Assassination Custard, a cherished cafe on Kevin Street in Dublin, will soon bid its loyal patrons farewell. Known for its low-profile yet exceptional culinary offerings, the cafe has garnered a dedicated following for nine years.<\/p>\n

Founded by the duo, Ken Doherty and Gwen McGrath, both renowned for their previous roles at esteemed establishments such as Cornucopia and Cafe Paradiso, Assassination Custard has been a beloved gem within Dublin’s vibrant culinary scene.<\/p>\n

Ken and Gwen took to their private Instagram account to express their heartfelt gratitude to the community for their unwavering support and patronage throughout the years. In a bittersweet message, they hinted at the possibility of returning in a different capacity, stating, “but not as you know it.”<\/p>\n

The cafe’s intriguing name draws inspiration from an event involving literary figures James Joyce, Nora Barnacle, and Samuel Beckett, adding an extra layer of allure to its identity. With its limited operating hours, only open for two hours each day from Monday to Thursday, Assassination Custard offers a unique and exclusive dining experience to its visitors.<\/p>\n

Notably, the cafe received international recognition when the New York Times featured it in a captivating piece in November 2023. Described as “a functional, yet cosy, eatery where the focus is on preparing extraordinary ingredients in striking ways,” Assassination Custard captivated audiences with its distinctive approach to culinary excellence.<\/p>\n

The impending closure of Assassination Custard marks the end of an era for Dublin<\/a>‘s culinary enthusiasts, leaving behind a legacy of exceptional food, warm hospitality, and a truly unforgettable dining experience. As the cafe prepares to close its doors, its impact on the local and international culinary landscape will undoubtedly be remembered with fondness and admiration.<\/p>\n
