Nutbutter

Going back to 2017 Paddy, the founder of Nutbutter, arrived home from California with a passion for fresh food and a long to-do list. 12 months later, they opened the doors with a handful of friendly staff and within a couple of days became the firm favourite of food lovers.

Like Nutbutter, Urbanity brings healthy food and hearty flavours together with an awesome mix of breakfast sandwiches & lunch dishes in the coffee house.

Oxmantown

We often hear the term hidden gem thrown around with places in Dublin, but since setting up shop in Smithfield in 2018, Oxmantown has consistently put out winner after winner on it’s daily special sandwich on their lunch menu.

While it’s not the most exciting, the basic chicken sandwich packed with sage and onion stuffing on the fresh bloomer bread. Just paired with a plain cup of coffee hits the spot when it comes to light bites at lunch.

Fish Shop

For an island, Ireland doesn’t appreciate our outstanding produce especially fish. The amazing staff at Fish Shop in Smithfield ensure that every guest leaves not only with a belly full of expertly cooked hot food. They also leave with a new found passion for the fish in Ireland’s shores.

Seating at this wine bar come restaurant is limited, but the intimacy creates a beautiful atmosphere. Fish, Chips, Oysters, White Wine and tonnes of conversation with those sat beside you on what could be the best ‘chipper’ experience you’ll have. By the way, it’s not even a two minute walk from your room.

All Bar Chicken

Next door to the famous L. Mulligan Grocer’s, you wouldn’t be surprised to think this is a vegan restaurant. However, ABC is home to ‘Chicken n Choons’ and marinates Chicken Strips in a buttermilk and tea brine before coating them with a flour dusting then frying.

You’re not expected to only have strips and wings, you’ll find chicken burgers and chicken salads on the menu too. For those who thought ‘All Bar Chicken’ would be a veggie restaurant, you’re not wrong either. Their cauliflower florets get tossed in sauce and served with a tangy blue cheese dip for the vegetarians!

Bonobo

We’re not sure to put Bonobo in places for a drink, or places to eat in Smithfield. However, one thing we do know, Pizza Smithfield, they’re two words that belong together at Bonobo.

You’ll find beers and spirits in here, but the stars of the drinks list are in the cocktails. From the house creations, you find items that wouldn’t look out of place on the shopping list of a county dublin mum, with milk and cream. However firm favourites of the Pineapple marg or the Ryan Gosling make your meal turn from a quick bite to an elongated stay at this bar.

Oscars

Packed with vintage furnishings and a line of taps filled with craft beers, Oscars is located on Smithfield plaza and has long offered a hearty modern fare. This craft bar offers a number of menus to choose from and includes a complete plant based offering also.
