The summer is almost here… and thank god for that.
Come rain or shine, it’s safe to say that we’ll be eating and dining out to our heart’s content as the weather heats up.
Thankfully, restaurants and bars have been busy putting together a whole host of delicious summer-y things for us to eat and drink.
Here are some of the best summer menus we’ve come across from around the country.
The Dylan Hotel, Dublin
You can’t spell summer without ceviche. No really, you can’t.
And the five star Dylan Hotel have got a divine scallop one on their new summer menu. There’s also a vegetable pappardelle that’s to die for.

Aniar, Galway
Summer menus aren’t just for summer. Sometimes, they’re for one night only.
On May 30th, award-winning chef Meeran Manzoor will join JP McMahon in the newly renovated Aniar to serve a menu combining the West of Ireland with Manzoor’s Tamil Nadu heritage. Divine.
Six by Nico, Dublin
The iconic Six by Nico has just announced their Mexican-inspired summer menu, available for six weeks only.
The new menu aims to transport diners from the hazy cactus deserts of Tijuana to the vibrant, bustling streets of Mexico City with each course. Spicy marg, anyone?
Marco Polo, Limerick
One of Limerick’s finest dining establishments, the team at Marco Polo has been busy crafting a new fresh and vibrant menu.
Mussels and a glass of red, please.

If you’re looking for a delicious cocktail, Cask is the place.
They’ve recently added a few new items to their food menu, but it’s the cocktails that are exciting us. Red Rover is an appletini “with notions.”
