The absolute best meal we had during our stay in Dublin in July/Aug 2025. After stopping in another restaurant nearby that a local recommended and receiving the worst seats and attitude, we decided to leave without placing an order and find something else because no way.. life is too short. We walked around the corner, I saw Pichet and immediately remembered it from my trip research. I was visiting Ireland with my mother who is not an adventurous eater, so I looked at the menu online - found a lovely pasta dish that she would enjoy and she agreed to go. Turned out to be a great decision and a very memorable meal in every way. Service was wonderful... attentive, charming, and funny. Wine was perfection. And the meal was outstanding. My mom had the Knockanore cheese agnolotti with girolles, baby courgette, lovage and hazelnut pesto, and I had harissa spiced local lamb shoulder with tomato cumin puree, smoked yoghurt, roasted gnocchi, courgette and basil. We also shared two desserts, an Île Flottante with creme anglaise, Irish strawberry, strawberry prosecco sorbet, and an almond and black sesame tuile as well as the tropical themed and highly recommended coconut parfait with rum roasted pineapple, passion fruit gel, and coconut sorbet. Perfection. We chatted with a lovely local lady next to us for a bit and then two delightful & vivacious young women who arrived shortly after. One from Italy and one from Mexico. This is part of why I love travel. I recommend making reservations or arrive on the early side if you want to try your luck without one. We were able to get a seat in the bar/lounge area early as a walk in. All in all, I couldn't have asked for a better experience. 10000/10000 would go again. read more

Had a team dinner here on my business trip and it was amazing! We had a large table of about 12-14pp. We did the course meal. The restaurant was dark,cozy, and clean. It came with an appetizer main and dessert. I forgot what appetizer I got, but my main was veal and dessert was carrot cake. I don't remember what my appetizer was but it was tasty. My bf got the smoked salmon with dill sauce which I remember because it was different. The veal was amazing. Cooked perfection. Carrot cake was more bread like than i expected. Definitely not like the American cream cheese frosting carrot cake however still delicious. The meal was amazing and something I look forward to again! read more

Pichet @ 12:30 pm Wednesday Started with a slice of homemade focaccia with evoo and balsamic vinegar. The focaccia was a lighter version than I've had more dense, so it effortlessly soaked up the rich and buttery evoo, and anything dipped by design. The restaurant was full at 1:30 pm. Two Kir Royals in.... Starters Roaring Water Bay Mussels, Braised Leeks, Morteau Sausage, White Wine, Toasted Focaccia 14, 4,5,13 The broth was salty and flavorful. The mussels were not overcooked as most restaurants do, but slightly under so they could finish in the heat of the broth and you get the full flavor of the sea. Delicate and exquisite! The grilled focaccia paired well soaked. Salad of Heirloom Tomatoes, Stracciatella, Anchow, Artichoke Barigoule, Oregano Emulsion 4, 8. 2,9, 12.13 The charring/blistering of the tomatoes brought out their sweetness, and the subtle bits of anchovies was a VERY nice finish. Gave complexity to a more simple and refreshing salad. Barbary Duck Breast, Orange Glazed Endive, Roasted Fennel, Pickled Walnut 3(Watnut) 7, 9, 12, 13 Wow...friggen amazing! The duck was perfectly cooked, the sauce rich and deep, the fennel was not overpowering but subtle. A little bit of everything...decedent and with a slightly bitter endive finish. I really appreciated the roasted fennel with the citrus finish. An exceptional experience! My meal was $46 euros for 3 courses. I couldn't finish the mussels or the main duck dish, there was plenty of food so prepare yourself. The ambiance is smart casual, with lovely glassware and tableware. The staff is just lovely and everyone checks in with you regularly. A perfect experience! The EU way, they do not rush you out, so sit and enjoy! read more

Throughout our trip to Ireland, we were unfortunately not impressed with much of our dining experiences. Pichet changed that. We were completely impressed with the quality of food, the flavors and the overall experience that we had. After two weeks of mediocre fare Pichet changed my opinion on the food scene in Ireland and I was so happy we stopped in. The service was great and the ambience was absolutely lovely. Next time we're in Dublin. We will definitely be coming back to Pichet. read more

