Our story

A coach house, a hearth, and a stubborn idea about fire.

In 2016 we took on a damp 1890s coach house off Marlowe Street with a collapsed roof and a chimney big enough to stand in. We kept the chimney. Everything else — the oak floor, the zinc bar, the twelve tables — was built around it.

There is no gas line in our kitchen. Every plate that leaves the pass has met the fire in some way: charred, smoked, ember-roasted, or warmed on the stone beside it. It makes us slower than most restaurants and considerably more particular about wood.

From the hearth

Five things we would order

The menu changes with what arrives on Tuesday morning, but these have earned their place and rarely leave.

Full menu
Chef's pick

Hearth-charred octopus

€19

Slow-braised for four hours, then finished directly on the embers. Romesco made with Wicklow hazelnuts, burnt lemon, a lot of good oil.

GF Starter · serves one

Oak-smoked beetroot

€16

Beetroot buried in the ash overnight, dressed like a tartare with capers, shallot and a horseradish cream that will wake you up.

VE GF Starter

Ember-roasted lamb

€34

Shoulder from Ballyknocken, cooked eight hours beside the fire until it gives way to a spoon. Wild garlic when it's in, salsa verde when it's not.

GF Main · to share

Burnt honey tart

€11

Brown butter pastry, honey from the hives on the Cabra allotments, caramelised until it is very nearly too far. Crème fraîche to cut it.

V Dessert

The room

Low light, loud enough to talk, quiet enough to hear the answer.

What guests say

“We came for one glass and stayed four hours. The octopus is the best thing I have eaten in this city, and I say that as someone who eats out for a living.”
Niamh Costigan Food writer, The Liberties Review
“Booked for our anniversary. They remembered, and left a little card on the table. Small thing, made the night.”
Declan & MartaRegulars since 2019
“I'm coeliac and normally braced for a negotiation. Here it took one sentence and the whole menu opened up.”
Sorcha LynamRathmines
“Took a table of eight for a work dinner. Aoife matched every course without once making it feel like an upsell.”
