As usual, the lunch special was excellent and very good value. I could almost claim to be disappointed because it wasn't brilliant--which it sometimes rises to--but that doesn't seem quite fair. My guest was delighted with the croque madame, which is my default dish if for some reason the special doesn't appeal to me.

Me and my wife had our last meal in Dublin at Pichet and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The fish was sooo fresh and it was accompanied by some amazing sides. The waiter helped us pair a wine with our fish which complimented our meal perfectly. Very highly recommended.
