A linen merchant's house, thirty-four chairs.
The Oak Room opened in 2016 in the front rooms of a linen merchant's house on Watergate Street. The panelling, the fireplaces and most of the floorboards were already here — we added candles, thirty-four chairs, and a kitchen that could keep up with them.
Daniel Byrne cooks here six nights a week. He trained in Lyon and came home to Meath in 2015, and the menu still shows both, though the produce is almost entirely Irish and most of it close enough to collect by van.
We take one booking per table per evening. Nobody is asked to leave, and the last table usually goes long.
