Assassination Custard

19 Kevin Street Upper, Dublin 8

The food: Seasonal, Italian, Middle Eastern

Run by couple Kevin and Gwen Doherty, this tiny, special cafe serves seasonal small plates, where the menu depends on what they can get from the market that week. Be prepared for a short wait for a table (as there are only two), and you might have to share one but that’s part of the experience. Only open Tuesday - Friday for lunch with free BYOB. Cash only.
