L'Ecrivain
what the critics say

AA Gill - 4/5
Sunday, December 19, 2010 - I loved the rabbit terrine with chanterelles, date puree and caper and raisin dressing - elegant and carefully constructed. But best was Wicklow venison, with pumpkin, black pudding and the wacky, comedy addition of pecan nuts...L'Ecrivain is a very decent, hospitable, friendly, stay-a-while hybrid restaurant. Local and native, indigenous, but marbled with French technique and flair. It tasted of hope and recovery, and stoicism, and humour, and poetry, and all those Irish things that are more important than money.

A Rather Unusual Chinaman
Monday, September 21, 2009 - The whole damn meal had been amazing. No dishes were particularly mind blowing, but the sequences of the dishes, the quality of the cooking and more importantly, the ingredients, the combination of flavours and textures, it all just worked...We enthusiastically discussed what had just taken place. We talked about what we liked best, what we didn't like as much and what really surprised us. Two normal guys talking about exemplary cooking. Simply, that's what good food does, it makes people talk. If you're ever in Dublin, L'Ecrivain is definitely worth the visit.
