The new eatery taking over Locks in Portobello is backed by the same creators of Uno Mas and Etto. Historically, Locks was a beloved diner in the 80s, famous for being a social hub for Dublin's talented crowd, featuring large windows with canal views, plush seating, and a unique blend of Scandinavian flavors and culinary offerings, alongside a tradition of Friday champagne sessions, making it a place to enjoy leisurely meals that transition from lunch to dinner seamlessly.
We peak inside the new eatery to take over Locks in Portobello from the people that spearheaded Uno Mas and Etto.
In the 80s, Claire and the late Richard Douglas' Locks was the nearest thing Dublin had to a canteen for the city's best and brightest.
With its big windows looking out on to the canal, comfortable banquettes, red velvet drapes, Scandi-influenced menu and Friday afternoon champagne towers, the Portobello restaurant was somewhere lunch might easily segue into dinner.
