ONE PICO

Definitely THE place for a special occasion! From the moment you step in the staff welcomes you into the calm and classy space. Really enjoyed every course, but I have to say the pumpkin risotto is the perfect winter dish

Tucked away in an alley not far from St. Stephen's Green is One Pico - representative of fine dining and elegance. The Michelin Guide recommends One Pico for offering “modern French cooking... with a distinct Irish influence and, while dishes may look quite simple, they do have considerable depth". As French is the predominant theme, the portion sizes are small, but the price tag is big!

This was though a truly culinary experience with the freshest of ingredients meticulously arranged on each plate. Dishes were ludicrously pretty and were bursting with flavour. Full marks to the Chef Zhan Sergejev for preparing such eyewatering canvases. In particular, the tartare was exceptionally good. The cod as a medallion with height (wonderful plating technique) was so tender that it practically melted in your mouth. The side dish of roasted baby potatoes flavoured with rosemary was moreish. The passion fruit and yuzu (an exotic fruit) soufflé is the restaurant's hallmark dessert, is prepared on the spot (requiring 15 minutes of lead time) and served immediately with its high majestic crown. Divinely delicious! Our coffee was accompanied with 8 treats that again were exquisitely tasty. A perfect end to an unforgettable experience!

Waiters were attentive and polite. Table linen was beautifully laundered and crisp.

Price: Lunch menu 75 euro per person, drinks excluded.

Fabulous food with amazing friendly service

I recently had the pleasure of dining at One Pico with my husband and it was truly a delightful experience. The moment we stepped in, the welcoming atmosphere set the tone for an exceptional dining experience. The attentive staff in particular our host Andrew went above and beyond, ensuring our comfort and satisfaction.  The menu was a culinary masterpiece.  The chef's attention to detail was very eveident in every dish, showcasing an array of incredible flavors and presentation.  From appetizers to desserts, every bite was a testament to the chef's skill and creativity. Combined with all of this was a well-curated wine list therefore making One Pico a perfect recipe for an unforgettable dining adventure. I would highly recommend One Pico, in fact it's a must-visit for food enthusiasts looking for a top-notch restaurant experience.

Visited November 2023, beautiful dining experience. Understated and unpretentious, superb menu. Every single course was perfect, never had that experience before
