Both guys are very nice..but NOT brothers! morning If you want to get a taste to Korean. Ok, they use gochujang (I call this Korean spicy ketchup. ) I ordered bibimbop as was recommended by the cook. My fried egg was over cooked as I think requesting a runny egg was lost in translation and he gave me a fried YOLK egg. Cooked all the way. The ban Chan mixture of different Korean veggies was just okay. I miss a good ole fermented or spicy versions of kimchee. Also, I thought the rice became too mushy and some bits of the thinly slice beef was too tough or inedible. I did decide to get the chicken wings and was recommended the dakganjeong ( Korean sweet chili spices) wings. (I asked for extra chili powder on side to make more spicy...given on request). I did like the chicken wings. Nice crispy crust. Just not spicy enough with using gochujang they are serving. Would I stop by again... maybe for the wings.

Not enough seating area, so you'd be lucky if you can get a table. My friends brought me here because they said it was good, so I decided to try it. My friend Marvin got the Mussel soup, and it was huge! I tried a little bit of it, and it did not disappoint. I ordered the Grilled Salmon Dosirak, and it was pretty good. I didn't eat the rice though, nor the little dessert that came with it. I only ate the Salmon, Soup, and Veggies and still filled me up! Very satisfying dinner.

Tried out this place for breakfast over the weekend and quickly became addicted to the overwhelming…read morehispterness of the place. The fact that the food is damn good is a happy plus too. The menu is simple and offers only a few options, my favourite kind of menu as I'm the sort who easily becomes overburdened with choice (first world problems). The interior has a lovely wooden finish to it that makes it feel like it's still a work-in-progress but, that's like, totally cool man. There's a long wooden bench on one side of the room & a few chairs & tables outside, perfect for summer vibes (if it happens to be sunny in Ireland) I went for the *organic* eggs & homemade beans and also a matcha green tea latte. Well the matcha tasted great, but the eggs & beans were really scrumptious. They came out in a cardboard box which actually just worked given the style of the place. It's a good sign when you're eating the food of a place that all you can think about is what everything else on the menu tastes like. I'll update with pics when I inevitably return. In short: A cool place to start your day & my new favourite place for weekend breakfasting. Those eggs though.

I was here for Cocu's grand opening on friday of last week. Now, I expected mistakes to happen,…read morewhich did, since it was their first day open. The tills broke as soon as they opened the doors, and we did have to wait a little past when they said they were opening because the staff weren't ready yet. Service was slow, but in fairness, there was a long line of people out the door. When you order, you select a main (the meat or main veggie part of your meal), your base (rice, greens, etc), and a sprinkle topping. I went for the Vietnamese chicken, on brown rice with spinach and crushed almonds. It came with a peanut butter vinaigrette, which was light enough to flavour the dish, but not too oily or overpowering. As someone else posted, the servings do look small. But, that being said, I was fairly full after eating mine, so I think it may just look a bit small because of the container it was in. I do, however, wish there had been more meat on my dish. My serving was definitely less than one full chicken fillet. BUT, the chicken that was on there was SO tender and juicy. Their breakfast menu looks like quite good, and I look forward to going back and checking out the breakfast menu. It's nice having more healthy options available for lunch in this area, and it's a fairly good price for lunch (7.50 for the box of food unless you get extras). The juices and other drinks there are more than I would pay, but price wise their food is pretty much the same as a burrito/bowl at tolteca across the street. This place is good, and has promise. It just needs to work out a few kinks before I can give it more stars. If their meat portions were just a bit larger, and they can get into a groove where they speed their service up, I'd say this place will do great.

Irish Artisan Breakfast: Loved all the protein intensity! That was one massive sausage, which had a fun thin crispy skin semi-detached. Lots of bacon, with some bits tender and some bits crunchy.

Only thing missing was beans... why?

I loved that they had 2 daily specials - one regular and one vegetarian (that was NOT a salad)! I also loved that the side that accompanied the specials was a spicy butternut squash soup And NOT fries. Nestled by the warmth of the restaurant (and a cold brew) - the food came out quick and was quickly inhaled. I ordered the vegetarian special which that day was a Vegetarian Sandwich with hummus. A bit too much eggplant for my taste but good nonetheless. I spied some of the other diners' dishes I have to say they looked delicious too. Its a great place to grab a bite if you are in the area.

