Babade is a sister restaurant to Dede’s - our 2 Star Michelin restaurant.

Our restaurant is inspired by a love of good food created using the wonderful fresh produce of West Cork, a love of sharing with our greater family and an appreciation of good times.

Family are intrinsic in the fabric of our restaurant, family members own the building and others work in the restaurant, we consider all of our team as family and our customers as an extension of our family and we are grateful to them. The building has been completely renovated and upgraded in 2024 which will preserve it for many more years to come.

The building has a great heritage of wonderful dining experiences and has been a restaurant for many, many years before us. Chef Ahmet Dede earned his first Michelin star in the building.

The very name itself expresses our ethos, it is named firstly after Aleyna, Ahmet’s daughter, it is the name that she calls her Grandmother, Dede is Turkish for Grandfather and baba is Turkish for Father, Baba is also Irish for baby so Baby Dede’s.

Quote from Michelin Guide Ireland - Bib Gourmand: good quality, good value cooking.

With a name meaning ‘Baby Dede’, this second Baltimore venture from Chef Ahmet Dede is an ode to his family and comes with all the homespun charm you’d expect. Located mere feet away from his acclaimed flagship restaurant, this is a more relaxed affair but the great value sharing plates retain the older sibling’s ethos of Turkish flavours married with Irish produce. Each dish – from a unique take on oyster chowder to Ahmet’s signature ‘içli köfte’ – is bright, fresh and wholly satisfying.
