What the media have to say about Dax’s great wine list!<\/p>\n

100 Great Places to Eat 2025 – Irish Times<\/strong><\/p>\n

After 20 years, Dax still delivers Dublin\u2019s most refined take on classical French cooking. Graham Neville\u2019s plates – courgette flowers stuffed with Dublin Bay prawns, John Dory, Tipperary beef, and mille-feuille of Irish rhubarb – are elegant and precise.<\/span><\/p>\n

Owner Olivier Meisonnave runs the floor with aplomb and has built one of the country\u2019s great wine lists,<\/strong> stretching from biodynamic bottles to Grand Cru heavyweights.<\/em> Lunch, from Wednesday to Saturday, is one of the city\u2019s great escapes; dinner carries the same quiet assurance.<\/span><\/p>\n

“There are few Irish restaurants as accomplished as this one” (The Irish Times, December 2020)<\/h4>\n

Dax, a restaurant where all the stars align. It is owned by Olivier Meisonnave, who worked for years in Thornton’s, which, yes, had two stars back in the day. He is arguably the best ma\u00eetre d’ in the country, and one of the most respected sommeliers.<\/p>\n

The wine list here is deep and dangerous, panic inducing for most, but a delight for those with Bordeaux and Burgundy level pockets. In these situations, I always indicate my budget, and ask for advice, and I am rewarded with Meisonnave\u2019s suggestion of the Tursan \u2018Gros Manseng Carpe Diem (\u20ac40), from a region close to where he grew up in Dax. It is mineral and textured, and \u20ac3 cheaper than the bottle I was considering.”<\/p>\n

It is consistently good and one of the best restaurants in the country for a special night out.<\/p>\n

Business Lunch: 11 great restaurants – The Irish Times (November 2023)<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Dax Restaurant is one of the loveliest places to dine in Dublin. The \u20ac52 lunch menu is as enjoyable for an indulgent daytime treat as it is for the many business lunches that happen here, in quiet corners and semi-private areas. Graham Neville\u2019s cooking is classic, with his signature stuffed courgette flower, delicately cooked fish and delicious meat dishes. Olivier Meisonnave\u2019s very fine wine list and impeccable service complete the experience.”<\/p>\n

Georgina Campbell Guides<\/strong><\/p>\n

Outstanding modern Irish cooking, using the finest seasonal Irish produce, is matched by charming service and a top wine selection, making Dax one of the finest and most exciting restaurant’s in Dublin.”<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
