Chef Kevin Burke, former head chef at The Ninth, London, and on the founding team at Allta (now relocated) has re-imagined the original Allta premises to open his first restaurant, Library St.
The vibe is buzzy with a big central high table surrounded by smaller tables, and an open kitchen serving up contemporary dishes from the short menu (snacks and starters, three
mains, two desserts) as they are ready.
The focus is on encouraging interaction between guests with sharing plates, and the food is all about seasonal and local (for which read ‘Irish’) with frequently changed menus designed around what’s best
from suppliers at the time – and an extensive drinks list to accompany.
All of that plus great music and fun service make this an exciting dining destination.
