Absolute hidden gem on *Richmond* Street! Walking in, it's smallish with leather booths but very cosy and great views of the kitchen. Started with Smoked Salmon on brown bread and also a Wagyu bite.. both were fresh and flavorful executed perfectly. Main was something I would never order but recommended by the server.. Duck Breast with game sausage, pressed potatoes, blackberry sausage roll and sauce, also outstanding! Wrapped it up with Date Pudding topped with peanuts, toffee sauce and gingerbread ice cream. This was one of the best desserts I've had in ages... so good! Service was very personable and efficient which made this a very memorable experience. Highly Recommend! Talk Later read more

I went for brunch to this gem in Portobello. The atmosphere is cosy, comfortable & relaxed. The service welcoming and efficient. The food is simple with a twist; outstanding both in taste and quality. 8 plus years holding a Michelin Bib Gourmand, they obviously have perfected and maintained their neighborhood feel good vibe, stellar food with a good price point. read more

Went for early bird deal in the evening (great way to try sophisticated food at better prices), and wasn't disappointed with the results! The staff was very attentive, if you drop something you don't have to call them, they just come themselves to help you out. The decore was modern urban style, adding chic to the experience. After making the order, we were given a complimentary bread - and what a bread that was! The food itself was amazing - everything is sophisticated, elegantly presented and is impossible not to eat even if you are already full. One of the best meals I have had in Dublin. read more

Had an EXCELLENT meal here the other night. Stopped in time for the early dinner menu (3 courses €42) and added both of the special small bites. That crab & kohlrabi tartlet was one of the single most flavorful bites I've ever had - completely mind blowing. The chef's attention to detail was unreal on every dish - char on the parsnips and onion, crunch on the dessert garnish, etc. Adding the two small bites was absolutely worth it. I also found the price to be very reasonable considering the quality (although the early dinner menu probably helps!). If I came back through town this would be one to consider a repeat visit for sure read more

I saw this restaurant in the Michelin and had to give it a try...it did not disappoint! The restaurant was elegantly decorated, and the food was well plated and the ingredients were high quality. I ordered a vegetable dish that was just under 20 euros, which was an amazing deal. It was filling and very good quality, especially for the price! read more

Richmond - Irish Near Me - Dublin, D

(4.5 stars) Dinner here was lovely. Came Sunday night for the early bird but ended up getting the steak special, which was a massive cote de beouf served with green beans, onion rings, and fries. The steak was beautifully medium rare and rested in a thick oil that cut through the chariness of the steak but also gave the sides life when you dipped them in. Normally I would've been disappointed with the simplicity of the sides but they were well done so it's hard to complain. The highlight of the meal though was probably the chocolate fondant cake, which just had everything going for it. A gooey lava cake with a fluffy, crisp exterior paired with some berries for acidity, graham cracker for mouthfeel, and cream for some sweetness. A dish not to be missed from the pre-fixe menu. read more

I came here by myself and grab the last table without a reservation. I noticed most folks arrived with a reservation so it is most likely needed if there is a larger party. They have the early bird menu for 2 courses or 3 courses ($28) all night on Sunday which is great. I got the three courses. Pretty good deal for 28 euro for a fine place. I also had a glass of mimosa for 9.5 euro. They don't have cocktails. Only mimosa and wines. I had the grilled mackerel with fennel for my starter and the fillet of cod for entree. Dessert is the chocolate brownie with a scoop of ice cream and sorbet. The grilled mackerel is too fishy and not recommended (thus, less one star). The fillet of cod was very good; so tender and light and soft. The chocolate brownie was served warm which is a plus because it taste so much better when it is warm. Pretty good foods and service. Recommended. read more

I went to Richmond last evening for their Tuesday Tasting menu and I just had to write another review because of it. It was amazing. Every single course was delicious. And it's hard to pick just one as a favourite: Chargrilled sweet corn Organic salmon Venison shoulder puff pie Slow cooked pig cheek Date pudding To describe the trimmings would take too long, but each dish was combined perfectly with what came with the main piece on the plate. I honestly cannot pick a favourite from the five. The wine they recommended went wonderfully with the whole meal also, Laxas Albarino (2014) After mentioning it was our anniversary they comped us a glass of bubbly each. How nice! The staff were very charming and service was prompt without being too quick between each course. I would highly recommend the Tuesday Tasting menu here at Richmond. read more

