Early Bird Menus to excite – Dublin’s Finest Early Bird/Pre-Theatre Offerings

The Early Bird/Pre-Theatre dining concept appeals to a wide and varied audience. For us, we love nothing better than a delicious, midweek, after work dinner. That feeling of treating yourself and not breaking the bank appeals to both sides of the brain! We have compiled this list of some of the best places that have stand out offerings at outstanding prices.

 

The Saddle Room at The Shelbourne Hotel


We regularly recommend The Saddle Room to family and friends and more often than not people are very surprised at how much the pricing is in line with many other Dublin restaurants. The menu is seasonal and definitely veers towards a traditional style of dining. The Cauliflower Risotto is sensational and if you haven’t tried The Shelbourne Truffle Fries yet, you are missing out.

The Pre-Theatre menu here runs at €34 for 2 courses and €39 for 3 courses, Monday to Sunday, 5.30pm – 6.30pm.
