Food

There’s more to Irish cuisine than the mighty potato... that said we do love our spuds. Seriously though, we take food very seriously at Rí Rá, sourcing the finest and freshest ingredients locally and preparing them with the care and attention to detail we're better known for putting into our drinks.

Fish & Chips

  1. Dublin-style Fish & Chips  with tartar sauce.
    Comes with your choice of Garden or Caesar Salad

     

    It’s Irish, It’s italian, It’s traditional. It can only be ‘the Chipper’

     

    At a certain time of night in Dublin you’ll hear a familiar call wherever you are, “who’s going to the Chipper?” The Chipper, or fish and chip shop, is by now an Irish institution and one we’re glad to share. Nothing, it seems,
    is as perfect a compliment to a cold drink as steaming hot fish and chips. We take freshly caught North Atlantic Haddock and fry it in a crisp lager batter then serve with hand cut chips, tartar sauce, a wedge of lemon and plenty of salt and vinegar.

They say that there’s ‘eating and drinking’ in a pint of Guinness. That’s all well and good, but some of us are partial to a good square meal to satisfy our appetite.

Serving breakfast, lunch and dinner we’ll make sure you get your ‘three squares’ a day.

Life doesn’t always fit into ‘breakfast,’ ‘lunch’ and ‘dinner.’ So for those times and events in between we have a special menu to tackle your appetite.