This is one of my top dining experiences. The folks were so nice and accommodating. The food was outstanding! A smallish menu, but how many choices do you want went every dish is superb? This place isn't about filling bellies. It's about providing a dining experience that excites and tantalizes the palate. Each plate is carefully curated to have each taste complement the others. I had the filet and braised ox cheeks. Something completely new to me! With a grilled roscoff sweet onion, broccoli and a savory sauce, the dinner was one of the best I'd ever had. I topped it off with a delicious almond lemon cake and coffee. I couldn't recommend this restaurant more strongly read more

BEST MEAL IN IRELAND OVER THE PAST 30 YEARS! Eight of us ate on a Tuesday night to experience the true creativity of Chef David O'Byrne. The menu was pre fixe, with zero options, yet every single dish was extraordinary. Fresh breads, wild boar sausage, a perfectly cooked Turbot and amazing breast of Guinnea Hen. And all of that for 42 Euro. 8 foodies from California were blown away. Cheers Richmond....your special place at the top of our dining memories in Ireland is secure. read more

My friends picked this restaurant and I hadn't really had time to check the place out online (which I normally would do), so I didn't know what to expect. Walking in, I instantly felt comfortable. It's warm, inviting, cozy..and I was very pleased to find out that every tuesday they do a 5 course tasting menu here for a mere 30 euro. I eat just about everything, so I actually like the idea of not having to pick a dish of a menu for a change and tasting food I normally maybe wouldn't order. The food we got was just absolutely stunning and looked pretty as a picture! I'm not going to to describe everything we ate as this review will be endless (just have a look at my photos instead, a picture says a thousand words, right?), but I can tell you I enjoyed every course. I would give them all 5 stars, and an extra star for the homemade curry bread and homemade butter. I could have devoured a loaf of just that and would have been happy as larry. I would love to try their regular menu as well, but I will most certainly go back on a tuesday. They change the tasting menu each week, so it will be a complete new experience every time you go. read more

Been to Richmond twice now. Brunch and Dinner. Both times were excellent. Its pricey, but you can get the early bird of an evening 3 courses 25 euros which is pretty good! For Brunch I had an Egg / salsa combo which was amazing. For the Dinner I had Ox tongue croquettes for starters and a delicious burger for my main. Staff are friendly and its a funky restaurant all around. read more

Richmond - Baked eggs with tomato and chorizo with toasted sour dough bread. Delicious. - Irish Near Me - Dublin, D

Our group of three had dinner here earlier this month and everything from the wine to the last bite of panna cotta were excellent. The place has a lively and casual vibe with additional seating available upstairs. After ordering our wine we started with the scallops, oxtail croquette and the ham and rabbit terrine. My scallops were delicious and the oxtail croquette was very flavourful. Terrine is not for me but our friend loved it. For mains we had two orders of braised lamb neck fillet and the Monkfish special. The lamb was melt in your mouth and the monkfish was so buttery and delicious. Would definitely order again. To finish the evening we each ordered the cookies and cream panna cotta. It was sinfully tasty. Richmond delivers wonderful food with great service. Looking forward to our next visit! read more

The Richmond restaurant is a Dublin gem. I like that it's more of a 'neighborhood' restaurant and reminds me of similar spots/neighborhoods in San Francisco. The restaurant is casual and has a lively -yet not too noisy- buzz about it. The intimate lower space is ideal for groups of two to eight. There's also a dining area upstairs that would be great for a private party or larger groups. The staff is super friendly and welcoming. And, the eats... yes, the eats: Above all, the food is remarkable. I keep revisiting the mushroom risotto with the parmesan crisps. Wow - a fabulous starter! And then the seared gnocchi is amazing! Mine had butternut squash and pine nuts and boy was it memorable! Our group of four shared a reasonably priced bottle of Pinot Grigio and everyone was happy with their meals. We skipped dessert as we were sufficiently filled and satisfied. And, better yet, we were able to take advantage of the 'early bird' special which actually is available throughout the evening. I believe Wednesdays and Thursdays are the 'golden ticket' days! And, what a great deal - starter and main course for 22 euro! Our check/bill came with a cool blue-hued postcard of a neighborhood storefront graphic - love it! 120 Euro for four people and that included a bottle of wine, starters and main courses for everyone. The evening was 'Rich' with offerings and the overall ambiance is worthy of five stars. As long as it's around and still offering this great quality - hopefully indefinitely - we'll be revisiting this neighborhood gem. read more

