The popular baked goods spot has a new sit-in location serving its speciality brunch and empanadas. Expect Argentinian takes on classic brunch dishes, as well as signature cakes and bakes. The star of the menu has to be Choripán – grilled chorizo in crusty bread served with hand cut fries, salsa criolla and homemade chimichurri. A flavourful feast! @bakeology_in

Homemade Gelato Hatch, I Monelli, Portobello, Dublin 1
This beloved family-run Italian restaurant has opened a gelato hatch, come rain or shine. Open daily from 3pm, all gelato is made in-house with gorgeous flavours like Italian coffee, pistachio, lemon sorbetto and more. It’s the perfect antidote to any noisy ice-cream vans overcharging for generic brands, while you can enjoy an authentic taste of Italia right on your doorstep. @imonellidublin

The decadent French-inspired café Ladurée has teamed up with Mafia Matcha for something even creamier and more delicious than just a regular iced matcha latté. The two have come together to create a limited-edition ceremonial matcha ice-cream made with first-harvest Japanese matcha and an oat-based cream, suitable for vegans. Don’t miss your scoop! @ladureeireland
