Gallagher’s
Boxty House is the
brainchild of Padraic Og Gallagher, a
native of Mohill, County Leitrim.
While working in Venezuela in the
early 1980’s, Padraic Og observed the
Syrians that he worked with practising
their native home-cooking, preparing
pittas and koftas. It reminded him of
home-cooked food that his mother
used to prepare when he was a child,
particularly Boxty. He vowed that
when he returned to Ireland he would
set up his own restaurant and share
his favourite food with the people of
Dublin and its visitors.
True to his word, Gallagher’s
Boxty House was incorporated in
1988, and opened its doors at
Number 20, Temple Bar in February
1989. At this time the restaurant
seated just 30 people. |
