5 things we want to eat in Dublin this week

BBQ scallops with crunchy chicken skin; beef tonnato with added ooomph; and iced horchata for the summer drink of 2025. Here's what we're eyeing up in Dublin this week...

1) Strawberry & white chocolate eclairs, French Revolution

There were too many strawberries around town this week to include them all in our round up of the best seasonal dishes on menus right now, but luckily we have another place to highlight them here. French Revolution's newest flavour to the menu is this white chocolate and stawberry eclair, and if you haven't made the trip to Dun Laoghaire yet, here's a good reason to do so. They say they're coming very soon - we hope that means tomorrow.

2) Chocolate horchata, Picado Mexican

Iced coffee is so last year. 2025 is all about iced chocolate. Picado's new Horchata sees Proper Chocolate's Mexican drinking chocolate merged with rice, Mexican cinnamon, milk, and Picado's own vanilla essence that's been aged for nine years(!), and this looks like the cool, sweet pick-me-up of the summer. Find it at both of their locations in Portobello and Dublin 8.

3) Beef tonnato, Woodruff

Woodruff are never not giving the people of Dublin good reason to get out to Stepaside, and this dry aged beef tonnato is just the latest. Usually made with veal, this one's going strong on flavour with only the best from Higgins Butchers, topping the tuna and anchovy sauce with crispy capers, fermented garlic scapes and sourdough crisps.

4) BBQ scallops, Orwell Road

Orwell Road made their name on a scallop and stuffed chicken wing dish, and the theme is back with a brand new bag. This time the scallops are barbecued and served with cauliflower, coconut and crispy chicken skin for crunch. We reckon this might even top the original.

5) Dahi Puri, Kasi Café

It's been a while since we had Dahi Puri, and Kasi in Temple Bar have just reminded us to rectify that. If you've never had the pleasure of those crispy shells filled with yoghurt, chutneys, potato, sev, onion, chickpeas and spices, Kasi is a great place to start. Just remember - no biting, down in one.
