Kicky’s is one of the best dining experiences in Dublin 2. The food is full of flavour, beautifully served, and the atmosphere is always lively yet relaxed. A special mention goes to Heather, our waitress — she has so much knowledge about the menu and products, and her service was polite, professional, and wonderfully attentive. She really made the evening extra enjoyable. Highly recommend Kicky’s for both the amazing food and the excellent service!

Sensational restaurant in the heart of Dublin. Do the tasting menu, excellent value and incredible food. Ivet is the best waitress I’ve ever met.

Overall a great meal and attentive service. The table we were at was a bit of an odd on for 3 people (on person on the end, the other 2 along the length). Decor and atmosphere was lively. We had the Taste of Kicky's. The small bites were great - croquettes were just the right level of richness and the bread and butter was moreish. The starters were okay - baked apricot and mussels were refreshing but otherwise simple and nice, and the ragu was delicious and savoury. We were served a pesto genovese instead of a cacio e pepe, which was a bit of a letdown. The pesto sauce itself was a nice texture, but overall lacked any noteworthy garlic, cheese or basil flavour. Main courses were almost perfect - lots of sides which were great, particularly the rice. The striploin was intensely meaty, umami and a stellar steak. The chicken piri-piri was a delightful surprise; tender, juicy and great flavours with just the right amount of spice. The only letdowns were the John Dory - the cockles and sauce had a sort of 'gameyness' (though that could be just my personal taste). Also, one of the salads had a richer, fatty sauce which was a bit too rich without any salt, sweet or sour sharpness to lighten it. Forgot to photograph desserts but the burnt Basque cheesecake was delicious - hints of vanilla and caramel paired wonderfully with the not-too-aserbic blackberries and sorbet. However, the "Irish Coffee" (what I imagine is a rebranded version of the original tiramisu on the menu) was the biggest disappointment. The mascarpone added nothing against such a large scoop of espresso ice cream. The macaron base was the worst - not enough substance to counterbalance all the ice cream and sauce, and it also seemed stale; it required elbow grease to cut through with the spoon. The ice cream had a wonderful, intense coffee taste (one of the best I've tasted), however it did have some ice crystals.