Made last minute same day dinner reservations after walking by earlier that day and glancing at the menu. Shared an app, two mains and a dessert. The food was delicious, great flavors and cooked perfectly. Really enjoyed our dessert, thyme ice cream was such an unexpected flavor with the peaches and white chocolate. Service was good but waiter was a bit off putting. Would love to try different dishes here. read more

Our family of four had a delightful dinner at Pichet. Each of us loved our dishes and all sampled each other's. The presentation of the food is exactly what you would expect from this caliber of dining. The service was also on par. The dining room is cozy, and our table made us feel like we were dining alone and out of the way from other guests. I would definitely return, especially since their menu seems to change quite regularly. read more

Husband chose this place for my birthday dinner while we were in Dublin. After a couple of flight delays where we had to move our reservations, we ended up arriving earlier than we rescheduled for but they were able to accommodate us on a weekday. Small restaurant with an upscale feel but I didn't feel under-dressed with my winter gear on. We started at the bar and they found a table for us before we got our food. The elderberry Collins- OMG. Soooo good. if nothing else, get this drink. I'm not much of a drinker so for me to finish a drink is unheard of lol. I had the halibut 5:5 and husband had the duck-4/5 I think he would have like it 5:5 if the skin was left on. We also had the scallops and celeriac for appetizers. They were so sweet and brought out a birthday treat as well. read more

A bit of a let down if I'm honest. I planned our trip to Dublin for our 27th Anniversary for months. Reservation and excitement building for months for Pichet. When we showed up, our table was one in the middle of the dining room surrounded by other tables and definitely not special. We showed up 15 minutes early so parked at the bar and ordered a few cocktails from the bar. I didn't want to be late since the instructions were clear. The bar was fine. Once we were escorted to our table I was so disappointed to be sat at a table in the middle of the dining room. I made our reservation early and added that it was our 27th anniversary so hoped for a decent table and a little extra love but no. Good was good. To be fair the beef short rib appetizer and venison main were really tasty so the food didn't let the place down. Service was adequate. I didn't feel a need to order anything more so dessert wasn't on the agenda. So for me, yeah, food was good but not worth a second visit based on my overall experience. I appreciate it for what it is but it is nothing more special than the many places I've visited in Dublin. We're headed to Pickle tomorrow and hope That makes up Some of our letdown at Pichet. Not sure how it had the Michelin distinction. Especially not worth a visit on a special occasion. We were left with two sad jellies on a plate. Hmmm. read more

I am always so skeptical of result nice places like this but I have to admit Pichet killed it. We had a reservation and they let us sit early which was honestly great because since it is kind of a coursed meal it took about 2 hours which was fine because we were happy to sit and chat. I ordered a delicious glass of red wine and the bread service came. Delicious and simple. For our appetizer, we got the scallops and salmon. The salmon was great and Smokey and the scallops I loved the hint of chorizo and so tender! For our main we all got different things but I got the fillet and this was just so tender. I was skeptical in portions but this meal was very filling. Everything you could tell was curated and the vibes of the restaurant and the staff just elevated that. We also shared the fried artichokes as a side which came with a great sauce. Of course we had to finish dessert and we really came for the Eaton mess which was just perfect. I had an Irish coffee to accompany it and the meal was finished. A worthy stop for an amazing culinary experience! read more

Service - 5 stars Ambiance - 5 stars Food - 3 stars Saw this on Michelin guide and thought it was a fantastic value. The beautiful decor and elements of the seating and wall decorations in three unique rooms were stunning. The attentive staff with different utensils and constant filling up of water was good. The starters were excellent - mussels being our favorite. Then when the entree came it was disappointing for us. The venson shoulder and duck breast for the main was complicated in flavors and texture. Not impressed but a very good value. The sides cauliflower and peppers were mixed in extra flavors that didn't make much sense to us. Perhaps we should have diversified our dishes and chose a fish or something else. Bread was delicious Btw we asked them for additional and they were kind enough to have given us a few more slices. read more

