The Seafood Cafe - by Klaw Temple Bar

Next we moved to The Seafood Cafe by Klaw in Temple Bar , Niall Sabongi was so passionate about sourcing the correct seafood from Irish waters and the influence the local land has on the seafood. We were presented with a Bloody Mary on arrival. We got to compare oysters from the West Coast and East Coast, try hand dived raw scallop, squid and urchin. We ate our oysters, naked and natural.

I was delighted to see Flaggy shore oysters, I have a real connection with this beautiful place as my brother in-law lived there for many years. On regular visits to the area we used to feast on oysters, mussels and crab.

The restaurant has a lovely rustic menu presentation and decor as can be seen from the photo above. If you haven't been to visit Klaw yet I suggest you visit asap and let Niall inspire you to love the fabulous seafood we have in our waters, a taste of the sea not a fishy smell! Freshly shucked oysters and scallops daily.

The cafe is located in the centre of Temple Bar, on a shopping trip in town this Christmas I recommend you pop in to taste some of the fabulous seafood with a drink to match! There is a counter top you can sit at, under the salt cod in the photo above or a booth you can sit in, so go on your own or with friends. On each table there is a bottle of hot sauce, tabasco and Old Bay seasoning.
