    I came as a solo diner in September. I had a reservation, but it didn't seem like everyone needed one. I was a little disappointed in the French onion soup, but found the beef Bourgogne to be delightfully tasty. The French onion soup was missing cheese. The service was ok. The place is a cute and cozy bistro. I would recommend a try.

    This was probably my favorite meal of our entire trip. It was a nice break from the pub food. The halibut was AMAZING!

    Everything was awesome. The best roasted beef ever. Great service, great ambiance. Might have been the best lunch I have had in a decade.

    A small authentic French restaurant. I've been here twice, the food is truly amazing. The menu is not large, but everything that I tried was so delicious. Their crème brûlée is the best - tender, creamy and flavorful.

    Foie gras amazing
    Neluta G.

    I was hoping for a five stars, unfortunately my Coq au Vin was overcooked and dry. i have tried the fresh foie gras as well which was amazing, cooked to perfection and served on a crispy pastry, garnished with pomegranate. I let the chef pair wines with the two dishes and overall a great meal experience. This place is also close to Temple bar so if you are in the area and in a mood for French food I am recommending this place.

    Frogs legs
    Emma D.

    I guess French food just isn't for me. When I saw an amazing online deal for this place, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to give it a whirl. My friends had raved about the påté and the atmosphere, so naturally I was excited to try this place. I booked via email confirming I had a voucher, etc. 24hrs later, I had not had a response, so I called. The gentleman on the phone was absolutely wonderful. He sorted it all out for us and we were booked in for a Saturday night. When we arrived, I wasn't sure we had found the right place as the entrance was covered by a red curtain. We walked through and felt uncomfortable walking through other patrons enjoying their meal. We finally made our way into the main building and were greeted and seated. I do not like the atmosphere here. It's a small restaurant, quite crowded and very loud. There were six people sitting at a table near us who were clearly having a good time, but everyone else had to know about it. Halfway through our meal they decided to have a karaoke session. I went out with my husband to enjoy some good food and some good chats. I had neither. To start I decided to have the påté and my husband went for the ever French frogs legs. am generally a lover of påté so I was super excited for this!. I expected a lot more to be honest. Some of the påté was extremely dry and it was served with some general toasted bread. I guess it just didn't really feel French. My husband's dish looked great, but was very bland. The sauce the legs were cooked in was lovely, but the meat itself had little flavour. We clung on to the hope that our mains would live up to the fantastic reviews I had read. By this time I had run out of water (The joys of being the driver!) and I was never approached by any member of staff asking if I needed a refill, despite seeing multiple other tables being attended to. Our mains arrived and things were looking up. Being a huge fan of anything mushroom, I had to have the wild mushroom risotto, while husband had Moroccan chicken. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his, while I was left again disappointed. Bland. Flavourless. In fact, the rocket on top of my risotto was the best part. I was so bitterly disappointed, I did not even want to stay for dessert. We quickly asked for the cheque. Upon arrival, I was advised I could not use my voucher for a Saturday night despite being told otherwise on the phone. However, the host quickly sorted this out for me. All two stars of this review are actually based on how lovely this gentleman was throughout our brief evening. Maybe I ordered the wrong things? Maybe it was just a bad night. Either way, food and atmosphere did not live up to expectations and I doubt I will be returning any time soon.

    Cassoulet with duck , pork belly and sausages
    Ellen S.

    At first we were slightly disappointed as the early bird menu (22/26 euro) was different than shown on the website, and none of the starters took our fancy. So we just opted for a main and dessert, and in hindsight I was glad I didn't go for three courses as I was in foodcoma afterwards, portions were massive! And we got a bread basket with a sort of pesto to start on the house to keep us happy. The duck cassoulet was just divine, full with big chunks of sausages and porkbelly, lots of beans and a rich tomato sauce. The mash on the side was so smooth and buttery I could almost drink it with a straw. Yum! My rhubarb nut crumble was light and not overly sweet. I was in food heaven. They served some complentary pieces of dark and white chocolate afterwards, which was a nice touch! The staff were effecient and we were in no way rushed. While we were there we decided we will definitely return soon.

