Set in the middle of Ranelagh village, this eaterie serves the freshest almond croissants and mouth watering paninis. Everything here is just slightly different to other lunch venues, giving it charm and holding the secret to the food’s full flavour. The rustic ambience attracts the chic set, especially at weekends when you could easily forget you're in Dublin and instead in an Italian village. There's also a great takeaway menu, so grab a healthy and very cheap panini before heading into town. Painted bright purple and on a corner, you can't miss this landmark building in trendy Ranelagh village.
