One of a flurry of relatively recent brasserie-bistro restaurants aiming to up the ante in casual all-day dining, The Green Hen brought together a talented team in a prime premises which previously housed one of the Léon cafes.
The bar beckons passersby in with cocktails of the day, and an all-day bar menu that features treats such as oysters and Guinness, while the restaurant proper extends its menu from keenly-priced lunch into dinner with hearty plat du jour offerings.
This Dublin Restaurants food is well executed if sometimes unusually conceived – order wisely rather than recklessly, and enjoy the buzzy French bistro ambience.
