Nice restaurant with Irish breakfast and dishes in the city center. The food was fine but staff was super friendly and accommodating with us and our toddler. They have high chairs, kids menu and color pencils, but not sure if they have changing room. The first floor is definitely quieter than the ground floor.

I heard great things about this place and their gluten free options. I ordered the regular Irish breakfast.

The egg was cold and so were the beans, so I couldn’t eat them.There was a lot of fat on the bacon. The staff were lovely, very polite and friendly.
Great little find. We had an early morning flight into Dublin and not many places were open for breakfast on Saturday morning.
We came across this place. Lovely service, good value for money, food was really tasty. Definitely recommend!

I ADORE Taste Food Company! One of my top lunch spots in dublin, and one I can consistently rely on! I've come here so many times, and the food is always outstanding. I've had the Caeser salad, loaded fries, falafel salad, and chicken salad. All extremely tasty! Really recommend

The brunch was amazing, I always wanted to the try the oats breakfast with berries and nuts. Didn’t realise it would be too filling before ordering eggs too.
The place was almost full and I was lucky to have gotten a seat, so I recommend making reservations beforehand.

After a 15 min walk, we ended up here at the Taste Food Company. There stood a queue after us in front of the door and I totally understand why now.

We had a tremendous Irish breakfast and we received great service from Eduardo. All our meals were great and the food was served very quickly!

Definitely a recommendation in Dublin!

Eduardo our Waitress was the best, give him a promotion!! We came in during lunchtime to the taste food company, and we were greeted by a host who took us to the top floor to get seated. Here is very spacious and very comfortable, and I love the atmosphere. We were greeted by a kind waiter Eduardo who gave us recommendations on what to eat, and we all loved all the food and drinks that we received it was very delicious. There is actually a one minute parking nearby and it was very convenient for us and I would definitely come back here again to get breakfast!

We went for brunch on a Monday afternoon. Our server was Edwardo and he was very kind and attentive. Our food was amazing, very tasty and the presentation was on point. our caffeinated beverages were also on point. We really enjoyed our experience at this restaurant. We will definitely return when we're in the area.

Dublin, Ireland.

Absolutely gorgeous food. Perfect coffee. Beautiful café. Amazing atmosphere. Kind and considerate staff. 100% recommend if you’re willing to wait. Empty plates speak for themselves.

I met a friend for lunch here on a Sunday. Seats were cramped, place was very busy. Fair enough that happens. My main problem was that I ordered an Irish stew which cost more than €15 and I got a tiny plate which had 3 pieces of carrot, 3 pieces of potato, and a few fatty pieces of meat in a lot of gravy. It was like stew soup. It tasted fine but it wasn't enough food to feed a child. My friend got a tuna melt which was also really expensive and consisted of two tiny rolls. Really not worth the money and I definitely won't be going back.

It was such a nice place. The food and the service were good and also the table where we ate looked beautiful. We ate breakfast there but the lunch etc. is probably nice too :)

OMG, the desserts! I think one of the better parts of the night. The lemon tart was the #1. Also, the salmon was exquisite, and the meat was really tasty and well-seasoned. The atmosphere is really nice, and the service is excellent. People with energy ready to give you one of the best dining nights.

Food was expensive and mediocre. My expectation was quite high because of the Google reviews and Michelin guide. Kinda disappointed with the food. Service was ok. I didn’t like the server keep reminding us that our booking only for 2.15 hours and it took them to serve us the main course 50 mins after the starter. Atmosphere was good just a bit too loud in the restaurant probably because there’s two big groups there. I think the restaurant probably good for groups rather than couple because you probably can’t hear each other lol.

From start to finish a great experience!

The food was delicious and the service was very attentive and friendly. What stood out in all dishes were the meat components, perfectly cooked and super tender. The lemon tart for dessert was also great.

On the pricier side, but well worth it!

Charming place in the heart of Dublin and near Temple Bar district. Red and White striped decorative outside and very inviting ambience. Casual yet sophisticated in a unique Dublin fashion. We were recommended their Grilled Iberico Pork Pressa. It was described to us as the Wagyu of Pork and did not disappoint. The sauce was a bit spicy but mild and buttery but light and an herbal note. Unbelievable! We all were amazed. We were recommended to try the roasted cauliflower, and just WOW! They said this is a stable, they change their menu often but always keep this dish. Was just golden, not sure what else to say. Also had their Choux Bun and was like the lightest, fluffiest yet richest dessert I have ever had. Definitely try Pichet when in Dublin. I really enjoyed the passion of the waiters, staff. Follow their recommendations and enjoy the 2 and a half hours allocated, worth every minute!

This is the best French restaurant and the best French food I had in my life 😋. Its little expensive but food is extremely delicious. Will suggest to order 1 starter and 1 main per person and it is extremely tasty. The food is presented in a very nice way and it is a must visit for best French restaurant in Ireland. Will suggest to book a table in advance as in evening it is very crowded and maybe one has to wait for an hour for table if there is no advance reservation.

We went for brunch today after so many months of not dining here and were disappointed with the dining experience. First, they have gotten rid of the metro special which is usually our go to order. My friends ordered the pancakes and added extra sides such as scrambled eggs and streaky bacon which mimics the metro special. One of the pancakes they served him was burnt. I ordered the chicken and chorizo jambalaya which caught my attention as its quite new on the revamped menu. I was disappointed when it arrived as it didn’t look appetizing at all and is something that I think I can easily do in my kitchen. Will probably not be back for a long while and prefer to go somewhere else for brunch.

My family and I had such a special afternoon here. The food was sublime and the staff were so friendly and enjoyable. Exceptional value for such high quality and standard. You simply have to come and experience it.

So I have given this a five stars across the board based on the brunch we had, and the value, quality and service we experienced. We had brunch for two, lovely coffee, great pastry and pancakes. The food was very prompt and the service was fantastic. Given the location it's surprisingly not an arm and a leg cost wise. Decor is simple, no frills, but very clean and tidy. It's a great spot for a quick bite.

Had dinner here to celebrate a new job. The starter (involving mackerels) was excellent but the mains (lamb and fish of the day) were average. Nice ambiance and good service. Not too expensive for what it is.

My friend and I went to Pichet for our birthday dinner and I cannot recommend this place enough. The presentation and the taste of the food served here is 20/10. Sooo freaking gooooood!

If you'd like to enjoy their dining experience, so book your table well in advance and order an item from each course of meal. It will be worth every penny!

Really good spot for an all day breakfast. Our order for lost in the system so we had to wear a little longer than expected. They were very kind though and gave us free coffees to make up for any delay. I would definitely go back if I was on the lookout for a late breakfast. The breakfast buttie is sensational.
