Fodor's Review:

Dubliners don't do waiting, but you'll see hungry crowds hanging around waiting for a table outside this exceptional new eatery just off George's Street. Definitely the best new restaurant in Dublin, L'Gueuleton's tiny size doesn't put off the crowds who head here for authentic French food at a people's price. Start with the braised ray wings with capers or the warm poached egg and watercress salad. For a main course, the Toulouse sausages with choucroute and Lyonnaise potatoes somehow manages to be hearty and adventurous at the same time. Desserts have a devilishly childish touch to them, with the jelly and ice cream with raspberry cookie a typical example. All in all, this is most definitely worth the wait. Speaking of which: although you can't phone in a reservation, you can go there early in the evening and put your name down for a table along with your cell-phone number. They will give you a call 20 minutes before your table is ready. People also gather outside hoping to be fitted in during the evening.

Just Fantastic

Although getting a table is a little painful (having to queue outside from 5:30pm onwards to put your name down is quite a stretch), once you're happily entrenched in the lovely surroundings, prepare for some fabulous food. Really enjoyable & thoroughly recommended.

So good there is normally a queue from 5pm for a table! No reservations taken.

Sexy atmosphere, great service and some of the best french-influenced food in Dublin at some of the most reasonable prices! it's worth queuing or putting your name down for a table and going around the corner to the Clarendon for a glass of wine while you wait.
