About

The Guinea Pig, a charming fish‑centric restaurant tucked into the medieval town of Dalkey, Ireland, has been a favourite of locals and Hollywood stars alike since 1957. Today it is run by French chef Jérôme Fernandes, whose culinary expertise blends classic Irish seafood with Mediterranean flair. Diners can indulge in a diverse menu ranging from fresh Dublin Bay chowder to succulent lobster and a selection of seasonal fish. The elegant dining room offers a relaxed yet sophisticated atmosphere, complete with a well‑curated wine list featuring local and international vintages. Whether you’re in for a leisurely lunch on Sunday at 12:00 p.m. or a stylish dinner from 5:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m., The Guinea Pig promises a memorable culinary experience that celebrates both tradition and innovation.
