Stuffed brioche that screams Italia, your last bite at lobster for the season, and you'll need to get prepared if you're hoping to snag a November pecan pie. Here's what's been consuming our brains in Dublin this week... 1) Hare à la royale , Chapter One by Mickael Viljanen The Irish hospitality industry has been rocked with three-star rumours since Michelin announced last week that the 2026 awards are going to be held in Dublin next year. Absolutely nothing is a given with these fellas, so we would not be jumping the gun, but what we would be doing is booking into two-star Chapter One by Mickael Viljanen for this Hare à la royale with quince and alba white truffle from the Autumn menu. No stars, one star, two stars or three, this is an experience worthy of anyone's bucket list. 2) Lobster garganelli, Angelina's We're right at the end of lobster season, so it's your last chance to indulge, and we're looking pointedly at this lobster garganelli with bisque butter from the current menu at Angelina's . Seafood pasta + wine + heated terrace overlooking the water = a happy end to October. 3) Black pudding Scotch egg, Hera A mainstay of gastropub Hera 's menu from the start, their latest Scotch egg version comes wrapped in black pudding with a house brown sauce, and we can't stop thinking about pulling up a seat at the bar for this and a pint of plain. 4) Pistachio and strawberry-stuffed brioche, Olivier's Bread Okay this one needs a bit of work but bear with us. Olivier's Bread , famous for their Finglas bakery vending machine, suggested we served brioche stuffed with pistachio cream, strawberries and chocolate chips for a bank holiday treat, but why save this for a bank holiday? They'll supply the brioche, you supply the other bits, and anyone you serve this to is guaranteed to feel the love. 5) Pecan pie, No Messin' Bakery Okay so we can't eat this for a few weeks, but you'll need to get organised now if you want in on No Messin 's November pie sale - i.e. the pecan pie to beat all others in aid of that US holiday Thanksgiving. Expect the email to come into subscriber inboxes in around two weeks, and jump fast if you want a piece of this nutty, deeply caramelised, crumbliest pastry filled piece of happiness in a foil container.

While 2025 marked the entry of plenty of great new restaurants to Dublin at both ends of the market, and one or two that opened and shut again so fast they felt like we dreamt them , there’s no doubt it’s been slower going than previous years. But like horse-mounted reinforcements riding over the horizon, here comes the Christmas season and a whole host of glitzy new arrivals to beef up the year’s output. From major chains making their mark in Dublin, to beloved homebirds branching out, from upmarket empires’ latest additions to back-to-the-future reboots of old areas, here’s everything of note coming soon to the city...   The Hoxton, Exchequer Street After what’s felt like years’ worth of work and scaffolding making it a pain to stroll up George’s Street, boutique hotel brand The Hoxton is making their Dublin debut in the former Central Hotel. As well as a new lease of life for the much-missed Library Bar , the development will include two new restaurants - Cantina Valentina , an all-day Peruvian picanteria with ceviche and saltado that’s proved a hit in their Brussels branch, and Dollars , a New York sandwich shop by day and natural wine bar by night. While the former’s novel enough to stand out in this stretch of the city, the latter’s up against some stiff and growing competition of late – time will tell. It’s all opening up on November 20 th .
