2 french fine dining places in Dublin we have eaten in, sorted by editor score. All cuisines in Dublin | French Fine Dining across every city.
French fine dining sits at the top of Dublin's formal table, and the city's flagship rooms still look to the classical repertoire. Restaurant Patrick Guilbaud in the south city centre is the reference point, the most decorated kitchen of its kind in town, with Pearl Brasserie nearby offering a more brasserie-leaning take on the tradition.
Patrick Guilbaud's two-Michelin-star room inside The Merrion hotel on Upper Merrion Street in Dublin, French technique on Irish produce since 1981.
OrderThe lunch menu surprise at a fraction of the dinner ticket, with the Merrion's wine cellar by the glass.
TipLunch Tuesday to Saturday is the easier book and the same kitchen. Jacket suggested but not enforced for men at dinner.
Pearl Brasserie on Merrion Street in Dublin 2, Sebastien Masi and Kirsten Batt's French dining room across two decades, opposite the Merrion Hotel.
OrderThe pre-theatre menu, three courses for around €50, with the foie gras starter if the season holds it.
TipBook a window table on the upper level; the basement booths are warmer for a long winter dinner.
