  1. Forêt

    French

    Save to a list Write a review On the Way Around

    The menu reads like a French bistro flashcard, with pâté, rillettes, and au poivre doing the work before you've even ordered. Forêt is a French restaurant sitting, somewhat absurdly, above an Irish pub on Leeson Street, and the team from Forest Avenue next door runs it with enough conviction that the whole thing holds together. It holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand, and the cooking earns that quiet confidence.

    The dishes from the writeups

    • Terrine de campagne

      “The terrine de campagne is a rustic, well-seasoned slab of pork, sharpened by violet mustard and cornichons.”

      Eater
    • Halibut grenobloise

      “The halibut Grenobloise is textbook: crisp-skinned, pearly-fleshed, and brightened with capers and lemon.”

      Eater
    • Croissant pudding

      “Desserts are indulgent, particularly the croissant pudding – custardy, crisp-topped, and swimming in Cointreau caramel.”

      Eater
    • Tomato tart with piperade

      “The tomato tart with piperade is a prime example, simply bursting with umami.”

Eat Score

The score comes from the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin star outweighs a listicle. When you sort by what's nearby, distance changes the order, never the score.

      Stay Score

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