Occupying a prime position directly beside St. Stephen's Green and just steps from the iconic The…read moreShelbourne Hotel, Peaches enjoys one of the most desirable restaurant locations in Dublin. The restaurant sits at the intersection of the Green, Grafton Street, and several of the city's busiest shopping and business districts, making it an easy stop whether you're sightseeing, shopping, or heading to a show. The exterior presents a polished, contemporary façade with golden, modern lettering and large floor-to-ceiling windows that take advantage of the surrounding streetscape and natural light. Inside, the space has been designed as a modern brasserie, with a brighter and more refined atmosphere than its former KC Peaches café incarnation. Soft lighting, contemporary white furnishings, and a clean aesthetic create an environment that feels equally suited to breakfast, brunch, lunch, or dinner service. Our group of ten made a reservation in advance, and I'm glad we did - at 11:30 on a Sunday morning, the restaurant was completely full, so I would say reservations are non-negotiable, especially for large parties on the weekend. The menu reads as a modern European brasserie, combining all-day café favorites with more substantial lunch and dinner offerings. Expect a mix of salads, sandwiches, brunch staples, pasta dishes, seafood, and grilled meats, alongside an extensive coffee and drinks selection. The breadth of the menu makes it suitable for everything from a quick breakfast near St. Stephen's Green to a leisurely evening meal. While the offerings are generally approachable and crowd-pleasing, there is enough variety to appeal to groups with differing tastes. Their drinks include various teas, coffees, lattes etc. - while I'd recommend going to a traditional cafe to sample real matcha, some of my friends really enjoyed their Chai Lattes/Dirty Chai Lattes (€4-6), as well as their other coffee drinks. We all ordered different entrees, and no one was disappointed in their dish - some standouts include their Shakshuka (€14.90), which comes with a large portion of grilled sourdough, a deeply-flavred tomato-and-pepper sauce, runny poached eggs, seasonal vegetables, and basily and feta, and their Full Irish (€15.90) with the same sourdough, flavorful bacon and sausages, black pudding (dont' be scared, it's an Irish breakfast classic, tomatoes, mushrooms, and eggs your way. I opted for the French Toast (€12.90), which was served with two slices of French toast, a rich whipped mascarpone, and a mixed berry compote, which was a perfect balance between sweetness and acidity. While I would have appreciated some additional fruit, I think the French Toast itself was a great combination of richness and crispy fried edges, with a perfectly custardy inside. Prices are moderate for such a central Dublin location, with most diners likely spending between €15-30 per person depending on whether they're stopping in for a casual daytime meal or a more substantial evening dinner (which we didn't get the chance to sample). Overall, Peaches is a great stop in a highly-frequented area for any meal of the day, and I'd love to return at some point to sample their dinner menu!

Every bite tasted like it came straight from a cherished family recipe. This cozy, family-run restaurant radiates warmth and hospitality from the moment you walk in -- you instantly feel like part of the family. The hummus and baba ghanoush are out of this world: creamy, fresh, and full of flavor. The shawarma was perfectly seasoned and tender, and the Lebanese potatoes were crisped to perfection with just the right touch of garlic and spice. We finished with strong, fragrant Lebanese coffee and flaky, melt-in-your-mouth baklava -- the perfect ending to a fantastic meal. Every dish was clearly made with love and attention to detail. It's the kind of hidden gem you feel lucky to discover. Tucked away in Dublin, this place deserves far more attention. And as if the food weren't reason enough to fall in love, the lovely lady proprietor is warm, welcoming -- and a Metallica fan! Seriously, how cool is that? Highly, highly recommend!

Although it had been our first time in the restaurant, the lady working was very amiable and it seemed as though she knew a lot of the other customers by name. It really gave the sense of being a small, family-owned restaurant in a big city like Dublin. Although the decor is plain and nothing noteworthy, it doesn't subtract from the overall ambiance of the place. You should definitely stop by if you want a cheap, quick, and filling meal and I would go out of my way to come here again!
