• Contemporary French • South City Centre

Booked 27 times today

It is difficult to define exactly what l’Gueuleton means but the words ‘feast’, ‘food’, ‘family’, ‘friends’ and of course ‘wine’ help us to understand a concept that is inherently French. Since 2004 l’Gueuleton has served French Bistro cuisine at its finest. Combining quality Irish produce with French flair, l’Gueuleton offers a fantastic menu, matched with a perfectly balanced selection of wines. Situated on the ground floor of the old Fade Street Tenements l’Gueuleton is a combination of exposed red brick walls, industrial beams, copper ceilings and wood floors.

Quite a Boho little place - recycled wood, benches, no frills, bright lights. A long menu, with good guidance regarding spiciness. (We stayed within the 3 chilli level) Good options for eating sharing style, or regular starter, main course etc. Food very tasty, but some was very salty. Could be due to a spice mix they sprinkle over some dishes? The squid was a bit rubbery. Bit disappointed that the aromatic crispy duck was a fried crumble of duck bits, not pieces of pulled roast duck. Perfect rice. Chicken with cashew very good. Scallion pancakes good, but weirdly had a strong margarine flavour (or butter substitute spread) Wine list short but something for everyone, & reasonably priced.
