Top Best French Restaurants in Naas

"There’s a reason The Greenhouse snagged a Michelin star just a few years after it opened. The restaurant is a veritable showcase for Ireland's best produce, all prepared and plated with delicate, stylish panache. The menu changes continuously; in spring, plump lamb is paired with punchy wild garlic, and in fall, Sika deer complements blackberries and earthy wild mushrooms."

"It snagged a Michelin star just three years after it opened, and the Greenhouse is still one of the hottest spots in town. It’s at the pricier end of things, but the lunch menu offers the best value at €45 for two courses. It’s smack bang in the middle of town, and the food is delicate and beautifully presented, while packing a major punch in the flavour department."

"Located in a period property in the heart of Georgian Dublin, Dax Restaurant exudes French style, professional service and exemplary cuisine. One of Dublin’s finest dining experiences, the menus are seasonal and the wine list runs from house to rare vintage Grand Crus."

"An elegant French restaurant nestled in the trendiest area of Dublin’s city centre, La Maison will make you feel like you’re in Paris with the vintage French posters and a beautiful heated outdoor seating area. For a romantic experience, share their signature dish - ‘la côte de Boeuf’ (Rib of Irish beef) for two people, served with chunky chips and green salad. The ultimate romantic dessert in La Maison is the ‘tarte tartin’ (caramelised apple tart), which is also made to share between two people..."

"This dining room inspired by an old European architectural style makes visitors feel like they have just stepped back in time, and the classic French dishes perfect the atmosphere. The restaurant is elegant and peaceful, with fantastic Parisian artwork lining the walls. La Maison is the latest of Breton chef Olivier Quenet’s famous restaurants, serving a selection of French dishes such as huitre(oysters), traditionnel Coq au vin and Filet de Chevreuil (Venison fillet)."

"Located at Castle Market across from Grogan's, you've probably walked past it a billion times and not even realised that inside is the best paté you'll ever taste outside of France."

"Our Christmas🎄Lunch and Group Dinner menu: #PearlBrasserie #FineDining #Restaurant #MerrionStreetUpper #Dublin. A post shared by Pearl Brasserie (@pearlbrasserie) on Dec 22, 2018 at 4:48am PST. One of Dublin’s top-rated restaurants, Pearl Brasserie will ensure you a magical night with your romantic interest."

"What’s more romantic than a single table for two in a wine cellar?. Take your seat in their intimate wine cellar or have a cosy meal by their fireplace. Either way, you’re sure to wow your date with their innovative cuisine and romantic setting."

"You can sit outside nursing a glass of wine in the sun and watching the hustle and bustle of Fade Street or tuck yourself away from the madness inside. The venue is huge with a homely, rustic feel to it - tables are lit by candle and 70s music played across the room. The food is surprisingly good, all with a French twist so if you're a fan of foie gras and onion soup this is the place for you."

"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."

"Housed in what looks like an old-fashioned butcher’s window, L’Gueuleton has the feel of up-style, comfortable French dining. With red brick walls, blackboard menus and dark, wooden furniture, there is a romantic atmosphere. The building and atmosphere exude rustic charm with industrial beams and copper ceiling."

"Those who are fans of fine dining will delight at the mouthwatering French cuisine on offer in this Monkstown restaurant. Sip on a glass of wine while enjoying food prepared by their executive chef. They offer a three-course set menu, which can be paired perfectly with some cocktails or a bottle of wine."

"Bresson brings relaxed fine dining to Monkstown and South County Dublin in a casual, comfortable and friendly ambience. The restaurant is named after photographer Henri Cartier Bresson, who shook up the formality of classical photography with spontaneity and casual brilliance. Executive Chef Temple..."

"Monkstown is a real treasure trove of restaurants, while Seapoint is a great little spot with a delicious kids' menu. There's a great booth for larger groups that allows you to trap the kids away from harm or mischief."

"Plumping for a distinctly ‘more is more’ approached, this nick knack filled basement space is home to over 350 wines (with 40 of them available by the glass) and serves up a classic menu of French favourites. Moules, pates, escargot and more grace the starters section while mains are split into light meals – with the likes of cheese, charcuterie or seafood platters – and main courses which hero signature serves like duck confit or lamb Bordelaise. This is some seriously robust cooking."

"A real contender for Dublin's most romantic restaurant, La Cave is a top ideal choice for couples who love wine, French cuisine and quirky interiors. Against a backdrop of crimson, you and your date will be able to choose from over 350 bottles, which will perfectly compliment the food."

"La Cave Wine Bar is undoubtedly one of Dublin's quirkiest places to eat and drink in the city centre. Housing a wide range of bottles from across the globe, it perfectly pairs its signature sips with French-inspired cuisine befitting its vintage pink and red interiors."

"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"

"Great value French cuisine has made this restaurant one of Dublin's most popular. Le Bon Crubeen is open every day for lunch & dinner and is known for its combination of high quality food with a sophisticated ambience."

"This classic French-style bistro in the heart of Dublin serves a multi-course lunch and theatre menu making it great for groups. While I sat in the dining room the front area with the bar is really lovely and great if you’re looking for a quiet lunch. The menu includes local products such as these gorgeous Roaring Water Bay scallops with nduja, sweet corn and sour dough bread."

"This ultra-chic Temple Bar bistro has been recognised by the Michelin Guide for their innovative fusion of Irish and French cuisines. Acclaimed chef Stephen Gibson spent a decade working all over the world, culminating in Pichet's exciting à la carte menu that simply must be tasted."

"You'll find locally-inspired dishes with a French twist at this Trinity Street spot. The menus are changed regularly but you'll always find something to tickle your taste buds. A great option if you've got something to celebrate."

