• Modern European • Ballsbridge

Opened in August 2021 in Ballsbridge, Mae Restaurant focuses on Modern Irish Cuisine and Considered Wines, owned and operated by multi-award winning chef Grainne O'Keefe. Mae has been included in the Michelin Guide since 2022. "This cosy first-floor restaurant is hidden above the French Paradox wine shop, which not only gives it an appealingly secretive feel but also makes opting for one of the interesting wine pairings a wise move. The tasting menu begins with delicate snacks and fine daily-made sourdough, before offering a choice of main course and dessert. In game season, you'd be foolish to miss the exquisitely cooked sika deer and the tarte Tatin is Chef-Owner Gráinne's crowd-pleasing signature. The chefs show not just skill but generosity, so you'll leave feeling full and satisfied." - Michelin, 2024

Nice atmosphere in Thomas Madden room ,the new table layout makes a pleasant improvement. The duck starter was tasty and very well presented as was the beef main course. AS for the dessert, how can you go wrong with apple crumble topped with a generous serving of ice cream !! Bliss. White wine very well priced and excellent value. As usual the serving staff were friendly and professional. We drive 80 Km to have lunch/dinner at the club which says it all
