Dede [dede], also called Dede@Customs House,[2] is a Turkish restaurant in Baltimore, County Cork, Ireland. It was awarded its first Michelin star in 2021 and a second in 2023.
History
[edit]Head chef Ahmet Dede, a native of Ankara, was previously head chef at Mews, another Michelin-starred restaurant in Baltimore. He founded Dede in 2020 with business partner Maria Archer.[3] It opened on 27 April.[4]
Instead of the elaborate tasting menu found in most modern haute cuisine restaurants, Dede serves "a less formal dinner with fewer but larger courses."[5] The food is sourced from Cape Clear Island and other local County Cork producers.[6]
Dede received a Michelin star in 2021; the Guide Michelin recommended the lobster kebab with isot pepper; wild Irish venison with buckwheat and orange; and the hazelnut baklava.[7] It won a second star in 2023.
