The IFI in Dublin’s Temple Bar, long a destination for the finest national and international independent cinema, is also home to the beloved IFI Café Bar, which has served food to movie-goers and foodies alike for over 25 years. Led by IFI Head of Food and Beverage Julien Caillabet, formerly of Les Frères Jacques, the IFI Café Bar selects the finest seasonal produce for its menus, ensuring the freshest flavours are available all year round.

Established dinner menu favourites such as Linguine with Garlic Chilli Prawns and the iconic IFI Burger are now joined by a delicious new Vegetarian Lasagne (€12.50), Stir-Fry Beef with Pak Choi (€13.50), and Warm Summer Vegetable Salad with Crispy Parmesan Polenta (€12.50).
