Lekker Food Collection

Back into Lekker today for a quick bite of lunch! Delicious new Falafel salad (or wrap) with Whipped Feta, Beetroot, Cherry tomato/cucumber, carrot & apple salad, with pickled relish & baby leaves....So fresh & Delicious!

Great restaurant and cafe serving Irish and South African food. Really enjoyed and can recommend their South African drinks and food in particular!

Delicious food and very nice and friendly service. The pain au chocalat are exceptionally good! We had breakfast twice there and it was delicious both times. Can highly recommend.

Tremendous homemade bread, cakes etc and a nice welcome

Popped in for a quick bite. The sausage rolls were delicious - flaky pastry, nice carmalized onion type relish, nice sausage itself. Got the 4 for 5€ deal, warmed. I couldn’t skip on a sweet treat for a few more quid - picked up a huge palmier (broke in half in my photo) that was light and buttery; the chocolate chip cookie was massive and my husband raved about it when I got it home.

I went there with a group of South-Africans. We had heard about it in the Irish Times and my expectations were high. All of the three SA dishes I tried, were very spicy. We were informed in advance but it's still too much as the remaining options weren't great and could have been spicy too. They had a small selection of bread and pastries which are homemade by their French owner and looked great. Next time I will try one of the French dishes instead. My SA friends were all very happy with their food. They must be used to the very spicy food.

A Culinary Gem in Thomastown – Lekker Had the absolute pleasure of dining at Lekker, a beautiful independent artisan restaurant and café in Thomastown, run by the incredibly talented French-South African chef duo, Ashika and Julien. I attended their monthly supper club, and the whole evening was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The passion for food and creativity was clear in every detail. Each of the three courses was stunning — beautifully plated and absolutely delicious. The quality, presentation, and originality were outstanding. Huge thanks to the chefs for sharing your passion and creating something so special. Can’t wait to return for the next supper club! If you haven’t been yet, it’s well worth a visit. Highly recommended!

Wowsers what a fantastic eatary. I was across the road in The Green Angel and Rosie recommended Lekkers to me, for which I am forever grateful. To be fair from the outside it looks so unassuming and the decor is minimalist but quirky. I ordered the honey fried chicken and man oh man was the bar set to an almighty high, fried chicken never tasted so cluckin good and I'm not sure if it ever will again. The batter had a nice pinch of South African spices mixed in and it was both sticky and crunchy all at the same time, the chicken was juicy and succulent and those black pepper crumpets were a taste explosion. There was a wait because it's made to order and my Goddess was it worth it - 'ell yeah I live in South Kildare and I'm so coming back to try some more and get in for opening and grab a freshly baked bread, by lunch time there wasn't a loaf to be had. It's been a while since a cafe has wowed me beyond wow. The staff are lovely and very helpful and chatty. I will be back