A fabulous stop for a special occasion dinner. We came here at the end of a few days in Dublin for a special occasion dinner. The wait staff was wonderfully accommodating of some allergies in our party and was really helpful picking out dishes that all of us could enjoy. The atmosphere was lively but not loud, a place you can go with older guests that still want to hear table conversation at a quiet volume. The pate was a standout as well as the carrot cake dessert, which was in sort of a deconstructed format and the Eaton mess which was refine version. Really though, you could pick just about anything on that menu and enjoy it. A lovely place for a special night out! read more

Really felt like home dining at Pichet this past fall. We made a last minute dinner reservation after passing by on a walking tour. Staff was very welcoming and greeted us immediately. The manager even stepped out to have a chat and check on us during our meal. Very quaint yet cozy dining room. The food was filling yet the portions were small enough that you could order multiple things off the menu. We took the waiter's recommendation and ordered the steak and orzo. Ireland has some of the best beef. Can never go wrong with a steak. read more

This was an incredible dining experience. Certainly Michelin worthy. We made a reservation online and were seated right away for dinner. They are very popular and reservation only so plan ahead. We tried the scallops for appetizer and I have to say they were the best scallops I have ever had. Beautiful plating and delicious sauces and garnishes. It was a very unique and refreshing way of preparing scallops. My husband doesn't like seafood typically but we were fighting over this dish. For entree my husband got steak with a side of cauliflower and I got the halibut. Everything was delicious. Service was perfect. We had drinks and water instantly replenished and plates cleared promptly. It was a very memorable dinner experience for our ten year anniversary, thank you! read more

Set in the heart of the city, Pichet leans heavily into its Michelin Bib Gourmand rating. Although physically in Dublin, everything about the place screams French bistro: the decor and ambience, the limited but tasteful cocktail menu and of course the menu offerings. One might easily find Pichet in Lyon or St. Étienne. And for the most part, it is a very well thought out menu. There is a variety of first course options, including several haute cuisine, old school dishes (e.g. beef tartare or roasted scallops). Some equally traditional mains appear (Barbary duck, roasted hake, lamb loin). They even offer a posset for dessert, something I have not seen in a restaurant of any quality for a long time. And in general, the food is very good. The ingredients are clearly well-sourced and the meals attractively plated. The serving sizes are just about right--not too minimal and not too much. Generally speaking, they do red meats slightly better than fish and fowl, but all are estimably edible. The wine list, while not huge, is also well-balanced, and they offer about 20 reds and whites by the glass. It leans heavily to France and Italy (as might be expected), but a variety of European, American and African vintages appear as well (Australasia is missing apart from one Marlborough). I was particularly heartened to see Napa Valley's Grgich Hills on the list. The only real negative came in the spacing between courses. It may be coincidence, but there seems to be a tendency in Irish eateries to serve appetizers fairly quickly, followed by a considerable lag time until the main course is served. In the case of our meal, it was over 45 minutes--long enough for me to inquire about the wait. That hiccough apart, our party was quite pleased with all our meals. It is perhaps slightly ironic that Pichet probably caters to visitors--indeed, it is in the heart of Dublin's most touristy center. In spite of that, the owners have not chosen to phone it in and have offered a genuine bistro experience at fairly reasonable prices. Recommended. read more

Delectable French bistro located near the heart of the city that's just far enough away from the crowds that you feel like you get some peace and quiet. Started with the Chablis that was refreshingly buttery and paired perfectly with all of the bites to come. Bread brought to the table reminded me of a milk bread challah and was exquisite. Appetizer was the hot smoked salmon with a fried hen egg - think NY lox meets avant garde michellin dining. For the main course the agnolotti and cauliflower were both ridiculously good. Definitely worthy of all the accolades they've received. Portions were large and satiating. Only knock I'd have is you may wait a while for food, but that's part of the experience at a bistro like this! read more

This was our best meal in Dublin. We were able to get an early reservation through an app. Everything we had was delicious but the stand outs were the short ribs with raviolis (pillows of cheesy amazingness) and the risotto. It had a good wine list and excellent service. The only shortfall was that we had to leave because of the next seating. We could have continued eating, drinking, and chatting. Well worth the price. read more

