Darkey Kelly's in Dublin

23/09/2026: What an awesome little restaurant! Great vibe of energy and the smell of good food cooking, with cool music playing in the background. I had the seafood chowder, and it was outstanding. The small bread pieces appetizer was very good, but the focacia bread served with the soup was heavenly. The peach/chocolate dessert was fantastic as well! This place is a 10!

13/09/2026: First time eating in the Vintage Kitchen and it was a great experience. Ian and the other waitress whose name I didn't catch had the place running like clockwork and were very charming. It's a small space but I felt that lent to the atmosphere which is cosy and buzzing. The food was a knockout. We shared a shellfish in sauce starter which I will be thinking of for some time to come and then lamb and pork. All excellent. The wines, and their prices, are different from those on the website but are inkeeping with standard Dublin prices and they were very happy to allow us to try the Rioja before we got a bottle. We emerged full, happy and in need of a guinness to complete a perfect lunch which with Mulligans and other great options nearby is in easy reach. Thanks all. Mark&Maria.