"This Arts Centre in Dundrum has a range of events and programmes, but in particular they have a great programme for children. In July they also run performance summer camps."

"The last item on our list is undoubtedly one of the finest examples of modern architecture in the city. The Bord Gáis Energy Theatre was designed by Polish-American architect Daniel Libeskind in 2010, and its contemporary, angular style ties in perfectly with its home in the ultra modern Grand Canal area. The design ties into its theatrical theme with a striking composition of a ‘red carpet’ with bright resin-glass paving extending from the theatre, covered with distinctive red glowing angled light sticks."

"Designed by Studio Libeskind in 2010, the Grand Canal Square formed an important milestone for the redevelopment of the Dublin Docklands area. The 2000-seat theater is based on the concept of stages: the stage of the theater, the stage of the piazza, the stage of the multiple lever lobby above the piazza."

"Technically, it's little bit outside of Dublin's official boundaries, but close enough for a weekend visit, and super easy to access via the Dart. Loads of different sea life for children to see; including sea horses, black tip sharks and leopard sharks. For any kids tiring of the zoo, this will be really exciting for them as they can get involved with feeding times and engage with the interactive rock pool."

"With over 30 displays and 1000 creatures Sea Life is always popular with the kids and adults alike. The aquarium contains Ireland’s largest collection of sharks as well as other tropical fish, octopus and fish found in Ireland’s lakes, rivers and seas. Feedings and talks take place at Sea Life throughout the day."

"Sea Life in Bray is a really fun day out and definitely worth a visit. Get up close with over 1,000 amazing sea creatures and let your little ones discover something fascinating. Make the most of your visit by attending some of their talks and feeding demonstrations which are held throughout the day."

"One of the city’s most rewarding walks is the 800-meter stroll along the Great South Wall to the Poolbeg Lighthouse, that red tower visible in the middle of Dublin Bay. It’s best enjoyed around sunset on a clear day, when you’ll have a stunning view of the bay and the city behind you."

"The Great South Wall is one of Dublin’s most gorgeous coastal walks, the trail leads all the way out to Poolbeg Light House. This is a fantastic walk in the evening time as it is a great place to catch the sunset. It takes about 20 minutes to reach the lighthouse from the car park."

"Poolbeg Lighthouse is also one of the most Instagrammable places in Dublin. The lighthouse is an aid to navigation. It's a very photogenic place because of the beautiful red color."

"As you watch the assorted groups of friends, lovers and individuals splaying themselves across the nine elegantly landscaped hectares of Dublin's most popular green lung, St Stephen's Green, consider that those same hectares once formed a common for public whippings, burnings and hangings. These days, the harshest treatment you'll get is the warden chucking you off the grass for playing football or Frisbee."

"Once a marshy common grazing area, St. Stephen’s Green is one of the Dublin’s most popular green spaces and a nice place to take a short break from sightseeing. It includes trees, a lake, a playground, a number of labeled plants (including some in Braille), fountains, statues, and memorials. This city center park is located just across from the Little Dublin Museum."

"Chances are, most of the pictures you’ve seen of the River Liffey were taken from the Ha’penny Bridge, an elliptical arch bridge that stretches almost 150 feet across and one of the most photographed bridges in the city. Connecting the northside and the southside of Dublin city, the first ever pedestrian bridge in Dublin has been in operation since 1816. For the first hundred years of its life, foot passengers were required to pay a toll of half a penny to cross – hence its nickname which endures to this very day."

"I am always in two minds about Ha'penny Bridge, spanning the Liffey between Temple Bar and "de Nordsoide" - on a good day it is a quaint Victorian construction worth a photo. On a bad day, it is a crowded haunt of beggars and tourists best avoided. But no other Liffey bridge is "more Dublin" than the Ha'penny Bridge."

"A historical part of Dublin’s city, and one that we love to cross. It’s stretched over the waters since May 1816. Looking out to the river Liffey as the sun clocks out of another shift is just a dream for all the hopeless romantics out there."

"Drimnagh Castle is one of the few medieval castles that is still standing in Dublin. The structure dates back to the 12th century and was originally built by the Barnewell family, who arrived in Ireland with Strongbow. The Norman castle can be found in the suburb of Drimnagh, and it is worth the trip to the south side to see the pretty stone castle—which happens to be the only castle in Ireland with a moat."

"Drimnagh Castle is the only moated castle in Ireland and boasts over 700 years of history. It fell into disuse and disrepair in the 1960s only to be rediscovered thirty years later, and from then on the restoration of this hidden gem began. The castle has been open to the public since 1996 and has been offering guided tours since."

"Did you know that Drimnagh Castle is the only castle in Ireland that still has a floating moat around it. It has been used as a Christian Brother's School and a GAA club and there's no prizes for guessing why it's a popular spot for weddings and other events."

"While you’ll have to plan your tour around when the Dail and Seanad are not in session, it’s well worth taking a trip over to Leinster House, one of Dublin’s most historic buildings, before departing from Merrion Square. While it’s the current seat of the Oireachtas, the Irish national parliament, the building with its two facades was originally built as the Dublin city residence of the Duke of Leinster in 1745 and is reputed to be modelled on the White House in Washington, DC. Tours of Leinster House have to be pre-arranged in advance and usually at their busiest in the afternoon so try to book one in the morning for a chance at a smaller group if you would like more opportunities to ask your burning history questions."

"This building once served as the home of James Fitzgerald, the Duke of Leinster and Earl of Kildare. Today, it serves as the home of Ireland’s parliament. Public tours of the building are available when the Dáil and Seanad are not in session."