I feel Pichet was the pinnacle of fine dining in Dublin. From the first moment we stepped in, I had a good feeling. The decor and vibe of the place almost made it seem like we weren't in Dublin anymore. It wasn't super gaudy but it still had this perfect balance of royalty and homeyness. When we ate dinner this night I'm pretty sure we walked to the restaurant so I'm not sure of the parking situation. I don't think theres street parking since its in a part of the Temple Bar area thats really just meant to walk to. I definitely would check for the nearest parking garage. As for our meal, we started off with some cocktails. I got the Rum Punch to start and I really enjoyed it. It wasn't a super burst of fruit like I am used to. I tasted the rum but also got those pineapple and passionfruit flavors on the end. It also had more frothiness to it than the cocktail normally has due to the egg white which was fun. That's why I love sours after all. For food they had a Tomahawk Steak special for 2. Now let me first say, if you see this as a special and you haven't tried it, I highly recommend you do. This was easily one of my favorite meals on my Ireland trip. The steak was amazing just on it's own but the the 3 sauces it came with was icing on the cake. My favorite one was the peppercorn sauce. It was so rich, and peppery but it also was a little thick like a gravy. It's something that you don't really see on a menu from where I live in California. Most you would have is an Au Jus with some horseradish sauce for a Prime Rib. Most other steaks you eat alone unless it comes with wine reduction of some sort. So it was extremely fun to try something new and fall in love with it. Literally everything we had was good. I hate corn and I actually liked the corn soup. Like...how is this possible man? Oh. We also did order wine with our meal but I couldn't remember if I tried. It was that good...What we did was just have our server recommended one and that's what I would recommend for you too. The people working here aren't just a friendly face. They are very knowledgeable on food so if you run into any crossroads definitely pick their brain. But man that peppercorn sauce...No other sauce came close to the one I had at Pichet. I want to try and perfect this at home now... read more

Got very lucky with a walk in here. 2020 michelin star restaurant in the city center. The staff were all friendly and very helpful. Open kitchen concept near the dining area. The short rib starter was absolutely amazing. Wish we just ordered multiple dishes of this for our main meal! Comes with these creamy pasta shells. A la Lamb dish came with an interesting compressed layered potato, artichoke, and some other ingredients that I probably can't pronounce. The sides were amazing. Triple fried potato cakes and the best broccoli I've ever had. Don't forget dessert, the key lime pie blew our minds. Book a reservation here when you're in Dublin! read more

I had a lamb dish with warm goat, cheese, and asparagus. The lamb was cooked to perfection was still pink inside. It was so tender! It was cut into four pieces and each pieces actually had a slightly different texture. The goat cheese was incredible with this dish. It was basically melted. The bread was light and bouncy. Yum! Ambiance is dim lit and perfect for date night. I was able to walk in on a Thursday and snag the last table available, so I recommend making a reservation in advance. My server was sweet and friendly and even the bartenders checked in to ask how my experience was. I wish I had room in my belly to try starters and dessert. Next time! Definitely worth if the Michelin bib. read more

I'm so thankful for recommendations from those that serve the hospitality industry. This place has the ambiance, good food, and perfect service (you'll never have to ask for anything).

I've been to Ireland about 5 times now and every time I visit this restaurant is always my first choice. I've been to many restaurants in Ireland and this is by far my favorite. The service is absolutely phenomenal, shout out to Dominic for always taking care of us. One thing I love about this restaurant is, they're always switching up the specials. We've had many things from monkfish, tomahawk steak, venison, pork shoulder and many more. The chef is always great at every meal, and they get fresh cuts of meat or seafood in all the time. Nothing is ever frozen and prepared fresh daily. Pichet it's a little bit more on the pricey side, but it's worth every penny, or if you're going to celebrate. I do recommend at least getting an appetizer or two, a main dish, side, and dessert. Lastly, you will have to make a reservation a couple weeks in advance because they do book up. This restaurant will not disappoint you, I've added pictures from our visits on multiple occasions read more

