First time eating here and we were very impressed. Lovely atmosphere, food and service. Ours was a date night for myself and my wife, to round off a pre-Christmas afternoon in town.

Richmond Restaurant - Portobello Dublin. Last night the team produced the best meal we've had so far in England and Ireland. (Travelling four nations in the Christmas period) Beautiful, confident, bold and complex, all in good measure. The restaurant has been in operation for about nine years and is a well oiled machine. If you're anywhere near Dublin then seek this place out.

Overall, the food and drinks are good. The service is also good except that we keep reminding the servers for our additional order. The place itself is cosy and nice to hang out with friends. I'd say it's not really family friendly because there is no lift for kids and buggy. But, the staffs are friendly enough to assists us in bringing our buggy up and down. Also, place was so warm when we were eating, barely find it relaxing. All in all, I highly recommend it especially if your celebrating parties wherein you're wanna hanging out with friends with nice food and good drinks 🍸 😉
