We just found Boco - we’ve been twice in a week already, their pizza is the lightest airiest pizza we have eaten outside of Italy, all the ingredients are fresh and really good quality, the atmosphere is calm and candle-lit; the staff are so warm and friendly and attentive, and the prices are reasonable - we’re just sorry we didn’t find out earlier and we’ll be back soon. And the pizza, because the base is tender, reheats beautifully in the air fryer the next day without becoming tough. They also have wines that come straight from the cask (we preferred the Pinot Grigio to the Sauvignon). We think it’s the best pizza we’ve had in Ireland.

Mad Egg started out with a simple mission; to create the best fried chicken sandos Ireland has ever seen. We are Ireland’s first free-range fried chicken joint. The first to truly put the provenance and sustainability of our product at the front and centre of our ethos; with Chicken Done Proper. Yes, we place a massive emphasis on the quality of our birds, but we don’t stop there! Throughout our menu we focus on the heritage and quality of everything we offer. From our birds to beers, we’ve got you covered! Please note all reservations are for indoor seating, we are operating our outdoor section on a first come first served basis.

The Winding Stair

€31 to €50

Irish

North City Centre

About the restaurant

The Winding Stair Bookshop & Café became a famous Dublin landmark in the 1970s and 1980s. Named after the Yeats poem and in honour of its winding staircase, it is overlooking the river Liffey, with an iconic view of the Ha'penny bridge. As a popular meeting place for writers, musicians and artists, it was a well known hub for debate and creativity with many poems written, novels penned and movies shot within its walls. In 2006, Elaine Murphy brought this much-loved spot back to life as a restaurant, championing seasonal, Irish produce. The bookshop, located on the ground floor, was retained, as were many of the old bookshelves, photos and memories. The room retains its timeless charm with stripped wood tables and floors, and Bentwood café chairs.The view remains as quintessentially Dublin as ever.
The food is good, old-fashioned home cooking, with produce sourced from artisans within the island. Drink sare local and international craft beers & wines from stellar producers.

The Legal Eagle

Irish

North City Centre

About the restaurant

When we took over The Legal Eagle, we inherited some of the glorious features, and the building really spoke to us of old-fashioned pub-grub. We looked to the old traditions of pickles, roasts, meaty joints & braises and knew we should honour our traditional lexicon of producers where possible and also allow our guests to enjoy a lighter style of dining.

We make our own crisps, croqueta, our own Scotch eggs (they're really delish), and supporting our burgeoning salumi and farmhouse cheese industry with platters of cold cuts. We are smoking our own spuds and have a local vegetable grower growing to our needs !

We are crazy about beer, whiskey and gin but wine is where we started and it remains a driving force for us. We have a stellar cocktail and wine list written with love and care

We have an ever so slightly more formal dining room upstairs, which is also great for events, weddings, private parties and get-togethers and hugely popular with industry folk. Can't wait to see all!
