🍷 Dublin Hidden Gem: Chez Max – A Parisian Escape Beside Dublin Castl
📍 1 Palace St, Dublin 2 (That charming bistro you’ve walked past 100 times) ✨ Why It’s a Must-Visit: "Tourist spot? Nope—legit French vibes." 🇫🇷 "Book ahead or cry at the door." (Even locals fight for tables!) 🍽️ What We Devoured (& Loved): 1️⃣ Escargots de Bourgogne (€12.9) 🐌 "Garlic-herb butter so good, you’ll drink it." 💡 Pro tip: Skip the tool—these snails slide out like they want to be eaten. 2️⃣ Duck Foie Gras Ballotine (€18.9) 🍐 Crispy bread + silky liver + boozy prune jam = "Oui, chef!" ⚠️ Warning: Salt level high—attack with extra bread! 🥖 3️⃣ Entrecôte & Fries (€40) 🥩 "Good, but not ‘I-quit-my-job-for-this’ good." (5/10 for Paris nostalgia.) 4️⃣ Poached Pear in Spiced Wine (€8.5) 🍷 "Like dessert and mulled wine had a baby." (Crunchy praline = genius.) 5️⃣ Café Gourmand (€9.5) ☕ *"4 mini desserts + coffee for less than €10? Très smart."* Crème brûlée (vanilla specks = fancy) Chocolate rum truffle (🍫 "So smooth, it should be illegal.") 💡 Insider Notes: "Staff treat you like family (if your family wore berets)." 👨🍳 "Cozy, not Instagram-bait."
