Spitalfields

25 The Coombe, Dublin 8

Chef: Stephen McAllister

The relations we’ve arranged to meet for dinner in Spitalfields are already there when we arrive, and are looking happy as pigs in muck in seats just inside the front door. They live very close to this place, the former Shanahan’s pub in the heart of the Coombe in Dublin 8, and reckon they’ll be spending a fair bit of time here.
