Cheers Dudara.

Did'nt know Guilbauds was two star...I remember looking at the menu and thinking it was very pricey....60 euro for a Dublin bay prawn starter (even with the Tobiko thats expensive).


Did Bon Appetit only get its star recently? Anybody tried it?

Guillbaud's does a 3 course lunch for 50 euro a head if i'm not mistaken, always wanted to try it.

Yeah that seems good value (I'd love to try it myself) but it does look pretty uninspired compared to the other menu's.

Mint and Bon Appetit both got their stars recently. Just over a year ago if I remember right.

Had the lunch here about 3 weeks ago. Was unimpressed. I've been for dinner before, and had a great meal. But the service this time just wasn't up to par, and the food was just a little short of good. I've heard a few reports of the same. From what it seems they are getting cocky and cheeky. I could not recommend it. I much prefer Chapter One.

I had the lunch in Guilbaud's about a month ago. Don't bother. It's far too expensive for what you get and the food is uninspiring. Chapter One is a much nicer restaurant and better value.
One Pico, just off Molesworth St, has some of the best value in Dublin, though. €20 for a 3-course lunch and €25 for a 2 course early bird (Mon-Wed). Food and service is outstanding - it doesn't have a Michelin Star but I found it better than Guilbaud's in these departments.

Is this all of them in Ireland?

Mr Magnolia

Yes, afaik.

I was in Guillbaud's a while back (last July I think)
Having been to some superb michelin star restaurants in France and Spain, I was expecting the same quality.
It's a stylish restaurant, has the feel of a michelin star, but the food was nothing special for the standard expected when you go to a restaurant with a star.
Also, very expensive.

I was in L'Ecrivain St. Patricks weekend. It's as good as you'll get in Dublin. Prices for all ranges, wonderful atmosphere, staff were lovely.
Tasting menu is by request. To die for!
I'd highly recommend them.

Both Guilbauds and L'Ecrivain have gone downhill in the last 18 months I think, portions in L'Ecrivain just got ridiculously small, food was still good but you'd be still feeling a bit peckish after three courses which is just ridiculous. To be honest I'd prefer the rib eye steak in Town Bar and Grill to nearly every place outlined above. +1 for One Pico by the way, have enjoyed it each time I was there. His bleu restaurant on Dawson Street is another matter altogether... Pearl Brassserie is also good but the extras add up.

Had the lunch in L'ecrivian a couple of weeks back.

The portions were very small but for a three course lunch of that quality for €25 you cant complain.....it really was outstanding as well.

As I said Ive never been to Guilbauds but the prices do look a bit silly. Your paying the same as you would pay in some of the best three star restaurants in the world. The tasting menu in the fat duck is similarly priced.

Just back from L'Ecrivain for the lunch - tremendous all round, and portions were great, was satisfyingly full after the meal. Oh, and the place was packed as well - understandable given how high quality all the food was.

Mint closed down months ago.

Bet none are as nice as Glyn Purnell's in Birmingham and you would probably fly there, have dinner and stay in a hotel for the same price of those Dublin restaurants.

In Chapter One two weeks ago and although scrum, there were no surprises, no treats and portions were tight.

CLiff house hotel in Ardmore is a michelin star waiting to happen. There on Sunday night - emmense. Check the website and the pics..wow

Hi Everyone! Sorry to resurrect this thread! Trying to decide on a dinner for that special someone. Torn between L'ecrivian, Thortons and Chapter One. Thoughts? I like the look of Chapter One.....

Thanks

Mr Magnolia

Chapter One for me.

dudara

I visited Chapter One recently for a special reason - it was excellent. Superb service, lovely table and great food. Well worth it.

quazzy

Agree with the previos posts - Chapter One is excellent.

Was there about a month ago and it was every bit as good as I remember.

I had the Pre-Theatre on my first trip but this time I went for the recenlty introduced 4 course menu

Was also at Thornton's for a Masterclass (with Lunch included) and that was excellent also. More expensive then Chapter One.

Pichet just off College Green is an amazing restaurant. It has the Bib Gourmand and doesn't try to overdo it. Went there for lunch recently, cost around 70 euro for 2 people, one A La Carte and one Set Menu which is 25 euro for 3 courses..

Staff are great and so helpful. We even had the pleasure to see Nick Munier but the Maitre D had to be the best.

Would highly recommend this place, the food was fantastic and the portions were by no means "Nouvelle Cuisine". Having only visited for lunch, I hope to go for Dinner soon!

Chapter One over L'ecrivian and Thorntons for me, not by a mile of course. Great place, stunning food, good service, creative menu. I've never gone ala carte in Chapter One, but I've had the pre-theatre a good few times and really really enjoyed it.

Chapter One over Thorntons for me. Never been to L'ecrivain unfortunately. And if you ever get the the chance to go to Guilbauds.... unforgettably fab.

I wrote about my trip to Chapter One today - link. Revisting the experience made me realise how much better it was than trips to other equally-rated restaurants.

I know the post is about Dublin, but just back from the Cliff house hotel in waterford OMG Guilbauds has nothing on it.

I also recently visited Chapter One. I'm no expert on dining out but I've only ever heard or read good things about Chapter One so I was really looking forward to it. On the whole I really enjoyed myself but there are a few issues I would welcome peoples comments on. Firstly, the portions were very small and secondly the cutlery was chipped. Also I was curious as to the absence of any music.

Small portions - I found mysefl stuffed after 4 courses. Individually they weren't huge, but taken together, it was more than enough.

Chipped cutlery - Didn't notice any myself

Lack of music - it was a blessed relief to be somewhere without music.

we went to chapter one a few months ago - before they changed the format of the menu.

Our menu was

Feta cheese mousse, organic beetroot essence, pear puree, spiced apple and pumpkin oil
*****
Cured organic seatrout, leek and mandarin vinaigrette with cold pressed rapeseed oil, roast hazelnuts
*****
Terrine of foie gras, madeira and duck jelly, icewine verjus, smoked cured venison, apple and watercress salad
*****
Hand dived scallops, pomme mousseline, new season garlic and spring onion veloute, Ferguson’s smoked bacon
*****
Rabbit loin wrapped in pancetta with a veal farce, carrot and black cumin puree, rabbit shepherd’s pie, madeira and roast shallot jus
*****
Warm chocolate mousse, caramel jelly, espresso mousse, lime ice cream and honeycomb
Chocolate souffle, mandarin ice-cream
*****
Tea/Coffee & Petit Fours

It was 75e per person, and I thought it was amazing, as did my wife.

The service was excellent, and the food first class.

We arrived for dinner at 8, and it was nearly 11.30 by the time we left.
We weren't rushed or left waiting at any point.

The desert - the chocolate souffle - was worth the trip alone!

I also had the wine tasting menu - and the staff were very well informed on the wines and the meal itself.

Top marks for a great meal!

I love Chapter Ones, and think it's the best restaurant in the country (though I've yet to try the new guard - Cliff house/Gregan's Castle/Brown Bear). I've never been disappointed with it - and it's pretty much the only place in Ireland I feel safe spending the amount of money these restaurants charge.

I'm going this Saturday, and I can't wait!

4 course and then Petit fours with Tea / coffee = struggle. But one which I relish.

Chipped Cutlery??? Perhaps the poster means crockery. Cutlery = knifes + forks etc...
Crockery = plates and bowls etc...

Lack of music aint a big issue really. Visits to this place are usually special occassions so its nice to not have to strain to hear your OH.
