All The Food

What’s the story with Dollars?   After being impressed by the Peruvian plates at The Hoxton’s Cantina Valentina , we were quietly curious if daytime deli Dollars  could repeat the magic. With New York deli counter culture a dime a dozen in Dublin these days there’s no novel niche-filling here – especially with so much local competition about. Add to that all those years we had to walk through the ugly hoarding outside, and these would want to be good.   And?   There are worse

What’s the story with Sushi & Go?   A few weeks ago, breathy posts started appearing on social media about new grab and go sushi on Montague Street. Sushi & Go 's website only has limited information (find their Insta here ), but there was enough different here to colour us interested. Most of Dublin's sushi places have nothing major to set them apart, but Sushi & Go has come in with Onigiri (stuffed Japanese rice in the shape of a triangle), and Inari (sweet, savoury, stuff

What’s the story with Street Frites?   After the short-lived (much loved) Vi's House  closed after a year of trading, 21 Duke Lane sat empty for much of 2025. Former fans were a flutter when the lights went back on before Christmas, hoping that Vi was making a comeback, but it was something new. Street Frites is "Belgian-style fries using the best Irish potatoes", from commercial grower Meade Farm in Navan, with chips cut and sauces made in house. They've got on-the-go cone

What’s the story with Greek Gyros?   Right as Glasnevin’s Yeeros was making a city centre expansion in 2023, the south suburbs were also getting in on the Greek gyros game with… well, with Greek Gyros . If that on-the-nose name hadn’t exactly had us rushing to visit, a hot tip from an ATF Insider provided the push.   What did you have?   A little tub of tirokafteri and a round of pita (€6) was the first green flag. Meaning just “spicy cheese”, it’s an olive oil-creamed dip

What’s the story with Pronto?   With no end of interest in our rundown of Dublin’s best pub grub  as people look for thriftier ways to eat out well amidst the ever-tightening squeeze, we’ve had our eyes open for more outlets that might make the grade. Good word of mouth and an offering that goes above and beyond the usual fare are two of the quickest things to rouse our interest, and there’s no shortage of both about Pronto , inside   Moss Lane on Pearse Street. Previously s

What’s the story with Sando Paradiso?   The suspenseful month between tease and soft-launch, built expectation and appetite for Sando Paradiso , Hen’s Teeth’s first return to full food service since Killian Walsh packed his bags for Bastible . Shokupan is at the heart of this more casual concept, with seven stuffed sandos showcasing the thick and fluffy appeal of Japanese milk bread.   What’s on the menu?   Come hungry - between brick-thick slices and fillings that don’t hol
