CRUDO restaurant 11 Sandymount Road, County Dublin D04 DH32

"Food was amazing and such a nice and welcoming atmosphere. The staff really know their stuff, and lovely to chat with. Definitely going back again."

"For people who say “it’s only food,” they simply have never been to Crudo; an Italian bistro that needs to be recognized for its simply amazing food, and wait staff that know what they are doing. The waiter we had, both times we stopped in on our trip knew how to entice us to get the starter and the dessert without being pushy. He knew which wine to recommend. His timing was impeccable. The food!!! I can’t believe I didn’t take a picture of my dish! I ordered Beef Cheek Risotto. I am telling you people, I almost cried. The flavors were rich, savory and complex. The portion was huge. The meat fell apart as if I was cutting through buttah! Soooo very delicious, the Risotto was PERFECT. Celebrating our last night in Dublin, I am so happy that we celebrated here. Crudo is the real deal where you can dress up, or as a tourist like I had to. Go cry, go eat, go drink good wine. And have the Tiramisu. For God’s sake, Have it!"

"It was divine! I had the olives, bruschetta, and tiramisu. Ironically, this is the best food that I've had in Ireland!"

"A really lovely experience was had for our first trip to Sandymount’s most talked about spot. A reservation was a must because it was packed out! The food was really nice, and a review of a restaurant feels unfair after only tasting 4 of their many dishes. The mussell starters were quite small and lacked some magic, but the salmon starter was packed with fresh flavours. Our mains took about 20 mins to arrive as they were very busy. The Beetroot risotto was very tasty and cooked perfectly, while the Braised Short Rib was unfortunately a bit dry. But the sauce, purée and pistachio carrots helped to elevate it. Lastly the staff couldn’t have been nicer and more welcoming, offering great wine reccomendations with a smile. Everything photographed, plus two glasses of wine came to €90. Check this spot out and get a table while you can!!"

"What a gem! First time dining at Crudo and we had an exceptional meal. The bruschetta was bursting with flavor from the tomatoes and Burrata. The salmon was phenomenal and we really enjoyed the squid ink pasta which had a nice hint of spice from the njuda. The manager was super friendly and knowledgeable. She helped us pick an excellent Italian Chardonnay that was crips and paired well with our meal. Highly recommend."