Our visiting clan from the US walked into Richmond's on a whim after reading the Yelp reviews. It was located around the corner from our rental unit. The mood was perfect, music not too loud, and the wait staff very friendly and accommodating - especially since we asked for changes from the standard menu. They also pointed us at a local Italian food vendor after a discussion on creamy balsamic vinegar! The food was somewhere between extremely good and exceptional. About the only nit was the burger being too done - but it appears this is the way they are cooked in Ireland. All in all, a very enjoyable evening. Highly recommended. I look forward to coming back in the future! read more

Richmond - The Chocolate Creme Brûlée! - Irish Near Me - Dublin, D

Definite contender for best brunch in Dublin! I'd been looking forward to visiting Richmond for a long time but kept getting scuppered by circumstances and flakey friends (booo). Sunday was finally the day and it couldn't have worked out better. Things I loved: - The space itself - once you come through the entrance, the heavy, almost theatrical velvet curtains are drawn behind you, and it's all diffused lighting, comfy seating, and dark, rich colours. It's the type of place you could wile away hours upon hours in. - Mimosas served in coupe glasses. Break from the norm and a touch of elegance. - The food. Wow. Every single thing that was presented to the table was excellent. From the criiissppyyyy bacon to the simple Eggs Florentine, and the star of the show in my eyes, the fish gratin. I was absolutely stuffed to the gills (pun intented) afterwards and couldn't even manage desert which I'll have to prioritise next time I'm there. - Finally, service. I had a few enquiries prior to heading along and Russell the manager called and left a detailed message on my phone as well as emailing me, which was a really nice touch. In there, the service struck that perfect balance between friendly and professional. As good as it gets. Can't wait to go back. read more

We ate here recently on a very wet night, we were given the window seat which was a good size for four. Two of us started with the crab which was very good, fresh with accompaniments, only criticism is maybe a bit heavy handed with the cucumber. The others had the mozzarella which looked very good. For main two had the Cote de Boef which looked excellent and was cooked as requested. I had the haddock which was very good also, but it was not a large portion of fish. My wife had the sole which was demolished very quickly, and pronounced delicious. We finished with cheese, which was Mileens, nice crackers and quince. The cheese was too cold. Service was a bit sketchy, but overall excellent food, portions could be more generous. read more

Great staff service and really tasty food. The eggs benedict with pancetta are awesome! However we were waiting for the food a little more than expected. Really recommended though! read more

Oh Yeah! Had brunch here on a Saturday! I instantly like the style and vibe... I went for The Grill, Bacon, amazing sausages, tomato, mushroom, pudding, sour dough toast, 2 poached eggs! Ahhhhhh Gaaaaad, it was good! It would have been SUPER AMAZING if beans had been served with it.. They also have some beers on tap, Sierra Nevada for one and my friends tell me the bloody mary is also top quality! I'll be back to try a few more dishes from the menu.. read more

Relaxed and welcoming vibe. Nice staff. Perfect place for a Sunday brunch. We got the eggs Benedict which was very tasty. Not sure if it was the hangover but it seemed like we were waiting an age for the order to come out. Out server told us it was because we ordered a side of gratin dauphinoise. But it was all worth it in the end. read more

We had a wonderful dinner at Richmond! The early bird dinner menu on Sunday is such good value! I went for a main and a dessert and left with a really fully belly. For my main I went with the burger - oh man was it good. The meat was seasoned so well and the paprika aoli is heaven. My boyfriend had the beer batter fish and chips (plaice, was the special of the day) and it was insanely good and again, perfectly seasoned. For dessert I went with the date pudding, which is essentially a sticky toffee pudding - a REALLY yummy one. It was amazing and Richmond does such a good job on their plating. Beer choices are a bit limited with Sierra Nevada on tap. read more

A cute little place tucked away in D2 away from the hustle and bustle, being peak brunch time on a Sunday, it was fairly busy and the service was slightly slow but it was worth the wait. I had the eggs Benedict with the sauce on the side, the poached eggs were cooked to perfection, I was also able to top up the order and add a sausage as extra which I thought was a fantastic idea, the basic breakfast menu items cost 10.50 which is good value for what you get, definitely gonna add this place to the list of regular brunch haunts read more

I love this place and hope everyone gets the chance to try Richmond! I went on a Friday, and had the best service(shoutout to our girl, Trish), and the BEST food. The menu is short, and their specials are extensive. Poultry, beef, seafood, shellfish, veggie, no one was left out! We got a few bottles of wine and scarfed down the sweet pepper bread and basil pesto butter - we went thru about 3 orders of this during dinner. In-cred-uhh-ble! Ask for more once you're done if you're a carbomonster like me. I ordered the truffle mushroom risotto to start - would get again FA SHO. I also got the rib eye that came with green beans and the chips. I asked for the pepper sauce as well, and it was just amazing. One of the 7 specials was wild boar pappardelle, and I think it was my absolute favorite dish of the night. Savoury, hearty, awesome. Sometimes you need an evening to spend hours catching up with friends over delicious food and lots of wine. Our waitress got that and even came over and said to stay as long as we wanted as they didn't need the table. Highly recommend you try Richmond out! Good people with a great restaurant! read more

