5 things we want to eat in Dublin this week

An at home kit from one of the best taquerias in Dublin, a brilliant looking burger that's been hiding on a lunch menu, and we're getting our (better than ever looking) Halloween toffee apples in early...

1) Raw beef larb, Achara

The Achara team recently went on their travels to Thailand, and say some of the dishes they were most amazed at were the raw ones. Fast forward a bit of development and this raw beef larb has just hit the menu, with shallots, coriander stem, toasted rice powder, roasted chilli flakes, fish sauce and lime juice. It's served with shrimp crackers and fresh herbs, and good God can we think of little else this week.

2) The burger, Coppinger

Ummm excuse us - where exactly have Coppinger been hiding this burger? Their lunch menu is the answer, but with panetta, caramelised onions, aged cheddar and pickles, we think this should be a permanent fixture day or night.

3) Fritto misto, Crudo

Crudo can do no wrong in our eyes, and just LOOK at the crumb on this fritto misto with crispy gambas, squid, mussels and cod. A squeeze of lemon is all this plate needs, but that black garlic and lemon aioli on the side is the cherry on top.

4) Take home carnitas, Tacos Lupillo

Want to assemble some of the city's best tacos in your own kitchen? The answer is obviously yes. Tacos Lupillo do take home kits of either 1kg (€50) or 1/2kg (€30) of meat along with spicy salsa, fresh guacamole and tortillas to wrap it all up in. You can collect in Inchicore between 12 and 6pm on Saturday and Sunday, and orders can be sent to +353879789608. See you in the collection line.

5) Toffee apple cruffin, Bold Boy Bakery

It's toffee apple season, and we're not heading to the supermarket for their finest sugar-covered imports on a stick, we're heading to Two Pups for this Toffee Apple Cruffin from in house bakery Bold Boy. If our five-year-old selves could see us now...
