From the people that brought you The Grand Social, The Woollen Mills, The Yarn, The Washerwoman and The Winding Stair...
We bring youuuuuu The Legal Eagle.
Located at 1/2 Chancery Place, Dublin 7, The Legal Eagle will be unusually trading as a very traditional old English pub.
It will have a meaty, old-fashioned style pub menu for downstairs in the bar area serving classical, unadorned food from another era serving things like whole dover and chateaubriand.
Drool.
"This style of food is also very much in the 'nose-to-tail' world of dining but the more we thought about it, the more we realised that 'nose-to-tail' (use every bit and don't waste it) sits alongside a celebration of vegetables very comfortably!
Both are a celebration of produce and we hope to use some lesser celebrated vegetables and vegetable tops etc in our dishes.
We are also making our own crisps (cheese, bacon or smoked tomato anyone?), our own pickled eggs (they're really delish) and even have a DIY crisp sandwich on offer with batch and homemade butter!"
Elaine Murphy, Legal Eagle
What else to expect?
Well lunch will feature daily changing roast-in-rolls consisting of Irish potato flatbreads filled with the likes of:
Bacon, cabbage and parsley sauce
Roasted squash, fig and honey
Smoked haddock brandade, fennel and duck egg!
Meat will come from a wood oven on traditional meat platter (hay-smoked ham, corned mutton, haslet, pickles and sourdough) and fish will be served on a stand as seen above.
Dinner will showcase unusual delights such as roasted bone marrow, rump heart, cauliflower rarebit, Shropshire Blue souffle and roasted-buttered turnip tops to name but a few.
Ugh, we are counting down the days, hours and minutesssssss 'til we can get our hands on some of these delicacies.
As for drinks?
There will be twenty craft beers on tap, over 200 wines on a stellar list written by Sean Gargano and a small but considered and decidedly un-trendy classic cocktail list.
Wow. Could this be all of our dreams finally coming true right on The Liffey?
An ever-so-slighly formal dining room will open upstairs a little later on in the year. But as of right now, The Legal Eagle will be spreading its wings and opening its doors at the start of August.
So watch this space folks. We have a good feeling about it.
The sun was shining, the ribbon was cut, and the tarmac was freshly poured – all was ready to go when I queued up among plenty of eager visitors to be one of the first to try out Emerald Park’s two new roller coasters, Na Fianna Force and The Quest. The two rides are part […]
The problematic portal opened back up on North Earl this week, and although we’re glad to see at least one Dublin project come to fruition (unlike the ones below), it seems everyone is still scratching their heads trying to figure out why exactly we need it. Whether you’re a lover or a hater of the infamous […]

Newly opened up the top of Ranelagh, this high-end bakery is a great addition to Dublin’s blooming bakery scene. Operating on a refreshing level of production and efficiency, we have no doubt that it will set the tone and up the stakes for others. Get prepared to get there early cos they sell out lippy-split […]

Scéal have really come into their stride in their first permanent home. If you’ve been here a while, you know the Lovin team’s borderline obsession with a certain bakery, one you used to only be able to find on a Thursday or Saturday morning at the Fumbally stables, between 10am and 1pm (although they rarely […]
We found ourselves standing in a queue at 11am on a Wednesday morning, so we knew the hype was real. Dublin loves a trend, as we know. Burritos, doughnuts, chicken wangs, small plates – we’re always ready to hop on the hot sauce laden bandwagon, whether it’s for burgers, or dumplings, froyo, or pastel de […]
The definition of a “feel-good” watch. Somewhere Out There You by playwright and screenwriter Nancy Harris premiered as part of Dublin Theatre Festival and is on a 6 week run at the Abbey – I was lucky enough to catch it on Monday evening, and unlike most of the plays that I have had the […]
