5 things we want to eat in Dublin this week

Despite the unpredictable weather (jokes, we all know July in Dublin = washout), there's all kinds of summer feels in the new dishes hitting menus across the city this week. From razzleberry pies to rosé jelly desserts, here's what we've been thinking about to forget the rain...

1) Razzleberry pie, No Messin' Bakery

What's a razzleberry you ask? We did, and found out it's a mix of almost every Irish berry available to No Messin' Bakery in Smithfield from Malone's fruit farm in Carlow - raspberries, strawberries, blackberries, blueberries and gooseberries. Add to that Irish wheat from The Little Mill in Kilkenny, free range eggs from North Wicklow and Irish butter (just LOOK at that flaky pie dough), and we think this would beat even your Granny's most impressive handiwork. It's €31 and only available through this special link sent to those subscribed to their newsletters.

2) Tamales with truffle, Suertudo

Suertudo in Ranelagh are keeping us on our toes with new dishes seeming to hit the menu every week. The "Tamal con Trufa" has just arrived and get a load of this for a spin on a traditional Mexican snack food. Truffle butter, red pepper, goat cheese, macadamia nuts, salsa asada & courgette flower. Aye aye aye...

3) Lamb kafta slice, Mani

All this week at Mani on Drury Street you can get this special Lamb Kafta slice as part of One Plate For Palestine, with 100% of proceeds going to charities working to provide food, water and relief in Gaza. They're topping their pizza al taglio with spiced and smashed lamb mince, housemade labneh, sumac onions and cheese, and even without the added charitable benefit we'd be queuing up for a slice.

4) French toast with labneh ganache and sumac strawberries, Slice

There's another very special special on at Slice in Stoneybatter this week, also taking part in One Plate For Palestine. Their D7 offering is a French toast with caramelised white chocolate, labneh ganache, mejdool date caramel, sumac strawberries and pistachios. If you can't make it in you can still donate here.

5) Rosé and peach jelly, Canal Bank Café

If summer was a dessert, it would be this rosé and peach jelly with peach mascarpone, raspberries, crushed amaretti biscuits and almonds at Canal Bank Café. A glass of pink bubbles on the side and some sun on our face and we'd be anybody's.
