EATOKYO ON WELLINGTON QUAY [A GOOD ALTERNATIVE TO THE CAPEL STREET RESTAURANT WHICH HAS CLOSED]
I was deeply saddened by the closure of the Capel Street Eatokyo Restaurant on 26 January 2025, having become a regular patron. My weekly Wednesday lunch with friends, known to the staff as the "Wednesday Table", was a particular highlight. Pre-pandemic, our larger group explored various eateries, but many favourites sadly closed or transitioned to evening-only service. Eatokyo on Capel Street became a reliable choice, fulfilling our lunchtime needs.
News of the Capel Street branch's closure prompted us to seek alternatives, a quest that proved challenging. Several group members preferred to avoid Temple Bar, ruling out the Wellington Quay Eatokyo. We had, over the years, built relationships with numerous restaurant owners and managers, but none were willing to open before 4 or 5 pm. Eventually, our "Wednesday Table" became the "Thursday Table", and after trying approximately ten different restaurants, we settled on another venue on Capel Street. Despite this, and even considering dining later in the day, I've decided that the Eatokyo on Wellington Quay will be my personal lunchtime preference going forward. It's a worthy successor to the Capel Street branch, and conveniently located just ten minutes from my home.
