I'd choose cheese over chocolate any day, in fact I think I'd choose cheese over anything tbh, except maybe my dog.
I'm always on the hunt for the best cheesy dishes in Dublin and when I heard there was a cheese pop-up on Stephen Street, I nearly fell of my chair.
Meltdown is Dublin's newest communal pop-up that serves melted cheese madness, artisan coffee and wine.
They take the wonderful Irish delicacy, that is the cheese toasty, to a whole new level with a range of drool-worthy flavours.
There are five decadent sandwiches on offer at the moment, each one cheesier than the last. They even serve a pulled pork toasty loaded with mac'n'cheese, omg.
This tasty number is the Spicy Cajun Chicken, made from sourdough, cheddar, cajun mayo, cajun chicken and jalapeno peppers:
As well as the sambos, Meltdown serve up some whopper coffee from Upside to put a kick in your step. They also offer a cheese board with a delicious range from Sheridan's - the ideal treat for any cheese lover.
I think I'll be in here a little too often, if I'm being honest.
The pop-up will be running for the next three months and believe me, you need to try it before it's gone - So get in there while you can.
It's located in a deadly space, with lots of room and big comfy couches and it's open until late. The downstairs is class and it's available for events or occasions, so if you're looking to set up something, it would be ideal.
There's also some class bits for sale upstairs too - Funky socks, knitted hats, quirky jumpers and Together For Yes merch - Can you tell I'm just a tad obsessed?
Whether you're a lover of a pongy blue or a classic cheddar - You've got to give this place a go.

We’re in the final countdown. Yes, we have speculated whether this 20 year old trend is slowly dying, perhaps evident by the fact there aren’t more cafés whipping up pumpkin spice and everything nice on this list, but basic as it may be, it’s a celebration of autumn in my eyes, and I can’t help but […]

Dublin is glutted with literary magazines. They’re ten a penny; if today’s penny is actually €15 each. In 2017 Justine Carbery wrote in The Irish Independent “literary journals proved to be constant stars in a fluctuating market. Ireland, with its rich history of independent literary magazines, finds itself in rude health today with many new […]

(and Always) It’s never been more vital to support Queer-Owned Spaces in Dublin. Put your money where your morals are as often as you can.
