The restaurant is a bright and airy space above the French Paradox wine shop, is more of a fine dining experience. The set menu, for dinner only, includes bread and butter, snacks, starters, a choice of two main courses, dessert and an optional additional cheese course. Optional wine pairing is lovely.
“Modern Irish” with an emphasis on “high-quality produce coming from great Irish producers/suppliers” is how it's described by the chef, with two sittings, at 6pm and 8.30pm

Neighbourhoods
Ballsbridge is a lively South Central village where embassies and offices sit alongside upscale boutiques and bistros. On Baggot Street, buzzing pubs host live bands and fill up with fans when there’s rugby, soccer, or a big concert at nearby Aviva Stadium. The RDS Arena also holds major sporting and music events. Leafy paths line the River Dodder, and there’s a trail of native trees through Herbert Park.