    Coq au Vin, Braised Chicken in a Wine Stew, Bacon and Mushrooms. Delicious!
    Kimberly B.

    I ordered Coq au Vin, Braised Chicken in a Wine Stew, Bacon and Mushrooms. It's served separately with mash-potatoes & asparagus. By far the best dish I have eaten so far in Ireland. It takes about 30 minutes because of baking the pastry around the pot. Enough for 2. Make sure to check in to receive complimentary Prosecco. Save room for a dessert. The server will bring over a tray of beautiful sweets. If your not to hungry, don't worry. You will receive a cutting tray with both dark & white chocolate to cut to your liking. Bon appetite!

    I booked a table for five on Saturday night at 8.30, I was really looking forward to a fun evening with friends, and terrific food. I have always enjoyed dining at La Maison. But an email confirmed my booking and said we would be required to vacate the table by 22.30, a two hour window! I do not enjoy being rushed, or feeling under pressure to return a table. This practice is very unreasonable. I have cancelled my booking. Update - Olivier emailed me to let me know that the table would be available for as long as we wanted it, but I have made other arrangements. I will be back, it is a lovely restaurant, and the food is excellent.

You will need to come at the right time to get seats or you just have to wait. Bigger than 4 people group will not be able to sit together. They have a really good selection of oysters and do come between 5-6pm to enjoy 1€ off all oysters happy hour. I'm not an oyster fan, but I tried their torched oyster, they taste amazing. The oysters were displayed on a bed of seaweed. And they brought to your table and explain to you all the ingredients then torch in front of you. I love all the combinations to max the flavor. I wanted to try the Dublin shrimp but unfortunately they ran out, I was told usually ran out at lunch. So I ordered crab on toast, really big size crab meat with cucumber on a yellow crab paste. Seafood linguine was do yummy. It came with a lot of local baby mussels and some shrimps. Cooked in wine and garlic sauce.

And a wall of paper towels that customers from all around the world have written messages on -- love that. We got the oyster sampler, which is a perfect pre-dinner snack size for two. It comes with four different kinds of oysters, two each, eight total. The waitress explained the taste profiles of each type: one was salty, one was mineral-y, another creamy. I thought the creamy oysters took the cake. Pro tip: come during Happy Hour and get a euro off each oyster!

I won't tell you what the ingredients list includes because you should try it first yourself but it will blow your mind. That's right. Tartar sauce has the ability to BLOW YOUR MIND. The smoked almonds are delightful and the 0% alc pale ale was a lovely companion to the F&C. My plate had a healthy portion of both fish and chips and I even left some chips behind but one person in my group took to soaking her chips in the amazing malt vinegar provided. I had to go double duty, first splashing chips and fish with vinegar AND then going in hard on the tartar. Why leave chips behind? I ran out of tartar sauce! Finishing up with the lemon posset which I also HIGHLY recommend but don't ignore the sticky toffee pudding. Our group got both desserts and shared which worked out well. Make sure to call ahead for a reservation but needless to say I'll be contacting the FS team as soon as I book my return flight to Dublin

    Worth the two year wait! ... Let me explain…read more I was in Dublin two years ago, absolutely siked that there was a posh little chipper spot that could do gluten-free fish & chips. I made a reservation & arrived perfectly on time, just to find out ... I made the reservation for the wrong day. Fish Shop was fully booked out (& it's a small place!) so they could not accommodate me. I had to leave. I actually cried outside on the street. Gluten-free fish & chips is a big deal to me! So in 2026, I made a reservation for myself FAR in advance & made absolute certain that it was the CORRECT day. I did hold my breath just a little bit when I arrived, but I was good to go. The shop is tight - not a lot of room to move around. Unfortunately I was seated right by the door, so every time someone came in or out, I was blasted by cold air. I forgive. I ordered a skin contact Austrian wine & haddock fish & chips (gluten free, of course) & it all came out in a reasonable time. Everything was just spectacular. The fish was crispy, flaky, & perfectly done. The fries were thick & the malt vinegar was strong. The wine was weird & a perfect pairing. I really wish this spot wasn't across the ocean from me. I'll certainly be back every time I'm in the city.
