Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Very good. Quality food, well presented, fairly priced. Attentive and pleasant service. Have paid similar money for a much worse experience, so while not cheap, you don't feel ripped off.

Easy online reservation, call back for confirmation. Tiny, small location, nice atmosphere. Small menu. Excellent food and wine! Friendly, perfect service.

Richmond is not inviting from the outside. It is a rather small and unadorned storefront in a not very appealing neighborhood. But inside the experience is very upscale. The restaurant is very small: perhaps a dozen tables on the main floor. There might have been...more up the steep, narrow staircase, but I'm not sure. We were lucky to score a table without a reservation, but I certainly wouldn't recommend that to others. The food is the central attraction here. The menu is very limited: three permanent entrees and one special a night. I had halibut that was special that night and it was quite excellent. My sons had steak that they greatly enjoyed. I can't imagine ordering something that wasn't a real treat. The service was very good, as well. Prices are a bit high, but the value is certainly there.More

Nice atmosphere, not pretentious. Fast service initially and then a long wait for bill, new cutlery between courses. Good brown bread with Guiness butter (just tasted like plain butter). Two or three course early menu. Good appetizers - delicious tomato salad and seafood sausage. Very...good main - ox cheek, with mushrooms and Swiss chard. Almond cake with peaches was also good.More

Really fabulous food. I got the steak and the jus was the best I have ever had. Still thinking about it! Perfect fat chips to mop up every trace. Lovely wine - I think it was chardonnay although I did not choose it. Great coffee....Great service. Nice decor. It is pricey but you will feel like you had a great experience. If I was to find one criticism I did not think the brown bread muffins were a success although I was in the minority there.More

Outstanding, we’ve travelled around Ireland for the past two weeks and this was our stand out meal. Excellent value for money and the service was impeccable. The food was next level excellent. Flavours and presentation exceeded reviews - this is saying something! This restaurant is...a not to be missed experience.More

My wife and I recently dined at the Richmond Restaurant. We selected from the specials menu. We had a starter each, 1 chicken starter and 1 fish starter. For main course we shared the Chateaubriand which was absolutely excellent and cooked to perfection. For dessert...we shared the cheese board. The wine menu was very good and we selected a red French Malbec. For a Michelin recommended restaurant we found it to be quite reasonably priced. Service was excellent and the staff very welcoming and friendly.More

This is a quality Bistro with great food, obviously a well run kitchen using great ingredients and flair. The food is a lot better than most restaurants in Dublin and price for quality is great.

Great dinner here. Small restaurant with wonderful food & service. Would recommend. My husband had the lobster and I had the pork dish. Both were very good. Save room for the date pudding! Wish I could get the recipe from the restaurant.

I’ve been meaning to review this fabulous restaurant for ages and whilst in TripAdvisor I’ve finally taken the time to do it. Although I’m based in London I stay in Dublin about once every six weeks and luckily that’s just around the corner from The...Richmond. I’ve been six or seven times over the last few years and hands down it’s my favourite restaurant - not just in Dublin but full stop. It’s not even about the price but the fact that they can offer a 3 course early bird menu until 6.30 for (at the time of writing) €39 represents superb value Being just around the corner means we can check it out at short notice to see if we’re lucky enough to grab a spare table. The menu changes with reasonable frequency (just eyeing up the latest one not yet tried!) but so far has never disappointed with its brilliant combinations of tastes and textures. The presentation is always a delight for the eyes and executed with such delicacy and precision. I know I’m in danger of sounding a bit over the top but when I find something worth raving about I can’t help myself. More and more I find myself in other places (often with higher price points) saying “but at the Richmond….” hence the gold standard of the title. They’ve deservedly received the Bib Gourmand award from the Michelin Guide - like writing this review, I’ve been meaning to check out exactly what that is, and thanks to Google I now know Michelin rate “our best value for money restaurants – offering a three course meal at a reasonable price – have been pointed out using a special award”. My only hesitation in writing this is that it might reduce the chance of us getting a table when we go for the Early Bird next time. Fingers crossed that spontaneity is our friend! Having said that, I think it’s time to give the monthly Tuesday tasting menu a shot. My mouth is already watering. :)More

I had high expectations when I made my reservation but everything was even better than expected. The service was very attentive and the food was excellent. Had the three course set menu and all three dishes were really good. The salmon and the cauliflower were...really something special. The arancini with ox cheek, which I took as a middle dish, was also fantastic I will definitely recommend this restaurant to everyone.More
