One of Aungier Street's most-loved spots, the Lucky Tortoise has grown from pop-up to restaurant - this summer adding a second Dublin restaurant to the mix.
Confirming that they 'quietly' opened another venue at the start of July, how they managed to keep that so hush-hush is beyond me. As one of Dubliners' fave dumpling restaurants, they're fairly popular... so that's the kinda thing foodies would usually notice.
Sharing the news (and giving customers a peek at the new set up), team Lucky T took to Instagram to update us all on the big news.
'On July 1st, we quietly opened our second Lucky Tortoise restaurant. It's quite a daunting task to open a new restaurant at the best of times, but to do so post lockdown with a raft of new challenges was beyond daunting.
However, we had belief, a belief in our team and their ability to adapt to the new circumstances we found ourselves in.
Our team has worked extremely hard to create a bright, welcoming, and safe space for you all in Temple Bar. We have been welcoming guests for the last eight weeks and we are extremely happy with our new little restaurant and the feedback we have received from our customers.'

Taking bookings through their social media pages and website, the guys went on to thank customers for their continued support - adding:
'We felt we became closer to you guys during lockdown and we were delighted to help brighten up your lives occasionally. You guys certainly continue to brighten up ours.'
Can't wait to call in guys.

Because outdoor drinks are back baby… With the clocks about to change and the weather *hopefully* set to pick up, rightfully, there’s only one thing on our minds… Picture it now: You finish a long week in the office, the sun is shining and you get THE text – ‘Pints?’. Dublin is well known for […]
There are few things that stir the Lovin hive-mind quite like catching wind of a new opening – especially when it promises to fill the gaping, onigiri-shaped hole in Dublin’s heart. Sushi & Go has landed on Montague Street, and to be honest, it’s about time. It’s cheap, it’s cheerful, and it’s dangerously close to […]
