Kimchi is therefore a very good address, well known by Dubliners, and which has been rewarded many times for the quality and finesse of its menu

But also some more elaborate plates with a Mediterranean influence, such as homemade tagliatelle with scampi and mussels from Connemara or lamb with asparagus. A very nice address.

Delicious, modern and inventive cuisine from Chef Bryan Mccarthy, such as the Cashel Blue cheese soufflé as a starter or the duck with peaches, maple syrup and cardamom sauce as a main course.
