Here’s Where You Will Find The Most Amazing Food In Dublin Right Now

We’re all guilty of sticking to one type of cuisine when dining out, and while there’s nothing wrong with having carbonara every date night out on the town, Dublin is absolutely brimming with young chefs who are bringing sparks of creativity to every dish they touch.

Whether it’s a surprise tasting menu of fish smoked right in front of your eyes, or local farm flowers in a garden setting, these eight restaurants are where’ll you find some of the city’s most innovative eats.

Here’s where to go for an explosion of bold flavours you won’t taste anywhere else…

Prepare to fall back in love with food.

Richmond, South Richmond Street 

Much, much more than your regular neighbourhood spot, Richmond excel in exciting twists and local produce.

Starter plates of crab cannelloni, mussels, courgette, wild asparagus, tarragon, and shellfish sauce will have you drooling, while regular Richmond addicts will love their Tuesday tasting menu – a five course menu for €33 which changes weekly.

Bastible, South Circular Road

Notoriously hard to get a booking even though it’s been open two years, Bastible is a contemporary bistro that’s reinventing what exactly a ‘bistro’ should be.

Their food is based on the seasons around them, sourced from dedicated artisan producers, and inspired by the creativity of their small team. 

The Greenhouse, Dawson Street 

Long considered one of the most consistently inventive restaurants in the city, The Greenhouse is the place to go if you want to be absolutely wowed.

With dishes such as Foie Gras royale, apple, walnut and smoked eel, and the restuarant only serving a 5 course surprise menu on the weekends, you’ll taste something new every time you eat here.

Taste at Rustic, George’s Street 

Taste at Rustic fuses flavours from Japan, Spain and South America, the menu focuses on salt, sweet, bitter, sour and umami – a sensory savoury flavah.

Stand out dishes include a monkfish broth of truffle, ponzu, cucumber and seasoned vegetables, and grilled king crab with hot butter, yuzu chilli sauce, coriander and radish. YUM.
