Come with us as we take over Hera in Drumcondra!

All The Food
May 7

The guys behind Hera, Juno, Achara and Crudo seem to have the magic touch at the moment, serving the kind of food we want to eat, with an endlessly interesting drinks list, and pricing that doesn't hurt when the bill arrives.

We loved Hera, their revamped bar serving food on Dorset Street, with ATF editor Lisa calling it "dream gastropub stuff", the Irish Times food critic Corinna Hardgrave calling the food "clever ... with a delicacy and originality to it", and the Irish Examiner's Leslie Williams saying it's "a culinary highlight for Dublin's rising Northside".

We're taking over Hera on the night of Thursday 22nd May, so that chef Joe Smith and the kitchen team can really show off, with an 11-part menu featuring what we and they think are their best dishes right now. We've gotten them to come up with an incredible offering for €60pp (with the option to add a Carlingford Oyster flambéed table side in smoked butter for €4), and because we always look after you, there's a welcome cocktail included too.

There will be two sittings at 17:30 and 20:00, and as usual with our events the team will be on site all night to serve the dishes, chat and answer your questions.

This is an ATF Insiders-only event - sign up here for €6 a month if you're not already part of the best food club in Dublin. Each Insider can book a table for two, and bring one non-Insider with them. If you're coming with friends who are also signed up and you want to sit together, just make a note on your booking.

Here's the menu for the takeover, AND there's a vegetarian option if you want to go fish and meat free, but as dishes are for sharing, both people at the table need to have the same menu. (If you'd like the vegetarian menu you'll need to note this when you book)

Bookings for our Hera takeover on Thursday 22nd May go live tomorrow, Thursday 8th May at 11am. Everyone signed up to ATF Insiders will receive the booking link in their inbox. If you're not already signed up you can do so below.
