Capel Street is one of the most interesting streets in the city, where a vast array of contrasting businesses sit side by side.
Capel Street has some favourite Dublin food spots to boast like Musashi and Brother Hubbard, but there's another café on the street that I really love.
Mish Mash is a little café nestled at the very end of Capel Street, so far down that I was sure I must have passed it until I saw the beautiful white and blue entrance when I was just about to turn back around.
The café itself is small and the instant you walk in you feel the chilled out, relaxed vibe. It really feels like a hidden little gem.
I decided to order two of the specials, for starter I went with a cauliflower and hazelnut soup. It was so delicious and came with beautiful salty little croutons and a side of crushed hazelnut to sprinkle on top.
It was really unusual and the multigrain sourdough bread from Tartine just rounded it off perfectly. It was one of the nicest soups I've ever had.
I decided to go for the special salad for main which consisted of perfectly ripe, in-season plums with goats cheese, toasted almonds, a side of pesto and more of that incredible bread.
It was divine, the sweet plums and salty cheese were really nice together and the almonds gave a nice little crunch.
The whole thing was very simple, but very fresh and delicious, and I just loved how chilled out it was there. It's the perfect place to bring a book and enjoy a quiet lunch if you need to wind down for a while, it would also be a great place to catch up with a friend uninterrupted.
They also sell art in there and have the odd evening event such as live music (they're open until 9pm daily). I'd definitely recommend adding this little gem to your list of spots to hit up in the city.
The sun was shining, the ribbon was cut, and the tarmac was freshly poured – all was ready to go when I queued up among plenty of eager visitors to be one of the first to try out Emerald Park’s two new roller coasters, Na Fianna Force and The Quest. The two rides are part […]
The problematic portal opened back up on North Earl this week, and although we’re glad to see at least one Dublin project come to fruition (unlike the ones below), it seems everyone is still scratching their heads trying to figure out why exactly we need it. Whether you’re a lover or a hater of the infamous […]

Newly opened up the top of Ranelagh, this high-end bakery is a great addition to Dublin’s blooming bakery scene. Operating on a refreshing level of production and efficiency, we have no doubt that it will set the tone and up the stakes for others. Get prepared to get there early cos they sell out lippy-split […]

Scéal have really come into their stride in their first permanent home. If you’ve been here a while, you know the Lovin team’s borderline obsession with a certain bakery, one you used to only be able to find on a Thursday or Saturday morning at the Fumbally stables, between 10am and 1pm (although they rarely […]
We found ourselves standing in a queue at 11am on a Wednesday morning, so we knew the hype was real. Dublin loves a trend, as we know. Burritos, doughnuts, chicken wangs, small plates – we’re always ready to hop on the hot sauce laden bandwagon, whether it’s for burgers, or dumplings, froyo, or pastel de […]
The definition of a “feel-good” watch. Somewhere Out There You by playwright and screenwriter Nancy Harris premiered as part of Dublin Theatre Festival and is on a 6 week run at the Abbey – I was lucky enough to catch it on Monday evening, and unlike most of the plays that I have had the […]
