The Legal Eagle
Diners’ top pick
•
Price: Moderate

Irish
•
4.7
(433)
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!

The Winding Stair Bookshop & Café became a famous Dublin landmark in the 1970s and 1980s. Named after the Yeats poem and in honour of its winding staircase, it is overlooking the river Liffey, with an iconic view of the Ha'penny bridge. As a popular meeting place for writers, musicians and artists, it was a well known hub for debate and creativity with many poems written, novels penned and movies shot within its walls. In 2006, Elaine Murphy brought this much-loved spot back to life as a restaurant, championing seasonal, Irish produce. The bookshop, located on the ground floor, was retained, as were many of the old bookshelves, photos and memories. The room retains its timeless charm with stripped wood tables and floors, and Bentwood café chairs.The view remains as quintessentially Dublin as ever.
The food is good, old-fashioned home cooking, with produce sourced from artisans within the island. Drink sare local and international craft beers & wines from stellar producers.

The Woollen Mills has been one of the most iconic buildings and businesses in Dublin for over one hundred years, and to have taken over this site is a serious privilege. Much like our award-winning sister restaurant next door, The Winding Stair, we feel like we are custodians of something very special... a piece of history (James Joyce worked here, how unbelievable is that?!) and we must do it proud! Spanning over four floors and with a glorious roof terrace overlooking the River Liffey. The Woollen Mills is quintessentially Irish, local and of its locale. We want it to be an 'Eating House', a house of food, a place to grab a coffee and bun, a plate of Irish fish and chips, a place to score a casual bite befre the nearby theatres and cinemas or sit with seven courses of Irish antipasti, burrata, crab, lamb or cauliflower steak, overlooking the Ha'penny Bridge with a fine bottle of red or a craft beer. We hope we do it well.

    It was our first time at Boeuf & Frites. Safe to say that we will be returning! The staff were so kind, and attentive to our needs throughout the night. Both the steak and the chicken were cooked to a very high standard and the ambience in the restaurant was amazing. Thank you for an amazing service!

    Great dinner. My steak was overcooked but still ate it and thought I would just mention it at the end and waiter apologised and said he would tell the chef. I didn’t think much of it but he came back and offered to give us a complimentary drink after our meal. That was true and proper customer service, not expected and beyond expectations. I already booked my next meal there. Well done to the team at Hawksmoor!

    What a gem! We were pleased to discover a quaint non-touristy true Irish experience in the heart of Temple Bar. The service was outstanding and the food is something we’ll crave for years to come! Don’t overlook the Spice Bag Boxty - wow! The stew with the port, beer and soda bread was also a big hit. We can’t forget to mention the drinks, especially the old fashioned. Both our waiter and the manager made the night with their storytelling and helpful guidance. It was the best experience we didn’t expect for our first night in Dublin.

    A great place in a great location serving excellent local food and drink. Go there if you can. All our food was top notch and I loved the local craft beer. My personal favourite dish was the piggy scotch egg which was slightly runny and exactly how I wanted it. In the last month in England and Scotland I had seen the soft scotch egg on the menu several times and have enjoyed them BUT this was the only place which actually delivered a soft one as advertised.
