The French Paradox

The French Paradox Review

Like the people of the south of France who inspired the place, relaxed but stylish would best describe the decor and dining at this little restaurant above a wine shop. French Paradox has found a real niche in the Dublin scene. Wine buffs, Francophiles, and gourmets flock here for the hearty traditional fare and Mediterranean environment. Share the assiette le fond de barrique, a selection of charcuterie, pâté, and cheese, or perhaps indulge in a selection of cured Irish fish or a choice from the foie gras menu. Select a nice bottle from the ground-floor wine shop (mostly French labels) and sip it in situ for a mere €8 corkage fee along with a few "French tapas." Seating is limited.
