5 things we want to eat in Dublin this week

A feast fit for a hungry father; a summer starter with the potential to be one of this year's best; and the affogato slingers going the extra mile to make us all happy this summer. Here's five things we'd like to race out the door for this week...

1) Tonkotsu, Space Jaru

Space Jaru obviously think Dads like pork tonkotsu, because they're bringing this monster plate back in time for Father's Day this weekend. A sharing plate if ever we saw one, this has triple carbs, and three juicy pieces of pork. Actually that does sounds very Dad-worthy...

2) Sea bream crudo with ajo blanco, Etto

Etto have always done a good crudo, and new chef Ben Fehily isn't here to fix something that isn't broken. There's a bit of Uno Mas to this sea bream one, with tomato and ajo blanco, and we're all for sharing good ideas.

3) San Marzano tomatoes with ricotta and peach, One Pico

More tomatoes are popping up at One Pico down the road, this time Italy's San Marzano finest. They've concocted our dream summer plate here with ricotta, charred peach, and basil sorbet. If only they had a rooftop terrace to enjoy it on...

4) Chicken caesar bap, No Messin'

No Messin' do a monthly midweek Bap and June's is a Chicken Caesar with Manor Farm roast chicken, baby gem, bacon, sourdough croutons and Caesar dressing in one of their brioche buns. You local deli must feel embarrassed looking at this - get it from 11am Monday - Thursday at Proper Order Coffee.

5) Flavoured affogatos, Two Boys Brew

We're on high alert for affogatos around town, but Two Boys Brew are currently taking the top spot. Vanilla ice cream is topped with a double shot of their house espresso, and the icing on the ice-cream is the choice of toppings. There's dark chocolate almond crumb, plum compote, or homemade salted caramel and crushed roasted almonds. Get them all day (if you know what's good for you).
