Kaldero is an Irish-Filipino restaurant.

Led by chef Richie Castillo, it’s the first of its kind in Ireland.

“We’re not here to introduce, elevate or repackage the food of The Philippines. We’re here to celebrate it. To honour it.”

We cook with alaga (care), with apoy (fire), and with ingredients that make sense for where we are. Working with producers we trust and admire, by the land we live on. This isn’t about fusion or substitution. It’s about making food that reflects both where we come from, and where we are now. We cook Filipino food. But we cook it here. That’s always been part of the story.

This isn’t a concept. It’s a restaurant.

And we’d rather show you than explain.

Food & Drink

Lasap (Taste)

The menu is built to be shared. Pulutan-style bar snacks, with smaller and larger plates that land together.

We’re not chasing authenticity.
We’re cooking from lived experience.
With what we know. What we’ve trained for. With the food we’ve grown up eating.

Tanaw (See)

The kitchen and space is shaped by many perspectives. Our team brings experience from all over the world. Different roots, different reference… but a shared understanding that the food we cook and eat, is a core part of who we are.

Art director Irene Ho curates a rotating selection of work by Filipino, Irish-Filipino, and Southeast Asian artists: Sinead Cabagan, Louise Cortez, Clarissa Kelly, among others.

Marinig (Hear)

The space is brought alive with life, energy and music from the Irish-Filipino community. You’ll hear Tagalog words, music curated by Irish-Filipino DJs and artists, and the sounds coming from the kitchen.
