Smithfield

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!

Stoneybatter

About the restaurant

Vada was born out of a simple obsession of sustainability and seriously great food. Now featured in the Michelin Guide, we’re a small-but-mighty team in the heart of Stoneybatter, dedicated to a zero-waste life and celebrating the best of Dublin’s local suppliers.

Whether you’re stopping in after a stroll through the Phoenix Park or coming specifically for Chef Hannah O'Donnell’s famous Karaage butter sauce chicken, we’re all about big flavours with a tiny footprint. Our menu moves with the seasons—if it’s not fresh and local, it’s not on the plate.

Expect a relaxed, buzzy atmosphere that’s best enjoyed with a glass from our small, curated wine list, featuring low-intervention bottles that we truly love. We look forward to seeing you soon :)

Great place! Their main dish is Korean fried chicken but they do it so well and they have a couple side dishes too. Staff are lovely, we were 15 minutes late and they were still able to accommodate us! The atmosphere is lovely as well. Would highly recommend!
