The MICHELIN Guide noted the "infectious buzz" of Kaldero & its "big, punchy flavours" when it was listed less than 6 months after opening. This is a restaurant totally unique to Dublin: Filipino classics & regional specialities, cooked over fire on custom Smokin Soul Grill, with ingredients from some of the best producers in Ireland & specially sourced Filipino staples, food thats familiar yet different.Chef Richie Castillo & Sous Chef Ben Lozada (prev. Liath) tell the story of The Philippines through the regional food they grew up with. Pig's head sisig, Chicken Inasal, Adobo Pusit, oxtail Kare Kare, Richie's Lola's leche flan & the Dynamite Lumpia the Guide singled out.Behind it is Bahay, Richie's Irish-Filipino food project featured in Condé Nast Traveller, National Geographic & The Observer, with nods from Nigella Lawson & Jamie Oliver. Kaldero has also been named in the Sunday Times & McKenna Guides' 100 Best Restaurants in Ireland & the Irish Times' 100 Great Restaurants.
