5 things we want to eat in Dublin this week

Anyone else positively reeling at the fact that it's May? Is it summer now? Or does that start in June? Why is it still only 13c? Will summer be good again like last year? Or a washout like the one before? We're channelling a PMA attitude with cold breakfast places, PB&J (not what you think) toasts, and BBQ lamb skewers...

1) Danish breakfast plate, Volumes

The perfect breakfast doesn't exi... Volumes have just added this Copenhagen-style breakfast plate to the menu and if there wasn't already a stampede to get in, this would probably have done it. There's a sourdough roll, soft boiled egg, Comté, whipped butter, seasonal jam, pickles and a date, and you can get this plate of perfection each day until 11:30.

2) PB&J, Fairmental

Fermentation fairies Fairmental are shaking up the meaning of PB&J on their Saturday menu. Forget the peanut butter, theirs is a pistachio/brioche/jalapeño, with a spring salad on the side. Consider us very interested...

3) Eggs Benedict with Guinness and treacle hollandaise, Two Pups

Every time we're confronted with the same eggs benedict/florentine/royale combo on a breakfast menu we want to scream from boredom. Two Pups must be inside our brains because this new addition to their daytime brunch menu in D8 has turned the old reliable on its head, with Bold Boy Bakery's brown soda bread topped with free range poached eggs, seasonal greens and a Guinness and treacle hollandaise. More innovation like this please!?

4) Sausage scramble, Slice

You've probably heard about Slice's famous sausage scramble, and if you were all "I've had scrambled eggs, I've had sausages, what of it", then let this little breakdown change your mind. Not sure whether the slow-roasted tomatoes, herb gremolata, or homemade hot sauce did it, but we're offically obsessed.

5) BBQ lamb and padrón pepper skewers, Orwell Road

New head chef Leticia Miranda has shaken things up over at Orwell Road in Terenure, and with dishes like this BBQ Lamb Rump and padrón pepper skewer it's not hard to see why the reviews as as good as they have been. She's paired it with a brown butter hummus (where have you been all my life), sumac, and a celeriac vinaigrette, and if we were picking the dishes we most want to eat over summer 2026 this one is right up there.
