About Dodi
A place for good food, good wine, and good company in the heart of Lahinch.
Our Story
Dodi began with a simple idea – to bring people together over great food and carefully chosen goods. With a name rooted in family, and a spirit shaped by Irish and Lebanese heritage, Dodi blends tradition with curiosity. What started as a small café by the sea has grown into a warm, lively space where everything – from the menu to the shelves – is chosen with care.
The Café
Located just off the waves of Lahinch, our café is a local favourite known for its seasonal food, fresh bakes, and exceptional coffee. With seating for around 20, Dodi is intentionally cosy, the kind of place where you’re greeted by name and tempted by the smell of coffee or something good from the oven. We serve breakfast, brunch and lunch daily, using ingredients that celebrate what’s fresh, local and in season.
The Stockroom
Tucked behind the café, the Dodi Stockroom is where we keep the treasures. From our favourite small-producer wines to hand-thrown ceramics and artisan glassware, every piece has been chosen with the same care we put into our food. Whether you’re looking for a bottle for the weekend, a gift with heart, or something to bring beauty to your everyday – you’ll find it here.
Meet The Team
Dodi is run by a small, passionate team who care deeply about what they serve and how they make people feel. From baristas who know your order to stockroom staff who love to recommend a wine, we’re proud of the crew who keep things running at Dodi.
Our Food
Our food is all about bold flavours, comforting textures, and a menu that changes with the seasons. Think slow mornings with Shakshuka eggs, midweek lunches with warm sourdough toasties, or a slice of cake you’ll want to come back for. Everything we serve is made in-house or sourced from producers we know and trust.
