Patrick Guilbaud - Dublin

Had this on my list for a long time and had heard mixed things but was keen to see for myself. Went for lunchtime tasting menu. Very conscious of the price point and stsndard expected so i dont feel bad being harsh. Of immediate note was the amateurish service from beginning to end. Did not feel polished or attentive, certainly not what one would expect from a 2 star. This was honestly the worst part of the experience. Things like not delivering plates at same time, not explaining the course, appearing rushed or dis interested. The room itself was dated and uninviting. Felt like any generic hotel restaurant with tables crammed in. Again comparing to chapter one I was very aware of other tables and not focused on our own. Food was what I 'd call standard tasting menu fair, and exactly what I 'd expect. Good overall but not Wow, which at that price point is what is expected. Fois grais course was the highlight. Overall the experience was fine, but I would not recommend or go back. At that price point the experience was very disappointing. The gold standard in Dublin is the likes of chapter one, and Guilbaud just felt like an inferior experience in comparison. Staff and crowded dining room being the big disappointments

Fantastic food, impeccable service, elegant ambiance. Highly recommended.

Fabulous as ever! Phenomenal food, attentive , friendly Staff, wonderful , understated elegance . Always an unforgettable experience .

Wonderful dining experience. It's like attending a performance of culinary artistry. Each dish is a delight and between each course there's a little taster or something to clear the palette. Obviously it's pricey but it such a treat for a rare special occasion. The service was also excellent and very friendly too.

Each year my snr staff and I from the Chefs Table in Bristol go on a day out to eat in the best of the best fine dining restaurants. This place will not disappoint. Modern interior but at the same time keeping classic French values. We opted for the surprise tasting menu and it did not disappoint, every dish was tremendous. The service was excellent, I really can not recommend this place more. If you are going to Dublin and you like fine dining with classic French food then this place is for you. One of our best outings for long time.
