South William Street has always been one of my favourite streets in Dublin – and things are about to get even better there with the opening of a cool new restaurant this weekend.
It's called Platform 61 and from the look of the interiors, menus and general vibe, it could be quite the spot.
Located downstairs opposite the South William and Clement and Pekoe – next door to Bagots Hutton – they'll be testing out for friends and family this evening, then opening up to the general public in the coming days just as soon as everything is spot on.
We'll let them get warmed up and into their gear before popping in for some food and letting you know what it's like – but nonetheless, exciting times for the Dublin restaurant scene!
So What's On The Menu?
The place has everything from small plates, awesome lunches and a great brunch focus. Here's a small selection of the dishes they'll be offering...
Drury Street had been edging ahead in terms of foodie spots... but this could just tip the balance back in favour of good ol' South William Street!
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 […]
