All The Food

- Very exciting news this week that Drury Street's Mani are moving to a bigger space  across the road, where Juanitos used to be, meaning more space, more seats, and customer toilets. They're keeping the current site for pop ups and other fun stuff   - MJ Wrights pub and eating rooms has opened on George's Street where Rustic Stone used to be. It's just the pub and cellar bar for now, with the eating rooms following at the end of November - New cocktail bar The Stapleton  is

- It's been rumoured since the last ceremony in Glasgow in February, but this week Michelin confirmed that their 2026 awards will take place in Dublin's Convention Centre . This decision has half the industry convinced that the country is getting its first three star restaurant, with Chapter One by Mickael Viljanen or Ahmet Dede's Dede the obvious protagonists, but we can't help feeling ill for these chefs who might then be deemed a disappointment for "just" holding onto two

Here at ATF we've been complaining for YEARS about the lack of a restaurant group dripping in glamour with stellar food and drinks to match. Finally it seems the hospitality Gods have shone their light on Dublin, as the Big Mamma Group are moving in. Gloria Osteria , an homage to 1970's Italian glamour opens on Westmoreland Street at the end of November, and we've got exclusive access to a THREE DAY soft launch with 50% off food for ATF Insiders . The group, known for vibr
