Forest Avenue

Forest Avenue is a Michelin-starred restaurant in Rathmines, south Dublin, operated by the husband-and-wife team of John and Sandy Wyer — a model of independent, chef-driven fine dining that prioritizes culinary substance over commercial formula. The restaurant has received a Michelin star in the 2026 guide, recognizing the kitchen’s commitment to modern, seasonal cuisine crafted with precision and genuine creative ambition. The menu changes regularly in response to the availability of quality produce, reflecting the owners’ belief that the best cooking begins with the best ingredients and that technique serves quality rather than replacing it. The airy, glass-fronted dining room — situated close to the canal in Rathmines — creates a comfortable and bright environment that feels approachable while maintaining an appropriately refined atmosphere. Service is warm, knowledgeable, and personal. Forest Avenue also operates Forêt, a sister restaurant above a pub off Leeson Street offering classic French dishes in a non-traditional setting. Both venues reflect the Wyers’ commitment to quality and hospitality across different formats.
