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.
