Emma Gray and her chef husband Giles Gaillot are the culinary creatives behind recent Dublin 8 hot spot Gaillot et Gray.
What started as a food truck business in Greystones five years ago has now found four walls in the Liberties and locals should be thrilled. Pizzas at Gaillot et Gray are based around the style they serve in Grenoble, where Giles is from. Made with thin bases, cooked in a wood-fired oven and most importantly – topped with Elemental cheese.
The restaurant is still essentially takeaway, but you can sit in and scoff too. Until they get their licence it’s BYOB (and you can even grab a pint next door and bring it in, if you ask nicely).
In the morning, they offer house-baked croissants, pain au chocolate, Madeleines, brioche and a rustic boule, served up with killer coffee (Baobab, roasted in Celbridge) or a lovely pot of Intelligent Tea (hand-blended by Freda Wolfe from native Irish herbs).
