Comet

Kevin O’Donnell and Laura Chabal’s Comet opened just off Dawson Street in Summer 2025 with little fanfare, but within weeks the critics (us included) had proclaimed it one of the most exciting restaurants to open in Dublin in recent memory. O’Donnell’s Scandi-influenced cooking feels genuinely unique in Dublin right now, as do the small site’s paired back bistro vibes, and the wine list is an event in itself. The quail on toast is already a thing of legend – if ever dare to take it off the menu they’ll have an angry mob at the door.
