locks 300x264 Dinner this evening .... Locks Restaurant Portobello

They call it pre-theatre, but I, who very rarely visits the theatre, would prefer to call it an early-bird.

Either way the food is delicious and although Locks is slightly pricey , a trip to one of Dublin’s best and least pretentious eateries doesn’t mean your not getting your money’s worth, the food is delicious and the menu superb.

I can highly recommended the Roast Pheasant Breast with Chestnut and Bacon stuffing if, like me, you happen to be game for game.

The Locks Restaurant early bird pre- theatre menu is available here.

You’ll find Locks Restaurant on Windsor Terrace, Portobello, Dublin 8.
