The best restaurantsof french in Dublin

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!

06/07/2025: Wonderful experience in every way

17/07/2025: We requested a Vegan tasting menu ahead of time, and they did not disappoint. While some dishes were also available on the regular menu, others were created specifically for our night. The hostess, our waitress, and even the gentleman working the bar were all great conversationalists and helped enhance the experience. The attention to detail was 2nd to none, and we hope they continue exploring the possibilities of Vegan cuisine in the future.

16/07/2025: We hosted our engagement party on Sunday 13th July in L’Gueuleton for 40 people. We are so grateful to all of the staff who made our engagement party so memorable and special. From the organisation when I first reached out to enquire right throughout the night of the party the support from the staff was incredible and very accommodating. All of our guests commented on the venue which has lit candles decorated around, background music playing and the fantastic food. Our compliments to the kitchen, we had so many comments about how amazing the food was and how plentiful it was. The burgers, prawns and sausage rolls were the firm favourite. It was really hot day in Dublin and the team ensured that there was outside seating reserved for our party to use when needed. The bartenders always make the best aperol spritz and their rosé wine is beautiful. We love L’Gueuleton and will definitely be back soon. Thank you for making us feel so special !!

13/07/2025: Okay but not much more. The food is too fat or too sweet (French toast). Situation with the nice terrasse rises the note on the other end.

07/07/2025: I went to this restaurant with high expectations and it delivered! . Every member of staff was lovely especially the waitress with black hair. The food was lovely especially my dessert , i ordered soufflé and it was delicious 😋 . I would 100% recommend and it is worth the price.

07/07/2025: Food was incredible, service was top notch and the waiters were so lovely and welcoming. I truly felt like royalty inside. Highly recommend

17/07/2025: This is a lovely, old school French restaurant that has a limited menu that always assures a lovely meal, well-seasoned, cooked to order and with a homey quality. Great service, too!

15/07/2025: Amazing night for my mothers 60th bday. First time coming to Bresson and my family could not have been happier, food was excellent.

03/07/2025: Very good meat, exceptional, excellent service

28/06/2025: Small place with tables inside and in a glass-enclosed, protected outdoor area. The decor includes a collection of corkscrews. The meats are well prepared.

10/07/2025: Had my first visit just at the end of June gone and was thoroughly impressed. Gorgeous food, with attentive and friendly wait staff. Particular thanks to the lovely blonde waitress (I forgot to get her name!) who really made the visit- absolutely deserves a raise!

07/07/2025: Amazing, just no vegan options, but lots of vegetarian options and gluten free as well. Strong recommendation! Very friendly and kind staff, it's always nice to come here :)

24/07/2025: I've eaten there quite a bit over the last couple of months and have never been disappointed. We had a family dinner for 6 adults and my 6 year old grand daughter a couple of weeks ago and everyone was very happy with the service and their choices of food. If your hesitant to bring children don't be, the staff are very good and attentive were children are concerned . I would definitely recommend Roly's Bistro for all occasions and especially their stakes.

21/07/2025: Roly’s Bistro, Dublin — Exceptional Irish Dining in Ballsbridge If you're searching for top-rated restaurants in Dublin, Roly’s Bistro in Ballsbridge should be at the top of your list. This long-standing favorite offers a perfect blend of Irish hospitality, fine dining, and locally sourced ingredients; all in a warm, welcoming setting. Despite arriving near closing time (without a reservation), our party of three was graciously welcomed. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate us with absolute professionalism and kindness, turning what could’ve been a rushed experience into one of the most memorable meals of our trip. We enjoyed: - Wild Mushroom Soup with Truffle Cream — rich, earthy, and beautifully balanced - Roast Vegetable & Cherry Vine Tomato Salad — fresh and vibrant with parmesan and basil lime dressing - Ricotta & Spinach Tortellini — comforting pasta with sun-dried tomatoes and basil cream - Grilled 8oz Fillet of Irish Hereford Beef — perfectly cooked, served with fondant potato and a peppercorn brandy cream sauce - Irish Berry Meringue Roulade with Lemon Curd — light, tangy, and refreshing - Sticky Toffee Pudding with Rum & Raisin Ice Cream — indulgent and unforgettable Every dish was beautifully presented and tasted as good as it looked. Whether you're craving the best steak in Dublin, vegetarian-friendly options, or traditional Irish desserts, Roly’s has it all. Highly recommend for romantic dinners, business lunches, special occasions, or just an unforgettable dining experience. Book ahead... though clearly, even at the eleventh hour, they know how to treat their guests right.
