    Bresson must be the best neighborhood restaurant around. I love that they have linen tablecloth and napkins - it sets the tone. The food is always excellent and Caroline and her staff are very professional. They have great quality half bottles of wine and their cocktails are super. It’s our default restaurant by a mile!

    Following review sent to OpenTable for a Sunday Lunch. Service: Excellent. On entering we got a very nice impression of an upmarket bistro and a very friendly and professional greeting and we were accommodated immediately even though we were 30 minutes early. Food: in our opinion between Very good and Excellent. Comments: Disappointed no roast beef left as at 2.00pm and it was suggested to order the steak instead. The steak was excellent but very big, far more than was wanted, and with a €12 surcharge. Perhaps a smaller steak option could be available if out of the roast option and without the necessity for a large surcharge (for a meat eater who doesn’t like duck!). Starter: Roquefort cheese on an otherwise delicious starter was very cold as if straight out of fridge which masks the full creamy flavour. Main: Scallops main course was delicious though perhaps not quite enough for someone with a larger appetite. Generous selection of breads and butter provided at start including an accommodation for gluten free bread and throughout the menu. We would recommend people to try Bresson for themselves. Thanks to everyone at Bresson.

    Inexperienced servers for a “fine dining” restaurant. Didn’t feel like fine dining whatsoever. Table left without any touch by the waitress.
