Dublin 4 Restaurants

Since 2002, The French Paradox, an Irish institution, is a unique wine-themed place in the heart of Ballsbridge. Our ground floor Wine Shop has a fine selection of directly imported artisan wines. Our first-floor kitchen uses locally sourced and directly imported produce from suppliers we personally know. We use traditional recipes to make quality French tapas, sharing plates and three-course set menus. The French Paradox customers find everything they need on two bright and welcoming levels.
Wine is the leitmotiv in the French Paradox Experimental Hall of taste, sense, texture and food pairing experiences. In a combination of the traditional and contemporary, we use the romance of candles to light our oak, terracotta, glass and zinc designed bars. Our modern temperature-controlled wine keeping equipment preserves 50 different wines for the service of wine by the glass. We have 160 different wines available.More
