Richmond - Dublin

Only giving this restaurant 5 stars seems like a disservice. The food is probably worthy of a Michellen star. Absolutely every detail thought through and perfect. Service was another level too, from the welcome I actually remarked the greeter must be the owner, then thought the same of the waiter, and I think the chef might be too. Cause they really really have their who passion put into every moment. Asked about wine as I was stuck between deciding between two. The waiter knew all about the wines and where most waiters just I like x, instead he asked what I liked normally and we picked a fantastic bottle. Food was packed with flavour and balance. Steak perfectly cooked. Portions were just right. Price was also just right. Left feeling it was great value for money, that we should come back soon. For me this would now be rated as one of the top 3 Restaurants in Dublin.

Great restaurant offering beautiful range of modern cuisine dishes in a lovely part of Dublin. Select from the Michelin guide for Dublin...just loved it...we came in for the early bird menu and it was superb .

Here to celebrate a birthday! So so tasty, great location, lovely staff! The oysters and duck starter are a must and the date pudding with gingerbread ice cream is delicious

Pork pie, glazed rib, carrot, cavolo nero, fondant potato, jus Wild garlic gnocchi, pickled shimeji mushrooms, Cashel blue cheese, hazelnut, cep cream Lemon tart, meringue, basil, sorbet Richmond chips For some reason I feel like Richmond just isn 't talked enough for some reason. I haven 't been here in a long time, and I 'm very glad to have come back, especially considering their pre theatre/early bird menu is such great value. The gnocchi starter was a big surprise the gnocchi was incredibly soft, fluffy and melting in the mouth. Despite that, it tasted and mouth felt very light, thanks to the gnocchi texture, sharpness of blue cheese and tang from the mushrooms. The pie main was meatily luscious. The pie might seem small, but considering it was jammed full of crumbly, savoury pork meat, it was just right. The rib was a nice touch and was moreish in the way only ribs can evoke. The purée, carrot and spud fondant were great contrasts to the meat; brightening, complementing and refreshing the meatiness with vegetal sweetness. The dessert was nice, but a bit of a let down as the soft lemon filling couldn 't hold well against the harder, sturdy 'crust ', meaning it was a bit awkward to eat with a spoon (I almost wish I just picked it up like a sandwich biscuit). The main noteworthy thing that brought this dessert forward was the sesame tuile/praline thingies. Though delicious, because the rest of the dish was relatively subtle, it did overpower things. Special shout out to the Richmond chips extremely well done spuds with a thin but crisp and crunchy exterior, and a tender, fluffy and moist interior.

Wonderful experience at Richmond, in a city where it's not that easy to find food worth its price. Food is delicious and well cooked, staff is also very nice and professional. Went twice and will definitely come back again. Plus the pastry chef is french
