Definately deserves a ranking- restaurant patrick guilbaud- is all that its website says..........................."combining contemporary elegance with an intimate ambience and unparalleled service." Patrick Guilbaud’s family is from Cognac but, after a brief stint in England he moved to Ireland to open his own restaurant...in the process...obtaining a few Michelin stars.
The food was exquisite....
The wine list not so....well at least- not from the point of view of its size....all too hard so we asked the sommelier to pair our food up as we went- which was wonderful!! Extremely generous servings of the plonk with some very unusual choices- in fact we asked for two labels from an unusual white and red wine that we tried as both were lovely.
We were in the mood to relax and chat rather than pore over the exhaustive food and wine menu so we went for a "chef's surprise." After finding out what we liked or disliked the chef went to work serving us up a 5 course little treat....
which amazingly even saw me eating...and loving..fish- cod!
Fantastic. Service was great, food was truly amazing, wine pairing was interesting and a revelation. The bill...well circa 450 euros for 3 of us which given the gluttony at the table I felt was good value
Wow 1000 places, I see u get the best of everything, enjoy every minute of it!
