L'Gueuleton, Dublin

It seems nothing can deter the masses from L’Gueuleton’s doors. This top Dublin restaurant’s no-reservations policy, combined with the recent departure of star chef Troy Maguire, has done little to dint the popularity of this Great George’s Street hot spot. Invoking the seamy allure of a cozy and dark brasserie in Pigalle with its exposed brickwork, tealights and open zinc bar. The simple French-influenced menu produces the upscale comforts of steak-frites, beetroot and goat’s cheese salad, garlicky escargots or Boeuf Bourguignon and never fails to hit the spot. Located in a beautiful building opposite the Victorian Georges’ Street Arcade, try to nab a window table to watch the hordes of young trippers pour into trendy nearby watering holes such as the Market bar, Hogan’s and, above the restaurant, the bar with no name.
