Koda in Deansgrange has become a firm favourite of ours, and for good reason. Whether we're popping in for a relaxed weekend brunch or settling in for a cosy dinner, the experience is always consistently excellent.

The food is fresh, flavourful, and beautifully presented. Brunch is always spot on, while the dinner menu offers creative, well-executed dishes that go beyond the usual fare. The attention to detail in both taste and plating shows a real passion in the kitchen.
