FIRE on Dawson Street!

But it’s not an emergency. Fire is a remarkable new restaurant – occupying part of the 18th century Mansion House, the official residence of the Lord Mayor of Dublin.

Apart from the luxurious surroundings, what is remarkable about Fire? It is the wood fired oven incorporated into the high-ceilinged 200-seater dining room. This really comes into its own supreme is in the provision of Flatbreads – a la Naples Style Pizzas.

And the rest of the menu also commands respect. The special section for salads brings positive clarity to an oft vague area. The signature dish of the house is a prime aged Irish Bone in Fillet.

It has been “aged” for 21 days through which time it has been maintained with Tuscan olives, garlic and seasonings. Fillet with a bone? A contradiction? Not at all, it enhances the already mouth watering taste.

The customer demand for the special sense of occasion and culinary delights that goes with a meal at Fire is so strong that on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, two sittings have been arranged – 7 p.m. and 9 p.m.

Al fresco meals on the terrace appeal to many because the buzz of Dublin’s vibrant night life is en suite on Dawson Street. Lunch is available on Saturdays but the Fire is quenched on Sunday nights.

To book telephone Fire’s Manageress Catherine Connolly at 01 676 7200.
