    It's going to be Soulful Bistro apparently.

    The lights were on last night and there was a blackboard outside saying "Opening 22 February" but tonight when I passed around 7 it was dark and the shutters were down.

    I don't think it's solely a veggie restaurant. They were talking about sausages and steak a few days ago. I think they're just doing veggie options.

    They pushed the opening back until Saturday morning according to their Facebook page.

    Opening tomorrow morning at 9am. Not just vegan and vegetarian, they cater for everybody. There will be yummy steaks too. Looking forward to going up myself in the next few days. This lady has dreamt of opening her own restaurant for years and now she has finally succeeded. She's extremely passionate about feeding people beautiful food.:)

    Would be surprised if a vegan restaurant would last long in Stoneybatter. I'm not saying anything against Stoneybatter but you need a volume of vegans/vegetarians to survive and very few suburbs have that volume, hence why city center is a better bet where your target market comes from all four directions.

    So I hope for their sake that meat is being served, though that in itself could be slightly counter productive as your strict vegetarian or vegan might hate the smell of meat being cooked and hence won't go there. So I'm a bit confused on this one, it seems neither here nor there and sometimes trying to be all things to all people can be a fatal business error.

    But I hope I am wrong and wish them well , always good to see new businesses opening up

    I knew it as 'egg in a cup' when i was growing up. My OH calls it guggy egg though and I've started to now too.

    Boil and egg (or two), de-shell, put it into a cup, add butter (only the real kind counts!) and loads of white pepper and mush it all about.
    Serve with soldiers
    :)

    You can drop in and grab a menu, not up on Facebook yet.
    Catering for everyone but with an extra bit of thought put in for Veggies.
