Dublin's new NYC-esque gourmet food market has nestled its way into our hearts and we don't see it leaving any time soon.
It's like walking through the wardrobe doors to Narnia... a treasure trove filled wall-to-wall with the best food around.
We took a stroll around the beautiful Wellington Quay emporium today on the hunt for some bits.
We found SO much cool, quirky, yummy and... weird stuff. Check it out...
1. DIY nut butter - €1.90/100g
If you love your peanut/hazelnut/almond butters - then you'll LOVE this.
Just inside the front door to the right, before the cheese counter - you'll find this nut butter maker.
They have something similar to this in Whole Foods over in the States, so we're thrilled to see this in Dublin. There were peanuts AND chocolate chips in this one.
YUM.
2. Gourmet popcorn - €3.95
Yep - that's GIN AND TONIC POPCORN. Wha?
3. €12 bottles of Sauvignon Blanc
Hiyaaaaa.
Just 'cos this place is fancy don't mean it's all pricey.
4. Pre-made nachos - €5.95
Just pop 'em in the oven - sound.
5. Goldfish crackers - €3.20
Anyone who has ever visited the States will know how tasty these lil guys are.
6. Mini pumpkins - €2.05
How adorable are these? Perfect for dotting around the place for Halloween.
7. Sparkling pinot grigio - in a can
Classy.
8. Gatorade
Tastes like our J1 summers.
9. Pretty pumpkins - €3.25 - €7.50
10. Fancy Irish gins <3
Jawbox Gin from Belfast (€65) and Drumshambo's Gunpowder Gin (€56.50) - heaven.
11. Dreamy gelatos
Have you ever seen the likes?
These look good enough for the Queen of England.
12. Donuts galore
But not just any donuts... these ones taste like heaven.
13. American draaanks - €1.50
Root beer, grape soda and watermelon Arizona - sugar coma hiya.
14. Grafitti aubergines
Not something you see everyday...
15. Avocado slicer
Turn your avocadon'ts into sliced avocados.
16. American cereals
You haven't LIVED until you've tried Reese's Puffs - they change lives.
At €9.60 for a box - they'd want to!
17. PINK GIN
Last, but most certainly not least, we found some raspberry Pinkster pink gin <3
