ABOUT

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. The trouble is, we don't have a tradition in Ireland of real gastro pub cooking... so what to do.? We looked to the old English traditions of pickles, roasts, meaty offals & braises but knew we should honour our own traditional lexicon of producers where possible and also allow our guests to enjoy a lighter style of dining.

We are making our own crisps (cheese or bacon anyone?), our own pickled eggs (they're really delish), and curing our own meat., 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 over 200 wines on a stellar list written with love We have done our best to represent some of the best of today's “natural,” organic, and biodynamic wines. We have an ever so slightly more formal dining room upstairs, which is also great for events, weddings, private parties and get-together.

The Legal Eagle is now reopening after a long and somewhat extended hiatus. The much beloved gastropub tradition is still being honoured with the signature pickles, homemade crisps and treacle tarts. The nose-to -tail vibes are also still present with the likes of PX-braised ox cheek, bone marrow sauce, pickled scapes, fine beans, & toasted almond or Pigs on the Green chorizo, cider-braised onions, and roasted garlic. Most especially, post-pandemic, the joy of feasting with friends, missed so viscerally, takes pride of place with a Feasting Menu featuring roasted lamb, whole fish, wood-fired chicken and a cornucopia of sharing courses such as roasted gambas with chilli & garlic, black kale with pine nuts and anchovy, soused mackerel and, to finish, a whole cheesecake over which your guests can squabble!. The bar fly menu will do nothing to resolve the Australia/New Zealand battle of the pies with The Legal Eagle taking a Kiwi-forward stance and serving their oval (rugby-ball?) pies as befitting of the new Executive Chef, Rowen Babe who hails from those lands. Think Meat and cheese, steak and even coddle pie! Kate Ruddy, formerly of 777 and Margadh RHA will head up the team out front with the recognisable strong service and style aesthetic of The Winding Stair Group.

For groups at The Legal Eagle, we offer a lovely family-style 'Feasting' menu priced at €65 per person.

A convivial affair, this is a feast to be had with friends, family or colleagues. You and your guests will be served a selection of seasonal snacks, small and larger plates, sides & desserts all to share and served family-style, from our wood-fired oven to give you a chance to experience our whole menu while bringing together the joy of food and company over the dinner table. Our dishes use produce, sourced where possible within the island and support small, artisan producers. All our desserts are made in our in-house pastry kitchen. We try our best to cater for any dietary requirement within our power, but it is worth noting that for serious intolerances, our kitchens may use all allergens and are not fully segregated so best to chat to us before you arrive if there are any serious concerns about possible allergen risks.
