• Irish • North City Centre
Booked 12 times today
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!

    Wr had a date night in Bonvinity, firstly there was a real aesthetic atmosphere 👌 Staff were absolutely lovely, so friendly, checked on us and knew that menu inside out. The food was unreal, I had Prawns to start, my partner had spicebag- really nice and tasty. For mains we both had 8oz fillet and it was divine. I had the truffle and parmasan fries and my partner had beef dripping chips. Well presented and was unreal. Lastly we had chocolate meraton for desert, it was like a snickers icecream absolutely gorgeous. I would 💯 recommend 👌 thank you for a lovely night 🤍

    If you're looking for an unforgettable dining experience in Dublin, look no further. This is the only place I could find serving authentic cacio e pepe, and let me tell you, it was worth every bite. The food is incredibly fresh, bursting with flavour, and clearly made with love. The service is absolutely top-notch. The staff are lovely, welcoming, and truly pleasant to deal with - they made the experience even better. To top it all off, the wine selection is exquisite. Every sip was delightful and perfectly paired with the meal. This place has officially earned a top spot in my book. I’ll be back for more - again and again! Highly recommend. 🍝🍷
