"Tucked down a lane off super-central Dawson Street, on the site of a former wine bar, new arrival Comet is a European-style bistro that's got foodies in the Irish capital all aflutter. The pedigree of the team who run it is impressive: chef Kevin O'Donnell cut his teeth at Dublin favorite Bastible before working in starry kitchens in Denmark and returning home to roll out popular supper clubs."
"Along the way he met his wife, Laura Chabal, who now brilliantly runs the front of house at Comet, which they set up with O'Donnell's old Bastible bosses. Anyone feeling daring can roll the dice on the four-course carte blanche for $90. Otherwise, there's liver parfait with fermented blood oranges, a Wagyu featherblade skewer with anchovy, and a quail roasted on toast with vin jaune sauce that some critics have named their dish of the year. The brilliant low-intervention wine list is a worthy pairing"
Dublin's restaurant scene has recently surged in quality, driven by young chefs trained in Denmark, New York, and London. European-style bistros and neighborhood cafés now champion sustainability and inventive second acts from local favorites. Global flavors reflect a growing multicultural population, and new hotels provide accommodation for varied travelers after culinary exploration. Comet exemplifies the trend with a skilled team, daring tasting menus, standout dishes, and a low-intervention wine list that complements refined, ingredient-focused cooking. Pubs remain central to nightlife, while restaurants now offer diverse options for indulgent dining across the city.
