Price: Moderate
• Irish • North City Centre
Booked 12 times today
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!

We arrived and it was buzzing get vibes. Down stairs was full got seat up stairs. Have to say it was just lovely. Great atmosphere lovely painting on walls and saying just great vibes. The staff so friendly each and everyone of them. The food was excellent and the fast serves and food hot when served. Their own hot sauce yum yum. The desert were fab and they brought my sisters with a candle and sang happy birthday it was just fab. Can’t say a bad thing about this place 1 st time and will be going back when every in dublin. Highly recommend 10/10. The place was buzzing and it’s was loud but we could hear each other talk and not what the people on table next to us were talking about.
