Guilbaud still sets the standard in Dublin. Whilst the special lunch menu is reasonably priced it is quite restrictive. If you can push the boat out you can eat of the main menu for 110 euro for three course which is quite a lot but really worth it. The wine list is wide ranging with some good value wines. 2... More

Thank you restaurant PG for a wonderful 40th birthday Lunch for my lovely husband. As we had two children and a baby under the age of five, it would have been awkward in the main dining room so we booked the private room at the front. Let me say, we were treated like royalty. 10 adults and three children in... More

We visited here as part of a commitment to ourselves that life is just too short not to do what we love- which is Eat Well. The whole experience was excellent, the staff friendly, and attentive, without being in the least bit snobby. The whole experience is very French, which we love. We had the 8 course Degustation menu, and... More

A 2 star Michelin should ooze with the 'wow' factor. The courses were all fairly perfect examples of french haute cuisine, but few had this star appeal. It is also very expensive! More

There really is very little to say about our experience yesterday. Its so good that you just have to sit back, marvel and enjoy the experience and allow the staff do their 'stuff' - just like we did. Lunch for two with a nice bottle of Sancerre and two bottles of water cost €165 - great value. We'll be back! More

I visited this restaurant for the first time earlier this year. As noted by other reviewers this is an event, a night out not simply a meal. We were booked for 7.30pm and arrived slightly early and had an apertif in the waiting area where we considered the menu and the HUGE wine list, which is more akin to an... More

Love it here, have been about a dozen times now, and the only complaint I could ever possibly raise is that once my partners dish was a bit cold. Portions are small but if you have 3 courses you leave full. Great value, have noticed recently that the menu doesn't change as much as it did, but the food is... More

When considering Guilbauds for an occasion or just an experience. Just remember that that is what it is, an experience, not just eating out. The ambience, the staff and the food and beverage all flawless. WOW More

We had the tasting menu for lunch, which was excellent and good value. The food was superb with the cooking displaying confidence and competence. The atmosphere mid-week was formal - most lunchers were business people - and our only criticism would be that the service personnel are very evident: you are aware of their presence as they stand on the...

We had the four course dinner and it was amazing. Nice to have a slow pace meal and 5 waiters waiting on you. Be prepared to spend around$300 or more on dinner for two. Well worth it. Great dinner, great service. More
