It is difficult to define exactly what l’Gueuleton means but the words ‘feast’, ‘food’, ‘family’, ‘friends’ and of course ‘wine’ help us to understand a concept that is inherently French. Since 2004 l’Gueuleton has served French Bistro cuisine at its finest. Combining quality Irish produce with French flair, l’Gueuleton offers a fantastic menu, matched with a perfectly balanced selection of wines. Situated on the ground floor of the old Fade Street Tenements l’Gueuleton is a combination of exposed red brick walls, industrial beams, copper ceilings and wood floors.

    This was our first restaurant on our trip to Dublin and we absolutely loved it! We were able to get one of the last reservations available for the next 2 weeks and had dinner at 9pm. We were greeted and sat immediately and service was wonderful. My partner and I both ordered an espresso martini and it was delicious. We then split the fish and chips for our main entree and it was incredible! For a side, we ordered the Brussel sprouts and roasted carrots and those were both phenomenal. 10/10 highly recommend!
