Support local : A guide to Dublin's restaurants reopening

Team EnergyBroker

Welcome to the EnergyBroker blog.  We work with some amazing restaurants in Dublin and understand how difficult it has been for them all to have been closed for so long during the global pandemic. For this reason, we wanted to take a moment to shine a light on some of our customers in the hospitality industry in Dublin. We want to encourage our readers to check out some independent establishments and support local businesses all around the country. 

 

The Mongolian BBQ

Asian Restaurant

Home of the lunch bowl, providing stir fries and great value in the heart of Temple Bar. The Mongolian BBQ is popular with both locals and tourists but has been closed since last year due to the pandemic. They offer a unique and fun experience where you choose your ingredients and then watch the chefs grill it up in front of you. The staff are great and the atmosphere is super relaxed. Make sure to give them your support when they reopen.

 

 

The Boxty House

Traditional Irish Restaurant

 

Gallaghers' Boxty House has been serving up traditional Irish food since 1988 right in the heart of Temple Bar. Diners come here for a genuine taste of modern Ireland and the relaxed, warm atmosphere provided by the staff. Temple bar got hit hard by Covid but with summer here and reopening around the corner you can be guaranteed The Boxty House will be ready for diners with the best Irish welcome.

Friendly, independent & quality focused café, warm welcomes and creative menus, with a simple aim to offer good, fresh food and drinks that are made with a lot of love and effort, and served in a casual environment.

Many an EnergyBroker lunch has been from Tang Food. Serving breakfast, lunch and dinner on Dublin's Dawson Street the food here is always fresh, healthy and most importantly delicious! The staff are super and we're so happy to see them open again. Make sure to drop in and grab a yummy salad before heading up to Stephen's Green this summer.

Dax

Fine Dining

Offering fine dining in Dublin's Georgian quarter, Dax has been impressing diners with modern Irish cuisine since 2004. During the pandemic they ran 'Dax at Home' where you could order from the restaurant to enjoy at home, which saw huge demand and they were regularly sold out. Make sure to book a table for when they reopen indoor dining for that extra special treat you deserve after the year we've all had.

Thundercut Alley

Sexy Bites

What are sexy bites you ask? Think Sourdough Flatbreads and Tasty tacos prepared in Woodfired Bread Ovens, pimped Fries, unique Salads and Infamous Loaded Nachos washed down with PornStar Martinis. A hidden, retro spot in Smithfield looking forward to seeing you all for indoor dining in July.
