Burnt cheesecake, a cocktail in a beaker and a candlelit fianna feast.
The Food
Burnt Basque cheesecake
Urbanity, 11 Coke Lane, Smithfield
Urbanity know a thing or two about creating some aesthetically pleasing plates, and their take on the classic burnt Basque cheesecake certainly fulfils the brief. The team out in Smithfield always look to what's in season to create their dishes, that's why they've made up their cheese cake with one of the seasons' must-have stalks, topping it with rhubarb compote, adding rose & vanilla poached rhubarb and pomegranate seeds, this dessert demands to be plated by the shovel-load.
The Drink
A Science Experiment
The Lab, 54A Thomas Street
They love a theme at The Lab, the interior inspired by the chicest of science labs, the pizzas are the product of sourdough experimentation, and the drinks are as exciting as measures get. This spritz in particular carries the theme, it comes dissembled, one glass topped with candyfloss and the other a scientific beaker. Made up of lemon juice, elderflower and prosecco, this drink is an inbuilt science experiment.
