    Gem of a neighbourhood restaurant. Very friendly and attentive staff. The food was beautifully presented. Exciting to see different food offerings than the norm on a menu and the quality of food was exceptional.

    Dear Ciara, Thank you so much for this fantastic review. We try to keep a certain originality in our dishes, while maintaining a certain tradition of French gastronomy. Hope to see you again very soon and to do better on the atmosphere this time ;) Sidjy & Colin

    A little bit of France in Ranelagh. Charming and helpful staff which portrays a lovely ambience. The food was delicious from starter (Chickpea Bonbons) to mains Pork in Mustard Sauce and Poulet Basquaise to dessert - Lemon Meringue. We had a very pleasant wine to wash it all down. I would highly recommend Excuse My French.

    Really nice experience - lovely room, friendly staff and gorgeous food. I want to go back for lunch on a sunny day and sit out on the terrace.
    Excuse My FrenchResponded 3 days ago
    Dear Aine, Thank you for leaving us such a lovely review. Thank you for highlighting the quality of our food and service. Indeed, our terrace is a real trap to relax with a glass of wine in the sun so come and enjoy it as soon as possible, one is never sure of the weather in Ireland ;) Look forward to welcoming you again in Excuse my French.

    Great evening with my wife, and local to us. Food was amazing. Was not ware of the Sunday Wine Promo, which was a touch. We had a splendid evening. Our waitress was great. Our bill was less than expected. Lovely evening. I'll try make it a monthly regular with my wife. High recommended.

    Nice restaurant and very attentive waiters. The wine and starters were excellent but our experience fell down on the main course which was over done and not very appetising.
    Excuse My FrenchResponded on 25 April 2025
    Dear David, Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. We're happy to hear you enjoyed the wine, starters, and attentive service — it means a lot. The pork and beef you mentioned are both simmered, slow-cooked, deeply flavoured, and unapologetically rich. Not everyone's cup of tea, we get it, but definitely intentional. We would rather stand by bold flavours than play it safe. That said, we appreciate the honesty, and if you’re up for a second round, we’d be happy to show you what else our kitchen can do. French food deserves a rematch, non? Sidjy & Colin
