Go Low and Slow at The Dylan
Friday – Sunday
The Dylan’s Low & Slow menu (available from 4pm every Friday, Saturday and Sunday) features a selection of meats slow cooked for 24 hours on a BBQ smoker grill. Nab a seat on the terrace and try the smoked Irish beef brisket served with corn bread, chipotle fried shrimp and a spicy kimchee slaw or sink your teeth into glazed BBQ pork ribs drizzled in Kitty O’Byrne turf sauce with a crunchy fennel, apple and radish salad or the sticky pork shoulder on a brioche bap. Full menu here.
