The best restaurantsof french

05/11/2026: Cannot be faulted. No restaurant lasts this long without doing a lot of things right. Went here for a business lunch yesterday. Food was excellent - a short but varied menu, everything perfectly cooked, flavoursome & beautifully presented. The room itself is cosy and while "old-school" in decoration with white linen and a more traditional upmarket restaurant aesthetic, it never feels stuffy. Service was friendly and efficient and overall a really pleasurable experience.

24/10/2026: Cannot be faulted, exquisite food gloriously cooked, just about perfect. Friendly efficient service.

25/10/2026: A fabulous meal in Pearl last night. I’ve been to most fine dining restaurants in Dublin but somehow missed this one. What a hidden gem, excellent service, fantastic food (we did the 6 course tasting menu) beautiful setting. Don’t miss out on this wonderful restaurant.

03/10/2026: Excellent dinner, perfect service, wonderful experience

13/09/2026: I always make sure to visit this excellent restaurant when I am in town. Top class food and service.

11/09/2026: The staff here are so friendly and super helpful! They took the time to explain all the gluten-free options, which made dining here such a great experience. And I highly recommend the chicken wings. They were excellent!! The best wings ive ever had.

14/10/2026: Went pre theatre for the early bird special as advertised on line, but paid for the full price menu when billed. Not acceptable lads, not unacceptable

14/10/2026: Another fantastic meal at Chez Max!! One of our favourite places to eat. The staff are so nice and friendly. Highly recommend Chez Max.

09/10/2026: City pubs are just too expensive for my liking theze days, 7€ for a Guinness is just not right this is why I dont head to these places anymore

28/09/2026: Very friendly staff and delicious food!

01/11/2026: Had the fillet steak , it was done to perfection . Lovely atmosphere in the restaurant.

29/10/2026: Excellent food, pricey but worth the price.

16/10/2026: Customer service second to none , beautiful rooms, clean, comfortable. Business trip made feel like home. Special mention to Oscar in the restaurant who went above & beyond !! Super Service !!

15/10/2026: Absolutely top class, we were spoiled by Oscar, such a gem of a person, he was so attentive and a great asset

24/09/2026: An excellent true French dining experience. They mainly serve steak and duck which I heard from others at my table were delicious, but I had the fish which was also amazing. You have the option for French fries or gratin, I got the fries which were delicious and (in my non-expert opinion) seemed pretty traditional and authentic. For dessert I had the Paris Brest which was delicious. It is choux pastry with hazelnut cream inside it is very rich however and I would recommend sharing it between two people. Overall an amazing restaurant and would definitely go back again.

06/09/2026: We had a mixed experience overall. The service was generally very good, especially thanks to the waiter, who was attentive, knowledgeable and happy to explain the starters and recommend how best to enjoy them. Unfortunately, the wine selection was a major disappointment. Several of the wines we wanted to order were unavailable, which felt particularly surprising for a French restaurant with such a strong focus on wine. We eventually let the waiter choose an alternative for us, and his recommendation was excellent, but the lack of availability was still disappointing. The food was pleasant but, in our opinion, lacked flavour and did not quite live up to our expectations. The desserts, however, were excellent and definitely one of the highlights of the meal. Most of the staff were lovely and helpful, although one of the waitresses came across as rather rude and condescending, which unfortunately affected the overall experience. A restaurant with great potential and some very good service, but the food and limited wine selection left us feeling slightly disappointed.

11/11/2026: Lovely food, lovely staff, I do recommend !

31/10/2026: Very welcoming restaurant Excellent cuisine Varied menu Attentive staff, I highly recommend it

16/10/2026: I had a wonderful experience at this café! The food was delicious, and the service was excellent from start to finish. At the end of our visit, Greta brought us the bill and spent time chatting with us. She was so kind and welcoming that she even surprised me with a complimentary dessert! 🍰 Thank you, Greta, for your kindness and for making our visit so special. Little gestures like this make all the difference. I highly recommend this place!

01/09/2026: Wonderful staff, incredible food and the atmosphere was relaxed and friendly. Quiet music in the background that didn't interrupt conversation. Excellent coffee and really excellent value. 👌

18/10/2026: Excellant three course menu with good choices. Somewhat disappoint no amuse bouche which you would expect in a restaurant of this stature. The choice of house wines as glass 250 500 bottle offerings excellant . The blackberry souffle was standout

25/08/2026: Not an unenjoyable experience, by any stretch, but I couldn't help but feel a little bit disappointed by the quality of the food. If I had just wandered in off the street with no expectations, I would have enjoyed it more, but knowing that it was a Michelin star restaurant, I was expecting to he wowed, which never happened. Overall, a decent Sunday lunch but the Michelin star is somewhat perplexing.

13/10/2026: Fantastic place with delicious food and great service. No complaints.

02/10/2026: We had breakfast here and everything was simply fantastic. The food was very good, the coffee was delicious, the atmosphere was lovely, and the service was excellent.

07/09/2026: Just wandered in off the street, no expectations. Excellent coffee, toasties, and the carrot and coconut soup was delicious. Great spot.

31/07/2026: Great coffee spot, sausage rolls delicious too!

17/10/2026: Filipe is the best bartender in Dublin; the drinks are wonderful, and it’s such a spectacular atmosphere to be in.

16/08/2026: Food average, service poor, prices high

17/10/2026: Love the place, great coffee, lovely atmosphere. I am coming frequently enough and was never disappointed.

16/10/2026: I ordered the honey crepe, it came out cold with cream on the side, I asked for it to be heated in the microwave, the pancake came out just as cold again and the cream hadn't melted which I knew then it couldn't have been in the microwave. When I paid I just mentioned it had been cold, the table staff member was extremely rude saying how did I expect it to be, as I was leaving the same member rudely shouted I'd like to see how you make them at home rather than apologizing.
