Clodagh’s Kitchen

This place is on the top floor of arnotts and is also packed around lunch time! Nice menu but could do with being changed/​updated on a more regular basis.
Also a nice little spot to stop for a herbal tea or coffee break while shopping!
Last time I went I got the beef cheek risotto which was nice but a very heavy lunch time dish! The super food salad looked great.

Nice place to go to when shopping on the north side! It’s located in arnotts and the food was ok. The waiters were so polite. Portions are good but I wasn’t mad about the place.

Great service, great food, loooovely coffee, and often quite packed!
It’s a busy little open space with plenty of light and pleasant décor.
I met a friend here for coffee and we also had lunch. We both tried the soup and really liked it. It can be slightly pricey but the portions are decent enough.
You can also pick up a loyalty card, and if you have an Arnotts Wonder card, you can gain points on that too!

Called in for breakfast today. It wasn’t too busy yet service was unbelievably slow. Order was wrong. By the time they brought the toast breakfast was cold. Ordered tea when breakfast arrived. Tea arrived when we had finished. Partner paid bill without looking at it and they overcharged. Overcharge was small, yet still very annoying.

We got the chicken caesar salad and pâté in here today. Pâté was lovely and came with a mango relish. Chicken caesar salad was also lovely but it did come with a few ingredients that are definitely not in keeping with this dish traditionally. Pumpkin seeds and no croutons! What no croutons in a caesar salad… OMG! Instead you got this pastry bread stick thing… no no no no no… It just doesn’t go in fairness there are very few decent places to grab lunch on Henry Street so this place definitely does the trick for some r & r in nice surroundings.

Don’t bother. The food is not great, portions are tiny and extremely overpriced.

Situated on the top floor of Arnott’s this is a bit further up the food chain than your usual department store restaurant. One of the sort where the chefs are doing their thing in sight of the customers so every so often there’s flames & things going on in your peripheral vision. Something to watch whilst the wait staff take their time to get round to serving you (possibly one too few on duty when I was in though).
Price-​wise there’s no chance of forgetting you’re in Dublin. My selection of mini burgers (with needlessly toasted buns, making them nigh on impossible to eat pleasantly) was nicely presented & the meat was fine as these things go. The accompanying fried potatoes were very tasty & the sauce and mustard were ample. I’d had no breakfast so this did the trick & essentially it saw me past tea too but the equivalent of £14 for one course & a pot of tea isn’t something you’d opt for every day.
