Redevelopment RHA Cafe and Bookshop
 
  The RHA is delighted to announce that we will have a purpose built café and bookshop on the ground floor of the gallery.

Noble & Beggarman will operate a specialist bookshop stocking art and art related books. The distinctive name of the bookshop comes from the 1937 Yeats poem T’he Municipal Gallery Revisited’, apt for a company which has it’s founding store in the Dublin City Gallery The Hugh Lane. Manager Shane Hallahan is eager to impress the down to earth ethos of the bookshop: “ A lot of people are intimidated by art or by gallery shops, there is a certain snootiness at times ... we try to steer away from that. We don’t profess to know absolutely everything about art; we just want to help you get a book.”

The well known Unicorn restaurant will operate in a new light-filled, street level café serving a range of homemade pastas, salads, antipasti and desserts.

Giorgio Casari, co-owner of the Unicorn adds:

“ The Unicorn Restaurant has been an institution on Merrion Row since 1948. We are delighted to be collaborating with the Royal Hibernian Academy in their exciting redevelopment. The menu of the new café will reflect the signature Italian style of the Unicorn group. We look forward to welcoming both new and existing customers to this beautiful new building.”