As far as I'm concerned, the gold standard for chicken wings is defined by Elephant and Castle in Temple Bar and/or Tribeca in Ranelagh. Richmond tries hard but comes up short, but only just. We came here for brunch on a showery May Sunday afternoon. They don't take brunch reservations and, as a small restaurant, it's a bit of lottery as to getting in. However, there was no problem as it turned out. Service was friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. My oh had the cod mornay despite the fact she doesn't like cod. Go figure. She liked this though. My wings were as above. We chose a fine Rueda from the short but perfectly acceptable wine list. A solid four stars and we will definitely return to try their dinner offering. read more

I went for brunch recently on a Sunday. We arrived at 12 and the place was full by half past. We didn't drink as it was fairly early. Instead we had tea and coffee to drink. I had wild mushrooms on brioche toast and my friend had the fish pie. Both dishes were gorgeous. We both had dessert- mine was a salted caramel and peanut concoction. I can't remember what my mate had but I do remember we enjoyed both desserts. The staff are friendly and food quality and taste is wonderful. One of my friends booked her work do here after chatting to me. They had a terrific meal and she was raving about the place. One to try. Highly recommended. read more

What a great gem. Not too far a walk from the Hilton Dublin I stayed at for the holidays. The food was delicious, and presented like a Michelin starred restaurant. There is definite attention to detail, while providing a very laid back and cozy atmosphere. Room for only about 25 guests. Make reservations! This is sure to be a tough table to get soon. Only open three weeks. We tried the goat cheese, lamb neck and gnocchi - all three were fantastic. Russell took care of our table, providing exceptional service while asking preference questions to assist in guiding us through the menu, ensuring our selections were paired to our tastes. Overall excellent experience. Will definitely recommend to others. read more

Objectively -This was a nice spot to go for dinner. Nice, tasty , and reasonably priced.Subjectively- it lacked a bit in imagination and the food just didn't come together as nicely or as tastely(if this a word)as I had hoped . Their house red wine (30euro) wasn't the greatest , quite acidic. I will say their desserts were very tasty- I'd definitely return for them. Really nice staff. read more

The food is very delicious and well executed. Everything from starter to main to dessert were beautifully plated and very appetizing. We had a party of three and enjoyed our time thoroughly. One of us wanted only vegetables and the chef went ahead and made a special dish for her. The atmosphere was cozy. We were served by 3 wait staffs. The first two were amazing and excellent. And last one who rang the check for us were extremely rude in w every way. When my credit card was requiring a pin (which happened a few times in Ireland as I am traveling) and I asked him to enter the card number manually (which worked every time), he rolled his eyes and looking very annoyed and refused. There were many other things he did afterwards showed that he was unprofessional and unfit to be a wait staff. Despite the great food, I would never return again and would not recommend anyone to. Not worth it. read more

Went here for the first time last night and I was extremely impressed. Called in on the night of the Ireland-Italy match, so we got a table straight away. And it turns out that the Early Bird menu runs for the full night on Wednesdays. Excellent news. I went for the soup of the day (cauliflower with crispy onions on top) and pressed neck of pork. Both were absolutely wonderful. Even better, the Early Bird deal meant we got the 2 Courses for under €22. We ordered the cheapest bottle of red wine, which was more than serviceable, and then ordered another glass afterwards to nurse for another half-hour. The service was excellent, with a fabulous waitress who even kept us informed on the latest action from the big match. All in all, a wonderful addition to a great part of town. Go & check it out! read more

What a fantastic little restaurant! I came in by myself on a Wednesday evening. There was one other table with 5 people, otherwise the restaurant was not very busy. I had the rib eye steak, which was cooked perfectly. My only comment is that I would have enjoyed a bit more starch to go with the meat. The server was very prompt and friendly. Food was served quickly, and was absolutely delicious. A little bit pricey, but worth every cent. I can't say enough about the service! The waiter was great, and I think I was speaking with the manager, who was very kind and personable. Definitely the best meal I had while visiting Dublin! read more

