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

    I loved the service. The staff were super attentive, very polite, and the service was very fast. The food was wonderful — absolutely perfect, no complaints at all. Every dish was excellent, and all the guests were very satisfied. It’s not the cheapest place, but considering the quality, I definitely recommend it. It’s worth it, and I will certainly come back.

    Brilliant experience at Margagh for Sunday lunch with family. The staff were knowledgeable and really friendly. The food was delicious, 4 courses of fine dining level food without the usual exhobitant price tag. Fantastic wine list too. Room lovely and bright and relaxed. No loud music. What's not to love? We were having such a good time with the wine and lunch we were too late to see the exhibition. Duh! So will back! Thank you Alex and team.
