Experts' Choice Award The French Paradox Wine Shop & Tasting Room
What the experts agree on
Charming wine-focused bistro above a French wine shop in Ballsbridge, serving authentic dishes like cassoulet. Relaxed, bright atmosphere perfect for lingering over a carefully chosen bottle.
“Relaxed, simple, but chic would best describe this little restaurant above a wine shop in the heart of Ballsbridge; it also describes the people of the south of France who inspired the place.”
– Fodor's
