The only two-star Michelin
restaurant in all of Ireland,
Patrick Guilbaud generates
high
expectations
before
diners have even lifted their
cutlery. It doesn’t disappoint
either, delivering the sort of
heightened culinary experience
that’s synonymous with a brace
of Michelin stars. Situated in
the luxurious surroundings
of Dublin’s five-star Merrion
Hotel, the acclaimed restaurant
has been producing mouth-
watering dishes for over three
decades. While its cuisine
can best be described as
contemporary
Irish
with
classical roots, a cursory
glance at the menu reveals the
extent of the chefs’ creativity;
pigeon-holing this restaurant
proves impossible. The food
itself reflects the restaurant’s
commitment
to
sourcing
produce from the very best
farmers, growers and fishermen
in the land. The service,
meanwhile, is impeccable,
fusing French decorum with
quintessential Irish charm.
While dining in the magnificent
restaurant promises to be
memorable, a private dining
room situated in the Georgian
wing is available for those extra
special occasions. Home to a
splendid collection of Roderic
O’Conor paintings, it forms an
immaculate space in which to
celebrate. Whether dining here
or in the main restaurant, expect
nothing less than perfection
from Patrick Guilbaud.
