"We’re so excited to finally have a semi-permanent place where we can call home."

We have long hoped for a permanent Bahay location in Dublin and were gutted when they were forced to pull out of the space they had lined up in Blanchardstown this time last year due to "enormous costs". While they are ever present at markets and food events - I thankfully caught them at Taste of Dublin over the summer - the dream is to find them somewhere on a more regular basis, and our prayers have been answered in this regard.

Bahay Winter Residency

As of Friday November 3rd, Bahay will begin their winter residency at Warehouse Food Market in Harold's Cross, with tables available to book on Friday and Saturday nights from then until the end of December. This Bahay will focus on communal eating, sharing small and large plates amongst friends so you get the most out of the flavours on offer. You can expect to see Bahay's famous banana ketchup and chicken skewers, shrimp and courgette okoy,  Sisig cappellacci, BBQ Cauliflower Inasal, and much more. As always, Bahay will be showcasing the best of Filipino cuisine, serving a selection of Richie’s valued family recipes, while also putting a festive spin on things. Alex and Richie of Bahay said this of their new residency:

"We’re so excited to finally have a semi-permanent place where we can call home and serve food on actual plates! We want to create a space where people can come together during these cold dark evenings and create memories and have a buzz with some good food, music AND drinks. The communal element that Chris emphasises at THE warehouse with the communal tables and large open kitchen, really resonates with what we want to emulate at Bahay. We’re all about community, as it’s made Bahay what it is today. You can expect a menu consisting of some small plates, and some larger plates, all designed to share. With the usual Filipino flavours, using the very best Irish produce we can get our hands on. We cannot wait to welcome you to Bahay’s first Residency."
