NEKO
20 Dublin Street, Carlow, R93 C7D4
About
NEKO does ramen, gyoza, bento and wok dishes at 20 Dublin Street, and the room is as much of the point as the food. The owner, Simon, built the tables himself out of Irish timber, burr oak, yew, birch and ash, and the centrepiece is a hollow Irish yew trunk finished in resin under a canopy of artificial cherry blossom. It is open seven days, from lunchtime until ten at night, which makes it one of the more useful kitchens in town on a Monday or Tuesday when several of the others are closed. Book through its online page or ring; for a same-day table or a big group the restaurant asks you to phone.
