About The Bastible
On Leonard's Corner edging The Liberties, The Bastible is chef Katherine Foley's Michelin-starred powerhouse, a neighbourhood restaurant punching way above its weight. Housed in a former hardware shop, the exposed brick and open kitchen create an intimate, fireside glow. Foley's menu is a love note to Irish terroir: wild garlic velouté, Connemara lamb, and desserts like rhubarb and elderflower that sing of seasonality.
