Dax
Dublin
03/09/2026: Fabulous restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious and so well presented. The staff and Olivier were so warm and friendly. I can't wait to go back!
03/09/2026: We loved our evening at Dax. The food was amazing. Even though its expensive, we felt it was worth it for a special occasion. Service was excellent. At the end, the chef came to our table to ask how the meal was. We hope to return

Chez Max
Dublin
21/07/2026: Bordering on inedible food. The menu reads well but does not deliver and service was slow. The waiter walked past our table that was covered with dirty dishes countless times without glancing over or removing them.
I had the tomato tart and it was hideous. Soggy pastry and soggy tomato.
The beef bourgeoisie was really bad. Chewy meat and just horrible to the point that I left most of it behind.
Avoid, I cannot fathom how this place gets good reviews. Location is great but the book ends there.
20/07/2026: Chez Max is an excellent choice if you’re looking for a relaxed lunch in the heart of Dublin. We stopped in for lunch and came away impressed by both the quality of the food and the value, especially considering its central location.
The sandwich special was outstanding. It was made with fresh, quality ingredients, generously filled and packed with flavour. It was the sort of simple dish that is elevated by good produce and careful preparation rather than unnecessary complexity. The portion size was generous and made for a thoroughly satisfying lunch.
The restaurant has a warm, welcoming atmosphere with the feel of a traditional French bistro. It’s comfortable and unpretentious, making it an easy place to settle in for a leisurely meal while taking a break from sightseeing around the city.
Service was friendly, efficient and attentive throughout our visit. The staff made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived and ensured everything was delivered promptly without making us feel rushed.
For anyone exploring central Dublin, Chez Max is well worth considering for lunch. Between the excellent sandwich special, quality ingredients, welcoming atmosphere and good value, it offers an enjoyable dining experience that exceeded our expectations. We’d happily return on a future visit and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to others looking for a reliable, relaxed lunch in the city centre

One Pico
Dublin
12/09/2026: Absolutely amazing! From the food to the staff, I can’t go to without mentioning Jirka and his daughter Lola. And the passion fruit soufflé is a must-try.
01/09/2026: Three hours. Four courses. Four different staff to get the bill.
Nearly 30 years of pedigree, a Michelin Guide listing, rave reviews everywhere. So we expected a lot. We didn't get it.
Everything was aggressively salty, and I like salt. The broccolini that came with my dinner tasted like it was boiled in hot dog water and covered in ballpark cheese. And table after table left theirs barely touched. The filet was cooked properly but tough, a bad cut, which at €85+ a head is worse than a temperature problem.
The desserts were the star of the meal; every one finished and enjoyed. But salting is Cooking 101, and a filet that tough starts with the butcher's knife. That's not one slipped dish. That's a kitchen slipping.
Every member of staff was polite. But the service was better at McDonald's. Three hours for four courses means being forgotten between courses by people who are very nice about it. When I asked for the check, one server said "sure," then strolled past us clearing other tables. It took four different staff before anyone took our payment.
An off night, maybe? Except the dining room full of untouched broccolini says otherwise.

l'Gueuleton
Dublin
17/08/2026: Was once our go to restaurant for brunch. We have had brunch here numerous times. Unfortunately they changed timing of brunch so some of their best dishes such as Croque monsieur and their eggs benedict, Best in dublin for me, are no longer available after 12. Such a shame. While the menu after 12 is fine it is just isnt the same on a saturday afternoon. Efficient service, depending on your waiters mood, still a nice ambience in a beautiful building. Spanish olives were nice. If a bit over seasoned. Crab roll (both had) was pretty but forgettable, not particularly satisfying. Though this was probably influenced by disappointment of not seeing the dishes we knew so well on the menu. Will still go back here but need a new venue for Brunch!
13/08/2026: The place in Dublin to order an onion soup. If it's not on the menu just ask the waiter.

