i'll preface this by saying that i like the idea behind alchemy and the really inventive approach they take to their food. with that said, i've eaten here twice (well, i've taken their lunchboxes for takeaway), and on both occasions - the asian-inspired cabbage rolls and the leek & carrot nut loaf - i felt that the food was a bit blander than i was hoping for. i think with a few tweaks to the recipes it could be an excellent addition to dublin's food scene though, so i'll check in again in a few months. the people-watching potential, high up abovegraftonst., is second to none!
