    Michelin-level plates at a reasonable price! The service is excellent and consistently outstanding over the years. Every dish was exceptional, though the dessert could use a bit of improvement—but nothing to complain about. Truly a fantastic chef and a top-notch team. Highly recommended!

    Boeuf and Frites is a must-visit for steak lovers! The beef is perfectly cooked to your preference—tender, juicy, and flavorful. The fries are crisp, golden, and seasoned just right, pairing beautifully with their delicious sauces. The ambiance is warm and inviting, and the service is attentive. Highly recommended for a satisfying dining experience!

    Great setting on the rooftop of the Leinster hotel. Exceptional service (thank you Steven!). Food selection suited all tastes. Only small comment was that starter portions were small.

    It was one of the best experiences I have had in a very long time. Absolutely blown away From the decor to the atmosphere, the quality of food and flavour, and the service was just exceptional. Could not find a fault or flaw in anything. The wagyu tartar and duck were incredible, and so were all the other dishes. It was just the two of us, and we can't wait to come back to try the rest of the menu. My partner had been at Christmas with friends and raving about until we went together, and I can see why. The staff were brilliant. Had 5/6 different people check in when passing from Management to Front of House, food runners, barstaff etc but they were all so clued in and well trained and knowledgeable it was just great to see. Even the attention to the customer. When we were sat, it was across at the main door, which I thought felt a bit draughty with the weather that night which wasnt an issue, but they had us moved when a more comfortable bigger table came free without even having to ask. Just all those details that make it very rare that a restaurant hits all things like the decor, quality of food, quality of drinks, service, atmosphere, and concept, but Floritz did it perfectly. Now my favourite restaurant in the city. Hands down