Voici
Dublin
10/09/2026: The food was fantastic and the decor / atmosphere as well. Will be going again.
06/09/2026: Food was delicious genuinely flavoursome.
A bit surprised to be served Croque Monsieur with no fry’s on the side and no sauce or options. Nonetheless very tasty.
4 stars only because they brought everything together, by the time you eat the sandwich the pancakes were stone cold. Really tasty otherwise.
Definitely on the pricey side. 3 sandwiches and 2 pancakes was €50. No beverages bought.

Boeuf
Dublin
05/09/2026: Good food in the city center at very good prices
02/09/2026: Standard above average Dublin restaurant. The platter of steak with all 4 cuts was good, the sides were a bit of a let down

Roly's Bistro
Dublin
17/08/2026: My partner, her father and myself went to Roly's for my partners birthday. It was our first night in the terrace area and it was a lovely evening. The food was delicious - I had the duck wontons and the fish and chips and both were great. The service was great - all members were welcoming and were good fun. Would be back again!
16/08/2026: We had a truly lovely meal here today!
The food was delicious, and we were given special care by the waitstaff and in particular the extremely friendly Khan, who not only brought us many laughs but he also went above and beyond to celebrate myself and my partner’s engagement and made a real fuss of us.
Thank you very much for giving us such a memorable occasion!

The French Paradox
Dublin
07/09/2026: Had the wine tasting here - 2 whites, 2 reds - and can't recommend it enough. The server, a lovely gentleman, was so friendly and clearly knew his stuff, took real time to explain each wine properly. Genuinely lovely experience. We'll be back.

Wine Depot
Dublin
13/04/2025: Ambiente/vibración fantástico, un retroceso total a los años 70 y 80, pero no se siente cojo y anticuado, comenzando por la sensación secreta de entrada y el viaje por las escaleras. Tranquilo, buena comida y una gran carta de vinos. El servicio también era excelente y la música encajaba con el ambiente. Estuve en Irlanda durante aproximadamente 2 semanas y este fue el descanso perfecto de la vida del pub. ¡Volveremos al 100%!
02/02/2025: Visitamos La Cueva con la esperanza de una auténtica experiencia gastronómica francesa, pero desafortunadamente, la comida y el servicio no cumplieron con las expectativas.
Como nota positiva, el lugar en sí es hermoso y tiene un ambiente elegante, preparando el escenario para lo que esperábamos que fuera una gran comida. Sin embargo, la comida estaba lejos de ser auténtica, y nos dejamos cuestionando si el chef tiene formación formal en cocina francesa.
Comienzo: La sopa de cebolla francesa fue decepcionante y careció de los sabores ricos y profundos que definen este plato.
Principal: La caña de cordero era promedio en el mejor de los casos, y las guarniciones no la complementaban bien. Los sabores se sentían desiguales.
Postre & queso: La selección de quesos sabía como si procediera de un supermercado local, y las galletas saladas eran galletas saladas estándar de Carr directamente de un paquete, difícilmente lo que se esperaría de un restaurante que tiene como objetivo ofrecer una experiencia gastronómica francesa.
Tampoco había servicio. Mientras que los camareros eran amables, tuvimos que pedir todo — agua, limpiar la mesa, e incluso el siguiente plato. Hubo poca atención, lo que hizo la experiencia frustrante.
En general, aunque La Cueva tiene un entorno hermoso y elegante, la comida y el servicio no estuvieron a la altura de las expectativas. Desafortunadamente, no lo recomendaría para aquellos que buscan una verdadera experiencia gastronómica francesa.

Le Perroquet
Dublin
11/11/2024: Extremadamente pobre, sobreprecio y muy definitivamente sobrevalorado. He estado aquí antes, sin embargo el servicio es mucho más lento, peor y definitivamente no vale la pena otra visita. El cargo por servicio es descarado y no se gana. El personal no comprende el inglés básico y no tiene ningún concepto de urgencia.
18/09/2024: Solía ir aquí para la mejor calidad. pasteles clásicos de estilo francés y estaba feliz de pagar una prima. La crujiente y frescura de la pastelería era la mejor de Dublín. Ya no - sospecho que ahora están comprando en la misma basura súper grande que uno ve por todo Dublín y la frescura y calidad recién horneada se fue por la ventana. Nunca más gracias...
