The Bridgestone Guide 100 Best Restaurants 2011…

“Whether you choose the bistro or the more formal restaurant, Bon Appetit’s food is unified by Oliver Dunne’s brilliance….Mr. Dunne is one of the best cooks of his generation, and the creativity and originality of his dishes is a total thrill….prices are very fair for such original work, with great value.”

Paolo Tullio says…

“The first thing that struck us both was the quality of the ingredients on the menu….Outstandingly good food and value for money that’s hard to believe made this a memorable evening”.

“Faultless dishes, made with consummate skill, beautifully presented and served with the highest level of professionalism. Every single part of the meal was as a result of skill, time and dedication……All of the dishes are prepared to the highest standard….possibly the best value gastronomy around”.

Kevin Flanagan says…

“You can have a conversation here without anyone overhearing you, something quite rare in crowded Dublin restaurants nowadays…..Ireland’s youngest yet most experienced chef: for Oliver Dunne has worked from them all….a clean sweep of 1, 2, and 3 Michelin star restaurants and it tells.”

The Bridgestone Guide says…

“A fantastic dining experience. This is an exceptional restaurant.”

“Dunne is one of the best cooks of his generation, and that the symphonic sweep of his dishes is a total thrill, with flavours, textures and colours all summoned with a painterly, pointillist perfection.”
