The 9 prizes ATF Insiders could win in March!

Just think how much better your (hopefully long) St Patrick's weekend will be if we drop into your inbox with one of these brilliant prizes this Wednesday. If you're already an Insider, you’re automatically entered into our monthly draws, with nine prizes handpicked by us, from some of the best restaurants, hotels, food and drink businesses around.

March’s draw happens on Wednesday 18th, with the winners announced on social media and contacted directly by email. If you’re not an Insider yet, you can join before midnight on Tuesday 17th and you’ll be in the draw too! Along with other benefits like getting access to exclusive content, weekly insider intel, invites to the best restaurant events in Dublin and more. Here’s what's up for grabs this month…

1) Tasting menu for two with wine pairings at Forest Avenue

Forest Avenue in Dublin 4 was the big Dublin success story at this year's Michelin awards, one of only two restaurants in the country to get a new star for 2026. We visited last week to assess things in their starry new world, and thought the food was easily the best it's ever been in the 12 years since they first opened. We're thrilled to have a tasting menu experience for two to give away this month, including one of the most exciting wine pairings we've seen anywhere (worth €380), to give away to one very, very lucky ATF Insider this month.

2) €150 voucher for Boco, Clontarf

Boco finally opened their second permanent site in Clontarf on Friday, after three years of trading from their food truck outside Harry Byrnes. It's on Vernon Avenue, and if osso bucco pizza with gremolata, and focaccia wrapped in lardo don't get you excited, we're not the same people. We're also intrigued by the lightly battered seafood cones (cuoppo), available inside or at their hatch for takeaway, and we've got a €150 voucher to give away to one of you this month which should see you through most of the menu. Book Boco Clontarf here.

3) €100 for the brand new Chongqing Hotpot in Ranelagh

Chongqing Hotpot is coming to Ranelagh, next door to (and from the same owners as) China Hunan. This one focuses on authentic Chongqing-style hot pot, with curated combinations to make it easier if it's your first time. Chongqing hot pot originates from southwest China over a century ago, when dock workers on the Yangtze River cooked meats and vegetables in a bubbling pot of chilli, Sichuan peppercorn, and spices to keep warm and energised during long days of work. Over time, it evolved into one of China’s most iconic communal dining traditions, where friends and family gather around a shared pot to cook together, and the team promise that one bite is all it will take for you to be hooked. We're got a €100 voucher to give away this month, which will get you many bites.

4) Two tickets to Sebastian Skillings x Polish Wine Fest x Sarah de Brún

Sebastian Skillings (aka The Hungry Fishmonger) and Sarah de Brún are on fire with their seafood pop ups right now, and next they're teaming up with Maja and Maggie from Polish Wine Fest for a night of bold seafood and punchy Polish wines. They're cooking three modern seafood dishes, which will be paired with four vibrant bottles from Poland’s exciting cool-climate wine scene, that are bright, expressive, and a little rebellious. It's on Thursday 14th May at The Fumbally, from 18:00 - 20:00, and tickets are €80 (plus booking fee) for food and drinks, but we've got two tickets to give away this month FOC! Get your own tickets here. 

5) Overnight stay with dinner at The Club Hotel

Club Kitchen, in The Club Hotel just off the N7, is a local favourite serving an all-day menu of breakfast, lunch and the classics done right, from crispy Irish fish & chips and seafood chowder, to spicy Korean wings, Irish sirloin steak with bottomless fries and sauces, and homemade desserts. There's Afternoon Tea and Sunday roasts too, and on Friday nights you can head in for their Supper Club - a three-course dinner for two with a bottle of wine for €100 (or €80 for the Early Bird). We've got an overnight stay with dinner for two to give away this month, for the perfect 24-hour breather close to Dublin. Check out The Club Hotel and Club Kitchen here.

6) A Nespresso Coffee Prize Pack

Nespresso and award-winning BAR 1661 are hosting coffee experiences across Dublin and Belfast this St Patrick's Day weekend, from Saturday 14th to Tuesday 17th March. Taking place at Nespresso on Duke Street in Dublin and Victoria Square in Belfast, the four-day event will showcase a menu of non-alcoholic coffee cocktails, including the Belfast Coffee, a pistachio Nespresso Martini, the classic Irish Coffee, and a Carajillo. As part of the celebrations, Nespresso is giving one lucky ATF Insider a prize pack including a Nespresso coffee machine, a selection of Nespresso coffees including the limited-edition Pistachio Vanilla Over Ice, Nespresso Barista ice cube trays, Nespresso glass coffee mugs and a Nespresso travel tumbler. Coffee lovers can book a Coffee Masterclass at the Nespresso Duke Street Boutique in Dublin at 1pm, 3pm or 5pm across the four days via the Nespresso website. For more follow @Nespresso.uk.

7) €100 voucher for Fayrouz in Dublin 8

Fayrouz on Cork Street has been serving up the tastes of Lebanon in Dublin for the past six years, with flavour-packed Arayes Lahme, freshly made falafel and vine leaves, and fattoush salads to name a few of our favourites. The mezze, grilled meats and baklawa are sensational value, and the room feels like you've stepped out of the city into a calming, Middle Eastern sanctuary. It's also a hot tip for food before a gig at Vicar Street - it's a 12 minute walk away - and there's a brand new brunch offering coming in April! They're still taking bookings the old fashioned way, by phone on 01 5560404, or you can get it delivered via their website. We've got a €100 voucher to give away this month which you can use however you like!

8) A month of dinners from Gousto

Each box includes ingredients and easy-to-follow recipe cards, making dinner quicker and simpler.

9) Hamper of Boatyard's new bottled cocktails worth €150

When it comes to cocktails, sometimes you've got to step back and let the experts take over. The Boatyard Distillery have just launched three new bottled cocktails - a Wet Martini, a Dry Martini and a Negroni - each one batched, balanced, and bottled by a team who know their ratios better than anyone. Built around Boatyard's Double Gin, these are cocktails made with precision, meaning you don't need to second guess the amount of vermouth, or how many seconds to stir for. The Dry Martini is a clean, pared-back classic; the Wet Martini offers a softer balance with more vermouth in the mix; and the Negroni has that bittersweet hit - bold and balanced. We've giving away a hamper of bottled cocktails worth €150 this month, and for more information you can visit 22.

If you want to be in the draw you know what you have to do - sign up to ATF Insiders by midnight on Tuesday 17th March. We’ll be picking winners on Wednesday 18th March, so keep an eye on your inbox, and if you’re not an ATF Insider yet, this is your sign to jump on board.
