SPACE JARU

You'll find this Korean-Japanese spot tucked into Meath Street, where The Liberties is quietly becoming one of Dublin's most exciting food destinations. The space feels intimate without being cramped, with clean lines and warm lighting that lets the food do the talking. Their approach to Korean-Japanese fusion is proper thoughtful – not just throwing kimchi on everything and calling it fusion. The menu changes regularly but expect things like perfectly executed gyoza, inventive takes on Korean classics, and some seriously good sake to wash it down. The service strikes that sweet spot between attentive and relaxed, and you can tell the staff actually know their stuff when it comes to explaining dishes.
