The Address Collective, a family-owned Irish hotel group, has announced the launch of its new restaurant brand, NORTH, across its portfolio, following a ‘significant investment’.
The brand has now been introduced at the Address Cork and both the Address Connolly, replacing the former McGettigan’s Cookhouse & Bar, and Citywest in Dublin. This new expansion follows the debut of NORTH at the Address Glasgow earlier this year and the summer opening of the restaurant at the Address Sligo, bringing the total number of NORTH locations to five across Ireland and Scotland.
The Address Collective, owned and managed by Brian and Ciara McGettigan, now operates five hotels across Ireland and Scotland.
“The success in Glasgow and Sligo has shown us that there is a real appetite for sustainable, locally sourced dining experiences,” said Brian McGettigan. “With NORTH, we’re not just creating a restaurant, we’re crafting an authentic celebration of Irish food culture, showcasing the best of what’s grown and produced within a 50-mile radius of each location. It’s a brand that reflects our values of quality, sustainability and community.”
Seasonable And Sustainable
NORTH will focus on locally sourced seasonable and sustainable ingredients. Its menu is crafted with a strict 50-mile sourcing policy for meats, ensuring ethically sourced Irish produce. This commitment helps reduce the carbon footprint of the restaurant, aligning with the Address Collective’s wider sustainability objectives.
The menu is designed for sharing and savouring local flavours. Seasonal highlights include dishes like slow-cooked Irish lamb shank with mashed potatoes and roasted vegetables, pastas, and traditional beer-battered fish and chips. Signature burgers, made with locally sourced meats and veggie options served on toasted brioche buns, round out a menu that aims to celebrate the very best of Irish cuisine.
Each of the NORTH properties aims to offer a distinct look and feel. Extensive community artwork is also on display by contemporary artists, including Paul Hughes and Vincent Devine, to support the local community in each of the five locations.
Celebration
To celebrate the launch across its Irish locations and the arrival of autumn, NORTH is offering an exclusive dining experience, available at all locations. Guests can indulge in the NORTH sharing côte de boeuf – a premium one-kilogram dry-aged Irish côte de boeuf steak, served with two sauces of choice, hand-cut chips, and a choice of a bottle of red or white wine – for €119, designed for two to share until the end of November.
“We’re excited to bring NORTH to all of our hotels across Ireland,” said Brian McGettigan.