My friend and I had a great time at Pichet. I must admit I was a bit skeptical while looking at their posted menu, because I am not only vegetarian but also gluten intolerant. Usually this means that my options are very limited, but after talking with the maitre d we were assured that accommodations could be made. Ante was our waiter that day, and he was wonderful with his recommendations and service. Our drinks were amazing as well and came very quickly after we ordered. As a gluten intolerant vegetarian I was able to have: -Gordal olives marinated in orange -Mushroom risotto -Butternut squash soup with gluten free bread -Cauliflower with miso butter (phenomenal, highly recommend) -Berry sorbet read more

I would give this place 6 stars. Our server Andree? Was awesome. Service spectacular. Started out with the olives, which were amazing. Wife had the fish and I had the Lamb Chops. Wife said it was the best fish we had on our 10 day trip. My Lamb was perfectly cooked.The roasted cauliflower was the BEST we have ever had in our life. They could make a completely new restaurant that only served that and it would be a hit. Roasted with some light sauce and hazelnuts!! It was insane. Never had anything close to that good. Had a Bordeaux and it was decanted and had great Reidel glasses.Prices were reasonable for an older Bordeaux. They even had Ridge Zinfandel there (our favorite). Did I mention the service was awesome. Great to go to a real Michelin star restaurant and it exceeded our expectations. The service was just simply awesome. You could tell he loved his job and the people he was serving. We did not feel rushed at all. This restaurant was easily on of the finest restaurants in all of Dublin. We walked by near lunch and when I walked in the manager was there, he was so nice and took our reservations. I hear it is hard to get into too. Could not have been better. We will be back. read more

Dublin is a very international city and so there is no shortage of food. I had walked by Pichet multiple times before deciding to dine-in as I was in search for dinner. There are days where I just simply cannot decide on what to eat, and every restaurant I had walked by advertised their pre-fix options. I was hungry and tired of walking, and best part was that my hotel was only a ten minute away, and so Pichet it was. I was greeted by a friendly host as I entered the restaurant and was asked if I have a reservation. I asked if I was able to dine-in, and was seated shortly after confirming with the manager that a table was available. The manager was gracious by allowing me to dine-in with a one hour and thirty minute window, which was more than enough time for me to grab a quick dinner. I loved the clean, modern, warm, and elegant interior. A friendly waiter assisted with taking my order and I decided on their two course pre-fix special. 1) Salad of golden beets, figs and burratta; this was absolutely delicious and all of the ingredients paired so well each other. Honestly I would have been happy with two more dishes of the same salad and call it a night. 2) Short Rib; I loved the tender melt in your mouth beef short rib, horseradish croquette was something I have not had and enjoyed, and the sauce brimming with umami made the dish absolutely amazing. 3) Broccoli; this was technically a side on its own cooked in butter, garlic and topped with crushed almonds. I love broccoli and this was a perfect vegetable dish to accompany my meat dish. I do not regret having my last meal in Dublin at Pichet and will definitely dine here again in the future. read more

It was my best meal in Dublin. Started off with a few appetizers and they were pretty good. They had a special with mushrooms on top of some type of bread and it was excellent. Had roasted cauliflower with nuts on it as a side and I thought it was prepared excellent. I had gnocchi which was very good. Pillowy and a little crispy on the outside. Definitely recommend. Wife had some lamb which was ridiculous. Service was very good. Ambience was a little loud due to a table nearby. It is not a very big place. read more

French restaurant hidden near Trinity College should be added to your next Ireland visit. Open kitchen layout and close seating makes this place so peaceful and upscale. Immediate welcomes and greeting from staff upon entry when we walked in during our Hop on Hop off tour of Dublin. We felt underdressed at first but realized the environment was welcoming regardless. We had just missed the lunch special deal (3 courses for €28) so we went for traditional dishes. We ordered the chef special, Lamb Cutlets which was cooked to a perfect medium and so tender and flavorful. We definitely ate them to the bone. We also ordered the pork belly with charred cabbage. I've never had a pork belly until Pichet and WOW. The meat was succulent and the fat from the belly just melts in your mouth like a sweet caramel. The cabbage was a great texture and compliment to the meal. When we left, everyone gave a pleasant farewell and thanked us for dining in. That was so sweet because although we had one server, they all stopped to thank us when we left. Our bill was steep but well worth it's money for the decadent and style of cooking. read more
