Restaurant Patrick Guilbaud

Restaurant Patrick Guilbaud is Ireland’s most decorated fine dining restaurant, holding two Michelin stars since 1996 and widely regarded as the benchmark for Irish gastronomy. Located in the Merrion Hotel on Upper Merrion Street, steps from St. Stephen’s Green and the National Gallery, the restaurant combines the grandeur of a Georgian townhouse setting with a dining experience of the highest international caliber. Executive chef Guillaume Lebrun leads a kitchen rooted in the classical French culinary tradition, executing dishes that are both technically immaculate and genuinely expressive, combining French precision with the finest Irish ingredients — native seafood, heritage livestock, wild herbs, and exceptional seasonal produce. The tasting menu and à la carte offering reflect a kitchen at the peak of its powers: beautifully composed, perfectly balanced, and delivered with the consistency that marks truly great restaurants. The service team, guided by a tradition of discreet French formality warmly inflected with Irish hospitality, is among the finest in Ireland. The wine list is extensive and prestigious. In 2026, the restaurant celebrates 30 consecutive years at two-Michelin-star level.
