5 things we want to eat in Dublin this week

It's a July fruit extravaganza, there's melted cheese for days, and our favourite cocktail inspires the city's newest chicken wings. Here's what we really really want to eat in Dublin this week...

1) July Specials, Elliot's

Who do Elliot's think they are coming up with specials like a fig leaf, raspberry and coconut croissant tart; a matcha and gooseberry choux au craquelin; and a kimchi laminated brioche. We have enough to be doing at the weekend without having to suffer this level of FOMO.

2) Triple Strawberry Bakewell, Mud Bakery

They had us at strawberry. At triple strawberry bakewell we were signed, sealed and delivering ourselves to Mud Bakery at Glasnevin Market. Strawberry jam, roasted strawberries and fresh strawberries - the season's short, how better to make the most of it.

3) Melted Cooleney Cheese with Crispy Bread, Ely Wine Bar

From sweet to cheese, we're shook at how good Ely Wine Bar's melted Cooleney cheese looks. That crispy bread for dipping is a gamechanger. Find it on the small plates menu.

4) Margarita chicken wings, Chimac

Never have we been more tempted to run for a plate of chicken wings, than when we saw these Margarita ones from Chimac. Twice-fried for extra crunch, they're finished with salt, lime, tequila and tajin - what genuis came up with this. Find them on special right now.

5) Tupa lamb ribs, Bahay

Bahay have wasted no time ripping up Filipino flavoured trees since taking over the kitchen at Kaldero just last week. Early reports are fantastic, and we're hardly surprised looking at these Tupa lamb ribs. There's a humba glaze on the McLoughlin butcher meat (they describe it as Adobo's sweeter cousin), then they add fermented black bean and muscovado sugar, before finishing it on the Smokin' Soul grill. Pickled kolhrabi on the side is the crunchy icing on the cake.
