Irish Breakfast

Amazing brunch. The Irish breakfast was delicious, the French toast was perfect, every bite was wonderful. The owner was very welcoming and the staff was very attentive without being interruptive. Lovely spot for brunch on the water!

Eggos mexicalos
Em K.

Super friendly staff, great service, great view of the canal (if you sit near the windows), but sort of overpriced and mediocre brunch. It was okay. I was just expecting a little more based on the raving reviews. I ordered the breakfast of champions and had a bite of my husband's Mexican eggs. The avocado salsa in both of these dishes was not fresh and the eggs in Mexican eggs were over cooked. The yokes weren't runny at all. The cassava rosti in the breakfast of champions was huge and crispy on the outside. The smoked salmon was fresh and plentiful. Since there are so many highly rated brunch places in the area, I'm not sure if we would return. But it's worth checking out if you're in the area and don't want to venture too far away from grand canal dock.

I'm in love with this restaurant! It's literally right by the waters so the view is amazing! I came here around 10:30am, a little after prime breakfast time and it wasn't really that busy, which was nice as I can enjoy my breakfast peacefully. I sat right by the giant window so that I can admire the serene beauty of the sun reflecting on the water. The main reason why I chose this restaurant is that's it's the closest one to my hotel and where my husband works so that he can easily join me for a meal. Additionally, I really wanted to try the Irish black pudding which was surprisingly hard to find. I've tried different types of blood sausages from other cultures so I was pretty excited to try the one from Ireland. I got the standard Irish breakfast and enjoyed everything except for the beans. It was a little too sweet in my opinion. I also really enjoyed the cup of matcha latte! They made it really well. Eventually my husband was able to join me and I ordered him the same thing and an orange juice. Super glad that the orange juice is fresh squeezed. We both enjoy our breakfast and really took our time to soak in everything! By the time we're done, the restaurant was getting ready for lunch service. They even have blankets for the outdoor seating in case it gets cold.

Pimms pitcher - already poured!
Chantee F.

We enjoyed a lovely meal outside with a nice view of the canal. It took awhile to get our order placed but not long to wait. We were wowed by the giant pitcher of Pimms and cute drinking glasses. Four types to choose from was a nice selection. The food was excellent. I had a nice grilled piece of cod atop mashed potatoes with leeks, broccoli and tomatoes. My companions had the fish tacos, two giant serves with dipping sauces and cassava crisps; and the large bowl of spicy chicken wings. Those were cooked perfectly and paired well with the blue cheese dressing. Service was slow getting the bill. I hate having to flag someone down when they don't check on the table. However, it was a pleasant meal on a sunny day in Dublin. How lucky!

I would definitely recommend lunch in this place. Friendly, fast and helpful service with beautiful food. I had the beef burger with cheddar and bacon, perfectly cooked and so tasty. I also had the baked cheesecake for dessert, which was so good I forgot to take a photo before I started eating. The decor is uber-cool but still very comfortable. the place manages to walk the fine line of being hip but not totally up itself.

Latte

What an amazing breakfast. Staff was some of the friendliest I have had anywhere. Eggs Benedict was simply delicious, and the lattes hit the spot. Definitely recommend this to any travelers.

My fave Earl Grey tea
Yvonne M.

Great brunch spot! So.. turns out everything shuts down in Dublin on Sunday until 12pm. And closes early too!. We stopped here for brunch and were so glad we did. The food was fresh, hot and delicious - just what 4 starving americans needed! I ordered a short stack (3 pancakes) interesting fact that I discovered.. it doesn't include free syrup! That was surprising to me because in the states that comes included. I added fresh strawberries and whipped cream too. I chose a side of "skinny fries" hoping for some sort of hashbrowns, but quickly discovered its literally skinny fries.. and they come piping hot with a delicious dipping sauce. I also couldnt resist a cup of hot earl grey herbal tea (fave) since Im abroad. It came with a dish of brown and regular white sugar cubes. I tried it with the brown and liked it. (Will have to try that at home) I would absolutely eat here again the next time I visit Ireland. The food and service were great.

