Owner Joey Somers has already been feeding the sambo lovers of Dublin when he opened the New York inspired sandwich shop Doughboys.
Joey explains, “Unfortunately, like all hospitality businesses, Doughboys was badly hit by the COVID pandemic. The Temple Bar premises had to close on March 14th 2020 and has remained shut ever since. Rather than lose the premises, I decided to develop MacDaddy, a casual comfort food eatery in the heart of Dublin.”
He adds, “Diners can choose from super-indulgent mac and cheese mains, fried chicken, fries, sides and deep-fried Oreos, and we’re only getting started – this is the ultimate comfort food.”
This news comes just a few weeks after another restaurant opened in Temple Bar, with Toca Café serving up South American cuisine.
