Nicola Coughlan spotted in Galway at the opening of acclaimed Michelin-starred chef's new restaurant
The Galway native visited Kombu Ramen & Bao Bar over the weekend as she sampled the new eatery which offers Japanese cuisine on Druid Lane in Galway city. Nicola, who is best known for her roles as Clare Devlin in Derry Girls and Penelope Featherington in Bridgerton, posed alongside Kombu staff who welcomed her to the restaurant. The star spent the sunny weekend in her native Galway and looked delighted to be at home as she smiled with staff. Sharing a photo on social media, Kombu staff captioned the photo, 'A special guest on our opening weekend. 'Thanks @nicolacoughlan for joining us to celebrate our first few days @komburamenbaogalway.' The 38-year-old has a storied history in Galway, having grown up in Oranmore and attending Calasanctius College before graduating from University of Galway (then National University of Ireland Galway) with a degree in English and Classical Civilisation. Since her breakthrough role in Channel 4's hit comedy Derry Girls, Nicola has starred in popular Netflix drama Bridgerton, blockbuster film Barbie and comedy-drama, Big Mood. The Irish star splits her time between her hometown and London and made her red-carpet debut with her boyfriend, British actor Jake Dunn, at the Bafta TV and Craft awards nominees party in April. Kombu Ramen & Bao Bar officially opened on Druid Lane on July 11 and is the latest work by award-winning chef JP McMahon. Kombu's kitchen will be led by Gabriel Hoefling Ossani, who has worked with McMahon at the Michelin-starred Aniar restaurant in Galway city. The restaurant offers a casual-style experience featuring steaming bowls of ramen, teriyaki, tempura, innovative rice dishes, and a creative selection of bao buns, as well as some playfully creative desserts. Adding to the local feel, colourful graffiti walls have been detailed by Galway artist Tracey O'Callaghan, which are paired with subdued lighting and a curated playlist to create a contemporary space in the heart of Galway's Latin Quarter. Kombu is open from Tuesday to Saturday and will aim to keep the positive momentum going during one of Galway's busiest spells.
