Housed in a Georgian townhouse beside the Merrion Hotel, this is the benchmark for fine dining in Ireland, run by chef Guillaume Lebrun on classical French lines built around Irish ingredients. The art collection on the walls is as serious as the kitchen — pieces by major 20th-century Irish painters hang throughout the dining room.
