Dax uses quality ingredients to serve delicious and unfussy meals. Offering a small list of starters and mains, Dax’s often change the menu to catch up to the changing style in food.

L’Ecrivain Restaurant is a strong competitor to Dax. L’Ecrivain offers an ethnic French variety of dining experience and does best in it. Rated as one of the best French restaurants in Dublin, L’Ecrivain has some downfalls as well. The place is packed and long waiting times, along with a heavy price tag for each dish you order. The wine here is delectable and the service is marvelous. The Foie Gras which costs around €28.00, is one of the most top rated dishes in this particular restaurant. Chef/patron Derry clarke and wife Sallyanne clarke take pride in their fresh ingredients. The food gets an overall 10/10 rating by most of the customers who visit the restaurants either for the first time or nth time. They keep coming back!