This is quite a nice little spot for a quick brunch. I had the eggs Benedict and was very pleased. My wife had the wild mushrooms over sourdough toast with a watercress salad. Very straight forward and well executed. read more

Stuffed myself silly with an amazing 3 course dinner here last week, spinach and oxtail soup to start, very strong flavour, delicious, Complimentary caramelized onion bread and rosemary butter was a treat, made in house that day by the chef. Main course was a lamb neck fillet with veg, small portions, very filling and tasty. Never had a lamb neck fillet before so wasn't sure what to expect, but it was soft and melt in the mouth. For dessert a tasty rhubarb compote, slightly spicy, tart not sweet, with cinnamon, orange cream and a hard crumbly ginger biscuit on top. Again not what I was expecting but nice to be surprised by something new/different. 3 courses and all the bread was probably too much food as it was so rich and filling, even though the main was quite small, but I was there so long that it didn't feel excessive. A lovely welcoming atmosphere, like a small neighbourhood bistro, the waiter and manager/owner very friendly and casual and always available without being overly attentive or fussy. Comfy red banquette style seats, stayed there 3 hours and felt like I was welcome to stay as long as I wanted. The welcoming glass of prosecco went down very well. It was nice to eat somewhere in the city centre that didn't feel rushed or impersonal. I think this was because of the welcome provided by the manager, not usual in any places I've been. Many places in the city could take a lesson from here in how to be provide warm atmosphere. The window seats are awesome, watching the madness of rush hour trafffic whizz by. Price wise it's slightly more than I would usually go for on a meal out, but it was a great treat, and so nice to get amazing food just by paying that little bit more. Can't wait to go back for brunch which looks delicious, and the gnocchi will be next on the list to try when I go. I would go here more often instead of going to the usual bland burger/pasta/pizza place Pros: Relaxed, friendly atmosphere. Very tasty food, rich, filling and different. Care taken by the chefs with the menu and ingredients came through. Cons: Only slightly minor complaint was the side of fries weren't great, not sure people would order fries in a place like this anyway. Didn't see a soft drink available, but forgot to ask! read more

Had such a good experience here last night for the Tuesday tasting menu. Can't fathom for the life of me how they manage to do five amazing courses at such a reasonable price (€29.95). The restaurant itself is lovely, very warm and inviting. Waiting staff couldn't do enough for us. Wine was delicious and also very well priced! We started with what was my favorite dish of the evening, a mushroom risotto, boring you might think but this was actually very exciting and the truffle oil! Oh, the truffle oil. Yum! Then we had maple glazed parsnip, also gorgeous. Fish gratin with leeks and Parmesan was really tasty, if a little on the salty side for my taste. Lamb rump for the meat course was melt in the mouth tender and very tasty. Dessert was poached pear with almond sponge and ice cream, just the right size and perfect end to a perfect meal. Highly recommend this excellent bargain, totally worth heading out on a Tuesday evening for. read more

Richmond restaurant delivers a superb meal and highly competent and friendly service every time. I returned this time for brunch and was not disappointed. Expertly made coffees by a lady with the biggest smile you've ever seen, followed by wild mushrooms on toast with perfectly soft poached eggs. My Mum opted for the fish gratin and we finished with a chocolate dessert, with homemade honeycomb, cherry mousse + pistachio crumble. They have good taste in music too which is so important. But it's all about the food here - even the plating of each dish indicates serious talent in the kitchen. And the staff all seem to really like each other! All in all it makes me want to return as soon as possible. read more

We ended up here by chance as the place we were going for brunch was packed and we had never heard about this place. We were very happy with the menu. The choices of food and prices are very good, I had egg florentine that were superb, my friends had the burger and egg bake and were both very happy. Every dish that they brought out to people sitting beside us looked delicious. But for me the most important thing it is the customer service and it could not be better. I would only add that we thought the price for the dessert was a bit on the expensive side for the size of the actual dessert but it didn't affect the overall experience just maybe something they should look into? Overall opinion...yum! read more

Stopped in on a Sunday night, looking for a decent meal on our last night. It was EXCELLENT. The prix fix menu (aka early bird - but available all night) was very reasonable and we would have ordered from that - but there was a venison special that we both had to try. Wonderful. And you must have the date cake with toffee sauce for desert. Atmosphere is casual and cozy, excellent for conversation. read more

We had an incredible meal with delightful service on Wednesday. The restaurant was full, but this didn't stop us getting a warm welcome from the host, as well as attentive, but not fake or pushy service.

Whenever we go to Richmond, we finish up with the Date pudding, which is an absolute standout. Can't wait to go back! read more
