And when I asked him where he ate in his spare time he admitted he had little but enjoyed the ribeye steak at L’Gueleton French bistro. I decided that would be my last stop but I made the mistake of having the braised venison instead as I adore venison."

"This French bistro style restaurant is Dublin’s trendiest brunch spot. L’gueuleton’s outdoor seating is covered by traditional stiped awning and spills out onto the newly pedestrianized Fade street. Try one of their famous cocktails (they do a mean espresso martini) and load up on their potato hash or moules frites."

"The decor in here is so warm and welcoming, the food is top notch, and they do a French brunch at weekends - really tasty!"

"Fear not – follow in the footsteps of a generation of similarly deprived Dubliners. La Cave has become something of a much-frequented city institution, offering copious lists of vintages and serving until 2am. It's a subterranean refuge from the world: steep rickety stairs descend into a red-walled little room, plush and dim, glinting with bottles and polished glasses."

"For hearty portions and low prices, you can’t beat this casual restaurant which specialises in big, bold French flavours (although it must be noted that this is a less authentic French experience when compared to other options our list). Le Bon Crubeen has the added benefit of being close to the Abbey Theatre, so makes the perfect pre-show spot to enjoy a bite to eat. While the atmosphere might be casual, that doesn’t mean there isn’t finesse here."

"Le Bon Crubeen on Talbot Street has one of the best-value menus in Dublin, considering the incredible standard of their food. Nicely decorated, we would definitely recommend this place to anyone who appreciates good food. REVIEW: An Anti-Trendy Haven Where The Plates Are Big And The Prices Are Small"
