Make a Date
Unlike many of its competitors, L’Gueuleton isn’t doing crunch lunches or deals to lure in cash-strapped diners. The reason is simple, says manager Laura Kent: “We’ve always kept our prices as low as possible, so we don’t have to bring in the special offers now.” Value aside, there’s plenty to entice in Dublin’s best date restaurant. The Toulouse sausage is still the most famous dish on the dinner menu (€18.50) and rightly so: it’s a herby, meaty delight, served with creamy sliced potatoes. They don’t take reservations, which is a mixed blessing: it makes it hard to plan a night out, but it’s most democratic. An excellent weekend brunch is to be had in the Secret Bar upstairs too.

Simple ingredients and tasty food. Wine list is great and the dining experience transports you to a little restaurant in Paris. Excellent waiting staff.

My fench speaking Aunty assures me it means the Mouthful.
Really excellent food.
It has crept up in price. The staff are unfortunately up their own jacksy.
The waiters eyeballing said that I was lucky to be there.
Great food, pity about the 'tude.

It's a very nice room to eat in. I've always found the staff very good, friendly and efficient. I haven't experienced the attitude mentioned above. If you haven't been there in a while, I recommend going back and try the suckling pig (fairly new to the menu). It's just delicious! I think Warren Massey is doing a great job as head chef and I always enjoy the atmosphere.

Really great food spoiled by appalling service. The food in a P.O.W. camp would be served with more hospitality. Condescending disposition and hopelessly inattentive waitress. A shame that what should be a great ambassador of modern Irish restaurants is let down so badly by it's attitude to paying punters. In future will cross the road and grab a pint and some tapas