Full irish
Jennie C.

AMAZING brunch. We made it here right before the Sunday rush; I'd been trying to call in all morning to make a reservation but I realized after I arrived why no one was picking up the phone (super busy). Expect a wait if you come anytime after 11am. We each ordered the Herbstreet Full Irish and the waiter was kind enough to let me switch black pudding for baked beans. The toast is SO good and you get a nice thick slice. The sausage was huge and cooked perfectly (although mine was cut up all over...I think it was the one used to test that the sausages were cooked thoroughly). The most unique and amazing thing they had was the corned beef hash - corned beef chunks mixed into hash browns with a hint of spicy peppers. So much goodness! This full irish was delicious and well worth the money. Also got an orange juice - fresh with pulp! I can't wait to come back and try their rum banana french toast and pancakes! YUM.

This is one of the popular Grand Canal Dock cafés. Arrive at lunch-time, and the place will be packed with a mix of suits working in nearby offices and groups of middle-aged women in deep conversation. As has been pointed out in previous reviews, this is a really nice place, especially when the weather is good, as the outside tables are a perfict spot to linger for an afternoon in this lively area. Inside has a more plush décor and can be a bit noisy, so I'd always prefer a table outside, even though the sun isn't shining. You won't find any surprises on the menu, but I like their quiche and calamari. It's a little pricey for casual lunch, but a good place to meet a few friends for lunch once in a while, if only for the change of scenery.

Not a good lobster roll :(

Donnybrook

I stumbled upon this place one Saturday morning while waiting for my car in the nearby Fast Fit…read moreplace. As it was early in the morning I went for the eggs florentine and wasn't disappointed. It was delicious! The coffee was good too. When leaving I ordered a chai latte to go and I have to admit it was the worst chai latte I've ever had so I wouldn't recommend that one ;) The rest is great. The place was hopping when I was leaving which I usually look at as a great thing! Definitely worth a go again I'd say!

Parking in Donnybrook is a bitch... and that's being nice about it!…read more However, there are many really good reasons why you would put the time and effort into finding a spot to rest your wheels - noteworthy among them is the Greenery. We piled in, all 16 of us for an office lunch last week, the place was busy with a good atmosphere and despite the fact that nearly all the tables were full, our meals came out quickly and correct for all. It's nice when that happens, you aren't worrying about clock-watching and only having so much time before you have to be back in the office. I had the burger as the pulled pork had sold out (gutting); the burger, as with all the mains dishes, was HUGE. I'm a big guy, I like food, I will always clear my plate (because otherwise mommy would be mad... who me? issues?....not at all). I struggled here, I only just finished the mountainous meal served with the slightly too greasy fries... but finish I did.... because I'm a good little boy. Overall it was tasty, not so much so that I'll rant and rave and promise to be back next week... but good enough and I certainly won't object to going back! Oh, I got to try a couple of the wings as well - they were VERY good!

Ballsbridge

A little away from all the touristy places you'll find this goldmine of decadence in the breakfast…read morezone. Start with some caffeine or stronger bubbles, then dive right into those blueberry lemon buttermilk pancakes. Or perhaps enjoy a full Irish breakfast (with free tea). Those lighter eaters will probably find the berry granola bowl tasty o avocado eggs, but meanwhile I'll be eating the biggest things they have. And it's not just about breakfast (others say, not me). Tackle the firecracker chicken burger or prawn pappardelle midday. Vegan choices like sweet potato fritters will thrill as well. And of course fries for a side or broccoli when you can't take any more excess. Meanwhile I'm sure many of you are bypassing the food because drinks abound here: beer, wine, cocktails, margaritas, etc. I'd be surprised if you can't find your favorite, and if it didn't exceed your wildest dreams. Great location in Ballsbridge, walkable from many spots, and I'll return next time I'm in town.

The brunch was amazing, the Caesar salad was so big that 2 people could eat from it and it was just amazing. The restaurant looks awesome compared to many other restaurants in Dublin. The staff was very friendly and nice. The coffee is really good. I would come back without second thoughts, and I will. Prices are ok, pretty affordable.
