Chez Max
Dublin
14/04/2026: We stopped for a drink. The staff were lovely and helpful.
12/04/2026: Chez Max is a very good little French restaurant that's a welcome sight when you arrive in unfamiliar territory, even though I enjoy Irish food! The service is truly excellent (in French) and the cuisine is refined. I recommend it for those who want to discover French cuisine in Dublin and for French people missing their favorite dishes.

Dax
Dublin
06/05/2026: Bizarre meal, service was professional but overbearing and favored posh customers to the point they forgot about us towards the end, not a-lot of room to enjoy the food between being asked if we enjoyed it.
Food was aggressively salted with inconsistent seasoning outside of the salt. Flavor pairings were brave but misplaced, the fish was not remotely fresh and a touch overcooked. Venison salted like they wanted to keep the devil out. Had a side that tasted like bacon coleslaw from an American sports bar. Wine list was huge and had some good choices.
Seating was jambed into a place that needed more thought on the layout and design.
More akin to a place you pop in for an upscale meal than one you place a special occasional reservation at. All together a disappointing show from a highly regarded establishment.
26/04/2026: We had lunch at Dax and truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we arrived, everything felt thoughtful, polished, and genuinely welcoming.
The wine was a standout—an exquisite Riesling from Alsace that completely won me over. It was beautifully balanced, not overly acidic, and incredibly smooth. It’s safe to say I’m now a convert.
What impressed us most, though, was how attentive and accommodating the team was with our dietary needs. My husband avoids flour and sugar, and I’m lactose intolerant, gluten- and wheat-free, and don’t eat meat. The staff handled this with such care and professionalism, always making sure I knew exactly what I could eat and how each dish would be adapted. It never felt like an inconvenience to them—quite the opposite.
The food itself was exceptional. The roasted potatoes were absolutely unforgettable, and the halibut was so light and fluffy we initially thought it had been steamed—it was that delicate and perfectly prepared.
Service was impeccable throughout. The chef even came out to greet guests, which added a personal touch that made the experience feel even more special. We noticed every table receiving the same level of attention, with guests being warmly guided out and engaged in friendly conversation as they left.
Dax delivers not just excellent food and wine, but a truly memorable dining experience. We’ll definitely be back.

One Pico
Dublin
11/05/2026: Lovely restaurant, staff are excellent the food is great but didn't blow me away. Portions are tiny but presented very well. Higher rate Nd price wise. Recommended
10/05/2026: Floor staff are great, however menu is not developed for substance - nothing remarkable especially given the price point. 6EUR for a double espresso was insane price to pay. 98EUR set menu meant they could have at least ironed the table cloths.

l'Gueuleton
Dublin
28/03/2026: randomly found this place while looking for a somewhat quiet place to have dinner (it was football day and half of the city watched the game)
both my partner and I had Rabbit Bourguignon and it was delicious!
the service was great and the waiter let us take a cheese plate for takeaway (we wanted to have a late night snack haha)
lovely!
24/03/2026: Went here for breakfast recently. Good but not sure I will be running back anytime soon. Beautiful interior!

Le Petit Breton
Dublin
12/05/2026: Great service, delicous food. Highly recommend
09/05/2026: It's true that the buckwheat crepes are sweet, what a shame! They're also quite heavy. The Breton cider is perfect. The coffee needs improvement. And to access the women's restroom, you have to ask the staff to open the door, and there's no lock either, which is really inconvenient.

Roly's Bistro
Dublin
20/04/2026: We had a lovely dinner in Roly's on the early bird out on the terrace. We were so well looked after and the food was delish. Great value and would definitely return.
18/04/2026: If you are looking for a place welcoming with good service and good food for several occasions go to Roly's. I went there to meet a friend, originally for a coffee and then in the end we decided to go for some pints and sides. They have different rooms and can accommodate you for coffees, teas, lunch, dinner... You name it. Loved going in there. Highly recommended.

The French Paradox
Dublin
17/03/2026: Excellent restaurant above the French Paradox! Le Maé!
Clear and original menu, a welcome change from Dublin restaurants.
Choice of fish or meat, starter + amuse-bouche, and dessert.
Special mention for the chocolate mousse, and I don't usually like desserts!
Perfect service, helpful and unobtrusive.
A lovely, unpretentious restaurant.

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...
