Restaurant Bookings For Beyond The Pale Have Gone Live
Words: Maggie Fagan
If you, like a small cross-section of the country, are heading to Beyond the Pale this summer, and are reading this post on this very website, it only makes sense that you’re interested in what the chow sitch is.
They have lined up some absolute (food) bangers this year. If you’re not elevating your festival experience by booking a sit-down meal in the forest, what are you at? Here are the restaurants you can book at Beyond the Pale 2026. Note of caution – these will sell out. Hop to it and get booking.
Reggie’s
The Pizza King of Ireland aka Reggie White, has single-handedly transformed the country’s pizza scene, one pie at a time, meaning BTP goers are being treated to some class grub. Reggie’s starter game is always on point, and on this sharing menu they’re offering ricotta meatballs, cacio e pepe arancini, and a radicchio salad for the table followed by a 10-inch pizza each, plus a slew of sticky toffee pudding to wrap things up. This feast is for a minimum of four people and comes in at €260 + booking fees, so hovering around €65 a head. There’s a wine pairing available too, which honestly, sounds so dreamy. Top tier pizza, washed down by deliciously paired wine, at a class music festival? Stuff like this makes life worth living.
One to book for the latter part of the festival, when you need some comfort food to melt the hangover away.
IBILE
Beloved West African legends IBILE are putting on a vibrant feast for festival goers and are pulling out all the stops. Tables are for a minimum of four people sharing at €65 (+ booking fees) a pop. The spread will include an Agege bread course, along with individual starter, mains, and dessert options. Plates that are catching our eye include jollof with fermented pepper aioli, plantain waffles with yaji fried chicken, and their white chocolate glazed puff puff with zobo gel dessert. The whole menu can be made vegan and there’s an option to add on a cocktail pairing for a tenner.
Host
Host has to be our top pick for BTP festival dining this year. Like come on. Fine dining in the forest? Is this real life? Coming in at €150 (plus booking fees) for a two top sharing, the main event is an 800g McLoughlin’s striploin on the bone. Go big or go home like.
One to book if you’ve gone with a gang of mates and you know you’ll need some alone time with your bae to reset those social batteries.
Beyond the Pale 2026 is running from Friday June 12th to Sunday 14th and each restaurant mentioned currently has three sittings available on Saturday and Sunday at 1:30pm, 4:30pm, and 7:30pm. Don’t sleep on booking these, folks.
