Brunch is the new craze around Dublin. We have probably always done it; it just didn’t have an official name before! Cafes in the city have embraced this breakfast/lunch hybrid with dedicated brunch spots popping up all over. If you’re a fan of eggs, pancakes, coffee and sometimes even mimosas, we’ve put together our best Dublin brunch spots, all of which are tried, tested and approved by PREMIER SUITES serviced apartments Dublin Ballsbridge staff.
1. Roly’s Bistro
We’ll start close to home in a place which has become an institution in Ballsbridge, Roly’s Bistro. Their café has a fantastic brunch menu with plenty of options to suit all tastes. Available from 11-4pm every day, the brunch menu has a variety of traditional breakfast foods combined with a more modern offering including a very sophisticated Castletownbere crab cake. Instead of the brunch usual (combo of prosecco and orange juice), Roly’s offer a selection of brunch cocktails – with the very popular Aperol Spritz in pride of place.
2. The Girl & The Goose
Less than 5-minutes’ walk from our serviced apartments in Dublin lies The Girl and The Goose, a French-inspired restaurant specialising in brunch. They have won awards from top food critics in the country and Trip Advisor excellence, unsurprisingly as the chef has years of experience in top restaurants in Dublin like Chapter One. It’s the perfect place to grab breakfast, lunch or dinner but they do an especially good brunch. There is a good combination of salads, sandwiches, breakfast dishes and their set menu 2- or 3-course brunch is available from 2-4pm on Saturday & Sunday.
3. San Lorenzos
San Lorenzos is a modern Italian inspired restaurant in the city centre, famous for its fantastic brunch menu. It’s a fast-paced restaurant so not exactly the place to go for a quiet brunch to read the newspaper but if you want a fun atmosphere, great music and fantastic food, it’s the place to be. Their brunch tacos are an unusual but delicious addition to the already alternative menu and there is something to suit every taste. If you have a sweet tooth, their Coco Pops crunchy French toast is to die for!
4. Sophies
Set atop the Dean Hotel, Sophies is a modern rooftop restaurant with glass walls, affording its diners with a magnificent 360-degree view across the city. Their extensive brunch menu is a combination of their healthy breakfast, a ‘specials’ menu and a selection of pizzas so there is something for everyone, no matter how hungry you are! The ‘mains’ section has everything from salad to steak and their side of parmesan, tarragon and crispy pancetta fries complement everything on the menu! They have an impressive dessert menu too; in case you need to satisfy your sweet tooth.
5. Brother Hubbard
What was originally Sister Sadie on South Circular Road, Brother Hubbard rebranded and extended to two sites, one North and one South Dublin to keep up with the huge demand for great quality Dublin brunch. Brother Hubbard is one of the original brunch spots and listed as one of the ‘top 100 places to eat in Ireland’ for many years, their wholesome and refreshing approach to food is unrivalled in the area. A really good Turkish Eggs Menemen is hard to find but Brother Hubbard does it and so much more to perfection. Highly recommended and well worth the 8-minute drive from your serviced apartments in Dublin.
6. The Orange Goat
Another delicious restaurant located just outside our doorstep, The Orange Goat is incredibly popular with locals and guests alike! Serving a variety of delicious breakfast and lunch options, they have received a TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence for due to the overwhelmingly positive reviews received by guests. The café itself has a warm, welcoming atmosphere with knowledgeable staff who are happy to advise on seasonal offerings and cater to any nutritional requirements you may have.
