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.

    Had a lovely valentines meal, can’t recommend this restaurant enough. The service was fabulous, ordered some small plates, a large plate and sides and the flavour was 10/10. So tasty❤️ the cocktails were so yummy. We’re visiting from belfast and my takeaway was we need a Kaldero in Belfast.

    Cocktails were excellent, however the chicken was dry, pork belly was just entirely fat with no / minimal meat. Unfortunate considering the price of the dishes.

    The pictures of this place on Instagram doesn’t even do it justice. The food was amazing & the cocktails were so unique and delicious. Now adding this as my favourite restaurant in Dublin - must visit! Also, the staff were so lovely & their service was amazing. I will be recommending this place to everyone I know!

    Good food, but expensive. A bit rushed on this occasion, was told the table booking was 90 minutes with another booking coming, server ask about food before drinks. No forks and had to ask for side plates for the mains.

    The octopus main was extremely rubbery and overpowered by the charred taste. Paying €25 for a dish which tasted as if the octopus was defrosted and cooked then cooled again to be once reheated spoiled the whole experience and sense of value. The menu is incredibly exciting with many new tastes to try not often found in Dublin but for the service and cost asked, the experience was not worth it.

    Classic Press-up group experience. Beautiful interiors and overall great attentive service from the staff. However, when it comes to the food this is where clearly the focus is on making the experience instagrammable rather than culinary. The dishes are quite expensive, while portions are on the smaller side. The staff obsessively asked if we wanted more drinks (this is by no means a critique to the staff but rather to the practices set by press up on their employees to constantly try to upsell). Overall this is the type of restaurant that you go once, and probably never again.

    The food is quite interesting - lots of tasty small plates and unusual combos. The service is just weirdly bad. We had a 8pm booking. We had our first bite of food at 9:15pm. It was a struggle to get drinks , water, etc. even getting the bill at the end involved leaving the table to find someone. They said they had a “big table” (it was 8 people) but that doesn’t really explain it.
