking the sophistication one might hope for in such a setting. As for the ambiance, the decor was adequate but unremarkable—nothing that would leave a lasting impression or elevate the dining experience beyond the ordinary. The service, unfortunately, did not align with the expectations one might have for a Michelin-starred venue. The staff, though friendly, lacked the polish and refinement that typically accompanies such an esteemed rating. Issues ranged from simple lapses, such as not remembering which dish belonged to which guest, to more noticeable oversights like failing to present the dessert wine menu before the cheese course, or even neglecting to refill water glasses. Additionally, dirty plates were left on the table for an extended period. In summary, while the meal was enjoyable, the overall experience did not reflect the caliber typically associated with a Michelin star. There is potential here, but a more focused commitment to detail, both in the kitchen and front of house, is needed to truly distinguish this restaurant.

06/07/2025: é tutto buonissimo, il prezzo è buono, consiglio la 4 formaggi con aggiunta di prosciutto o anhe solo la classica senza uova

14/06/2025: I came here to eat for the third day in a row because the food and service was good, but I was met by the owner on my third (and now last) visit with an inhospitable manner that would insult anyone. It was pouring rain when we came in and although seats were opening up, he told us in a rude manner to wait outside. Then, when the seats opened up, he told us in a crude manner that we could not bring a drink inside, despite being return customers. He said it in an incredibly rude manner. There was plenty of space inside, and with the rain outside, any kind business owner would have asked their customer to wait kindly and that a table would open up. As a business owner, a welcoming environment and warm nature is important, but instead we were told to wait outside and that there would be no seats for us. It was so disappointing and incredibly upsetting for me and my family. I am not surprised that the other poor reviews here are also about the owner.

13/05/2025: Had a really great breakfast at my most recent visit. They were busy but we got a seat at the bar & both ordered the Deja Vu breakfast. It was delicious 💚

02/05/2025: Very delicious food,nice staff and great atmosphere

05/05/2025: We thoroughly enjoyed the tasting offering - the quality of the menu and food, the service and timing was exemplary. The sommelier rounded out a first class experience at The Bishop's Buttery!

21/04/2025: We had a dinner at the restaurant last night first, the food was excellent. There was plenty of choices. Also, the service was impeccable. It was also quiet which was inportant. I am gluten free and they accommodate it well.

12/05/2025: My friend and I had dinner in 2nd May 2025 and I can only describe the experience as superb. We both thought Menu choices were very very good and I personally selected the Veal which was “melt in the mouth”. It’s not often on Irish menus which is a pity. I also wish to acknowledge that a change of dining time was facilitated without any fuss. We will definitely be back.

09/05/2025: This was our first visit and selected this restaurant on the internet. 7 of us for dinner. Food was amazing and service excellent, attentive but not intrusive. Would highly recommend.

08/06/2025: Visité L’Gueuleton anoche y tuve una experiencia realmente decepcionante en el bar. Pedido dos margaritas y un martini expreso – se sorprendió al cobrar 66 €. 50 por los tres tragos. Había tenido una margarita aquí hace apenas unas semanas por unos 14€, así que me cuestioné el precio. El barman explicó que fue porque solicitamos tequila a don Julio, pero eso nunca se mencionó cuando pedimos, ni se indicó en el menú. Dijo que su política es cobrar por un chupito de tequila estándar más dos chupitos extra premium cuando se solicita Don Julio, que llegó a 26 € por margarita. Esa estructura de precios no tiene sentido, y cuando dije que se sentía extorsionado, se encogió de hombros y dijo: “Esto es Dublín”. Tuvimos que hablar con dos gerentes diferentes antes de que obtuviéramos un reembolso parcial de 21 €. Mientras tanto, dos amigos sentados a nuestro lado pidieron las mismas margaritas, consiguieron a Don Julio sin siquiera solicitarlo, y solo se les cobró 14€. 50 cada uno. ¿Cómo se puede cobrar a un cliente casi el doble por la misma bebida? Honestamente, se sintieron estafados: transparencia cero, precios extremadamente inconsistentes y una actitud que dejó en claro que no les importaba. No volveré.

08/06/2025: Disappointing experience at the bar. Ordered two margaritas and an espresso martini – was shocked to be charged €66.50 for the three drinks. I’d had a margarita here just a few weeks ago for around €14, so I questioned the price. The barman explained it was because we requested Don Julio tequila – but that was never mentioned when we ordered, nor was it stated on the menu. He said it’s their policy to charge for a standard tequila shot plus two extra premium shots when Don Julio is requested, which came to €26 per margarita. That pricing structure makes no sense, and when I said it felt extortionate, he just shrugged and said, “This is Dublin.” It took speaking to two different managers before we got even a partial refund of €21. Meanwhile, two friends sitting beside us ordered the same margaritas, got Don Julio without even requesting it, and were charged only €14.50 each. How can one customer be charged nearly double for the same drink? Honestly felt scammed – zero transparency, wildly inconsistent pricing, and an attitude that made it clear they didn’t care. Won’t be back.
