5 things we want to eat in Dublin this week

RIP summer 2025. That was it last week. Not to be seen again until 2026. Oh well. Let's drown our sorrows and warm up again with savoury hot cross buns, Brazilian cheese bread, and spicy oysters...

1) Crab hot cross buns, The Seafood Café

The Seafood Café are having a moment, and they've just knocked it out of the park again with these SAVOURY hot cross buns. They're filling them with Lambay Island crab and serving them from 12pm - 4pm every day until Easter.

2) Hot cross buns with whipped butter and blood orange marmalade, Scéal Bakery @ The Wine Pair

If that all sounded like too much change, you can keep it classic with this one instead. Scéal's iconic hot cross buns are back in the headlines, and when you dine in they're served with whipped salted butter and blood orange marmalade. Find them in Greystones or at The Wine Pair in Dublin 8.

3) Foie gras and chicken liver parfait with brioche, Cellar 22

We have always been and will always be suckers for a good parfait, and this foie gras and chicken one at Cellar 22, served with the most perfect slices of warm brioche is currently high on the want list.

4) Michelada oysters, Suertudo

Last year was the year of the Michelada, this year is the year of the Michelada oyster. Suertudo in Ranelagh are beautifying these crustaceans with beer gel, fresh cucumber, clamato juice and Tajín, and suggest an ice-cold cerveza on the side. They had us at Michelada.

5) Pão de Queijo, Bootleg

What was Bootleg on Drury Street is now hosting Brazilian pop up Rei Momo, and while we have no idea how long this one will stick around, we think these incredible looking Pão de Queijo (cassava bread filled with cheese) might help with directing football into the restaurant.
