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.

I got a last minute table after work on Friday & enjoyed a super meal at Richmond. My choices were available on early bird menu and we went with that ( it’s super value!).
Started with an incredible broth (smoked bacon ) with pig and black pudding dumpling with glazed cheek ( I could have eaten a main course of this ! Followed by a pasta main with a crispy egg ,Marsala sauce and meaty oyster mushrooms. The oozing egg worked so well with the other ingredients.
My husband got the dish of the night (boned and rolled duck with duck fat potato ) plus a side of their delicious chips,
I couldn’t fit in dessert but I’m reliably told (!!) that the chocolate fondant shouldn’t be missed - See pictures!
Super place, creative and every changing menu .... top service.
Loved it. I keep returning as it’s one of my favourites in Dublin.

From the moment I called to reserve a table, this was a delightful experience. The person on the phone was courteous, friendly and professional. We arrived to be greeted warmly and shown to our table. The Brazilian waitress was lovely, our food delicious in perfect size portions ( onion soup, dexter beef tasting plate and date pudding for me) and the French wine sublime. The ambience was good, busy but not in any way loud with cozy decor. We left with very warm fuzzy feeling vowing to return as soon as we could find the time. They even thanked us for our custom at the end. I am almost reluctant to write this rave review in case it means we can’t get a table next time we try to book but such a gorgeous place should get the recognition it deserves!

I went to The Richmond on a dinner date with my partner before going to see a play. We walked despite the miserable weather and were warmly greeted inside the restaurant where they sat us close to the kitchen so that we could hopefully dry off and warm up. The food was fantastic and a great price. We did the early bird special and got three courses each. The staff were so kind and helpful, could not have had a better experience. Would highly recommend to everyone going to Dublin.

This was the last restaurant I dined at before lockdown and it’s hard to think back to that time when we all freely moved about the city without a care in the world. In lockdown Richmond has started a collection service and it’s super good. Menu is available each Monday and changes weekly.
I’ve enjoyed the barley risottos , the pressed duck, fish gratins , assorted veg sides and innovative desserts - I’m a fan.
Please support the hard working and talented team at this challenging time, need to book ahead due to demand and limited numbers.

The restaurant is small, relaxed and atmospheric. The choices on the menu are limited but I prefer quality to breadth of range. We enjoyed an 'early bird' which was extremely good value. The price of the wine on the menu was also reasonable in comparison to other similar properties in Dublin. The service was professional, friendly and efficient, best of all, the food was really good so all round this really is an excellent choice. I think this is one of those rare establishments where the restaurant places the customer and the experience ahead of making money, nice to eat out and feel that you really did get an experience worth the price. Deserves all the positive reviews and continued success, well done.

We ate in Richmond last night, which was our second visit and I can't wait to go back again. Every single mouthful of food was absolutely delicious. The service was perfect and the whole place spotless. My partner has some quite specific dietary needs so the chef redesigned one of the specials plate for her. The wine that was recommended to me, to accompany the melt in the mouth beef was gorgeous. Congratulations to everyone involved in Richmond. It really is a gem.

My boyfriend and I went to Richmond for dinner last night and cannot put in words how amazing the whole experience was.
Our table was on the second floor, where the low lights and private ambience gave a romantic atmosphere to our date. Staff was lovely to us from the beginning to the end and looked happy to be working there. The waitress looking after us was really friendly and helpful, as she recommended great wine that paired well with the dishes we picked.
The food, however, was the big star of the night. We had a croquettes for snacks and three delicious starters, one of them my favorite dish of the night - the heirloom tomatoes with Bloody Mary sorbet, an explosion of flavors I’d never tried before. My main course was the pork presa, cooked to perfection, amazingly presented and well-balanced. We shared an almond and pistachio cake with dessert wine which wrapped up our dinner with perfection.
Highly recommend the restaurant, best food I’ve ever had. Will be coming back!Thanks for making our evening so special.

Had an early dinner at Richmond last night - delicious fish tart with dill to start followed by an earthy tasting bowl of mussels with chorizo ( accompanied by their tdf chips) and lastly an incredible rhubarb dessert. ( see pictures)
Lamb neck was also a hit ( served 3 ways).
Super food that suits all tastes.
Winning formula. Super value early bird menu too if you’re in town after work or after a day of shopping.
Top marks to the team.

It is always a real test to see if when revisiting a restaurant it lives up to wonderful past experience. Well the reopened Richmond Restaurant was every bit as good as I remember pre Covid closure, if not better than ever. The Early Bird was a absolute treat, limited menu, tasted superb and beautifully presented and good value. Friendly atmosphere topped off a wonderful evening!

This was the first time for all of us at this restaurant and we will be back. The service was understated but attentive just how it should be. The food was simply great. From starters to main to dessert (which we struggled with having eaten every morsel of the others courses). There was one item on my main course that I thought was pork belly - of which I am not a fan - but to my delight it was very finely layered potatoes cooked in the most gorgeous broth and I would suspect covered in butter but gosh did it taste good! Please go and enjoy as much as we did. PS One tiny point it is not a huge restaurant so it is a bit on the tight side and can get a bit warm. But otherwise fab.

Greeted at the front door, taken to our table upstairs all safe and inline with Covid-19 regulations. Handed the menu and then our server brought us through the specials. We went for Mussels, peas, white wine cream, sourdough and Duck leg & pudding sausage roll, fried egg, celeriac, brown sauce to start. Couldn't fault either. For mains we both went for the daily special, one for a 7oz Dexter Ribeye Steak and one fillet of Halibut, both excellent, the fish was slightly cold but didn't take-away from the taste. For dessert we both had Lemon posset, berries, honeycomb, divine.
The service was excellent, not rushed but attentive with nice space between each course.
Bill was €130 for x 2. 3 courses with 2 glasses of red wine and 1 N/A beer.
Highly recommend Richmond, thanks to Russel and his team.

Thank you very much CuriousTripper45 for taking the time to review Richmond so favourably. We are delighted to at last be able to reopen fully, and in such uncertain times your custom and positivity is very much appreciated. I am fortunate to be surrounded by the same excellent staff we had before lockdown, in particular our talented stalwart Head Chef, David O’Byrne, without whom none of this would probably have been possible.
We look forward to taking care of you again in the near future, and thank you again.

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.

Hello Caroline,
Thank you for taking the time to review and my apologies for the delay in your receiving this reply.
We used to regularly vary the bread but the requests and the demand for the Guinness and treacle brown means it has won out, at least for the time being.

This restaurant is a culinary gem. The size of the restaurant gives it a cozy intimate feel. The presentation of each dish was superb and the dishes were so flavorsome. We went for the early evening menu which was very reasonably priced considering the quality and presentation of each dish. I had the goats cheese fig salad followed by the ham hock, glazed cheek, sausage gougere, turnip,pickled walnut, jus. For dessert I chose the chocolate fondant.
The owner/chef was genuinely helpful in advising us of the appetisers we could order and the most suitable wines to pair with our dishes. We ended up ordering a bottle of Portuguese Doura and a glass of Riesling.
I was really impressed by the food, beautiful Michelin quality dishes and reasonably priced. Thanks for a wonderful dining experience.
