Welcome to The Lovin Round Up, our weekly glance at Dublin’s main hospitality headlines.
This week, Dublin has welcomed a Portuguese bakery, a new fine dining spot and the expansion of a well known brunch brand, and sadly said goodbye to one gem of a pasta spot. Everything you need to know about the past week is here in one handy locaysh – let’s get into it.

Fasta at Connolly Station announce their closure
This underground pasta spot had a special place in the hearts of the Lovin team, and we were devastated to hear of their closure. Fasta said of their reasons for closing: “It has been a bumpy couple of years to put it mildly, however it has sadly become clear that it is no longer viable to continue at this location”.
A real hidden gem that we’re very sorry to see go.
