Beneath the shadow of an iconic Dublin landmark, three masterful chefs have come together to introduce an unparalleled culinary experience to the city. Kaldero is more than a restaurant; it’s a fusion of Eastern tradition and bold, contemporary flair that brings the finest Chinese, Indian, and Filipino flavours to a striking new dining destination.

Under the expert hands of culinary icons Alfred Prasad, Daren Liew, and Richie Castillo, each dish at Kaldero reflects the extraordinary talent and artistry of its creators.

The dining space at Kaldero is a feast for the eyes, designed to complement the artistry on the plate. Rich, reclaimed timber, genuine terracotta tiling, and warm natural materials envelop the room, creating an intimate yet sophisticated setting.

Setting the stage for a truly immersive experience, the music at Kaldero is curated by neo-soul artist Uly, whose selection fills the room with vibrant layers of sound that are as dynamic as the dishes themselves.

Our drinks hadn’t even arrived at this point. It’s as if it wasn’t cooked fresh. The food overall was disappointing, which is a shame. It has great potential but overall lacking flavor.

It was standing tall on the plate, a big no, I would serve the seabass without the head. It looked so bad I nearly died looking at it. Chicken 65 was too cold and too crispy couldn't taste the chicken . Everything else was lovely and tasty. I would say serve the food a bit hotter. It was very quiet at the time we were there. Maybe three tables full, food should have been on top, fresh, scalding hot, bit too cold for us. I would of liking it to be served hotter. Place is lovely. Staff are lovely. I probably won't return. Lovely experience

From the moment we arrived, we were graciously accommodated, setting a warm and welcoming tone for the afternoon. Kelan, our server, was exceptionally attentive and friendly, making sure we were well taken care of throughout our visit. As for the food—everything we ordered was absolutely delicious! Each dish was thoughtfully prepared and bursting with Asian flavours, leaving us thoroughly impressed. The cozy and ambient atmosphere added to the overall experience, making it the perfect spot for an enjoyable meal. I’m thrilled that there’s finally a restaurant that properly serves and highlights authentic Filipino dishes. I highly recommend Kaldero and look forward to returning soon!

We ordered a few small plates and we were satisfied at the end. The Laing and the mussels are a must! I would add that the place was very busy and we waited more than usual to be seated. Table service was ok, server seemed to be working a section too big for her. No drinks or dessert menu were offered we had to ask ourselves, not to mention the wait to get our cocktails. Hope service improves as they get settled in!
