A sweet London institution has popped up in Dublin for just a few weeks, and just in time for summer.
Strawberry & Co has just opened a temporary pop-up in Dublin's at the Powerscourt Townhouse Centre, complete with sweet treats inspired by the chocolate covered strawberries made famous by London's Borough Market, but with a distinctly Irish twist.
At a time when pastries and sweet treats of all descriptions are booming in the city, Strawberry & Co have unveiled their simple offering of fresh strawberries slathered in melted milk chocolate, poured straight from a non-stop fountain of molten chocolate.
There is another location in Dubai, with a menu item inspired by the now-viral Dubai chocolate.
For their Irish pop-up, however, the brand have opted to use hand-picked Wexford strawberries that are drizzled with melted Swiss milk chocolate (€9.50).
Pastry chef Ludovic Lantier has also created a special summer menu for the run, which features 'Dubai style' strawberries topped with pistachio cream and roasted nuts (€12.95). Also available are summer-appropriate Wexford strawberries marinated in fresh lime and maple syrup, served with Madagascan vanilla Chantilly cream (€10.50).
Speaking about the menu, Lantier said: "We've all seen the queues at Borough Market and elsewhere overseas for these and the buzz on TikTok, but we wanted to elevate that concept with beautiful Irish strawberries and a more refined finish. The menu is playful, luxurious, and simply delicious!
"There’s something timeless about strawberries and chocolate, but this is about more than nostalgia. It’s about joy, indulgence, and creating a little moment of magic in the middle of your day."
The menu also features drinks, including an iced strawberry matcha (€8.50) made with strawberry purée, premium matcha and creamy oat milk, and a strawberry mojito* (€13) made with strawberry purée.
The pop-up runs until August.
