After a day of sightseeing and whiskey tasting, we were shuffling around the area on foot for a long time looking for something appetizing and passed by Corfu a few times. The third time was the charm; I convinced my friend to go in and we were salivating at a fantastic wine list, very authentic but home style food, and a wonderful Greek ambience very removed from the often rambunctious and inebriated feel of the Temple Bar area. We were hungry so we sampled a wide assortment of mezeh (appetizers); their tzatziki was really fresh and better than any I've ever had in the USA. I ordered the mixed grill/souvlaki platter and it was so immensely flavorful and juicy, I left wishing I could cook meat so well. And finally, we sampled no fewer than 4 of their Greek wines whose mineral-y qualities combined beautifully with the food. We left here happy, stuffed, and maybe a little sauced. But it was a much better saucing than at a cheap touristy bar around the corner! LOOK FOR CORFU, you won't regret it!

We found this restaurant, which was near where we were staying in the Ballsbridge neighborhood. One fantastic thing about this restaurant is that it is BYOB/BYOW. So, do as we did, and stop by Baggot Street Wines just around the corner from this place; and buy your beer or wine! Once we got to this restaurant, were we impressed!!! We love Mediterranean cuisine, and it was absolutely the right choice that night. It was pretty busy on a Wednesday night, which to us is always a good sign. Even though it was busy, we were able to seated right away. Also, the aromas of the food could be sensed as soon as you walk in. Oh, it smells so good throughout the restaurant! We ordered the hummus starter, and we just ate it up with our pita bread. I don't know what spices they mix in it, but it was just so tasty. Definitely recommend the hummus! For our meals, I ordered the salmon special with spicy potatoes; and my husband ordered the falafel entree with baba ghanoush. What I said about the hummus goes the same for the baba ghanoush. Seriously, it was the best tasting baba ghanoush ever. Our entrees didn't disappoint either. This restaurant definitely stands out and is a must when you're in Dublin!

Every bite tasted like it came straight from a cherished family recipe. This cozy, family-run restaurant radiates warmth and hospitality from the moment you walk in -- you instantly feel like part of the family. The hummus and baba ghanoush are out of this world: creamy, fresh, and full of flavor. The shawarma was perfectly seasoned and tender, and the Lebanese potatoes were crisped to perfection with just the right touch of garlic and spice. We finished with strong, fragrant Lebanese coffee and flaky, melt-in-your-mouth baklava -- the perfect ending to a fantastic meal. Every dish was clearly made with love and attention to detail. It's the kind of hidden gem you feel lucky to discover. Tucked away in Dublin, this place deserves far more attention. And as if the food weren't reason enough to fall in love, the lovely lady proprietor is warm, welcoming -- and a Metallica fan! Seriously, how cool is that? Highly, highly recommend!

Visiting Ireland for the first time, I did my best to read up on good places to grab breakfast,…read morebaked goods in Dublin and Brother Hubbard popped up on a few lists, Reddit posts, so I put it on my list to try and I'm glad I did! I walked in on a Wednesday morning, right as they opened at 9am, and was seated immediately. The sit-in part of Brother Hubbard is bright, relaxing, spacious with plenty of tables inside and there's a patio outside with plenty of tables as well. The waitress came over with a menu and gave me plenty of time to look it over. She was very courteous and pleasant, checking in throughout my time there, never hovering. For breakfast, I ordered an Americano, a ginger scone, and their Irish Oat Porridge - Classic. Their porridge is organic oats made with milk and with ordering it as "Classic", it was served with cream and honey. Starting with the ginger scone, this was another case of a perfectly baked scone - Crispy, golden exterior with a moist, buttery interior. The flavor of ginger was perfectly balanced and the raisins inside were a nice supplement to the scone. The porridge was really good, I loved the creaminess of it! Both did a nice job of filling me up and setting me up for the day of walking to come. Funny enough, around 3:30pm, I stopped here again to grab a mid-afternoon treat and ordered the chocolate and hazelnut Babka, their soft bun filled with chocolate and toasted hazelnuts. This pastry was crazy tasty! A slightly crispy exterior with a croissant-like inside chocked full of chocolate and those toasted hazelnuts. This was so rich and truly decadent. Brother Hubbard is a gem of a breakfast and pastry spot! I appreciate the relaxing café environment with friendly staff and high-quality food. I know if I come back to Dublin, I'd come back to grab breakfast, or perhaps another Babka.

Brother Hubbard is a solid spot for breakfast and brunch, serving entrees, lighter fare and offers a pastry assortment that will have you pondering about getting takeout. I visited Brother Hubbard on a Sunday, half an hour after it opened and was able to be seated immediately. However, the brunch rush came afterwards and by the time I left, the entire place was filled. It's popular. And yes, it's the same spot Phil Rosenthal ate at. I even saw the owner who was featured on the show here, helping out with clearing tables and so forth. I ordered the traditional Irish breakfast and an iced chai latte. The food was good and actually, not as heavy as I anticipated. It came with an egg, sausage, bacon, beans and a pudding, which I had to look up. It's ground meat with oats and is molded into a patty. It didn't taste bad, so can see why it's served around these parts of the world. And the meal also came with another item I had to look up, colcannon bread, which was a potato bread with kale. And it was my favorite part of the breakfast! Delicious. If you're looking for a breakfast spot in Dublin, then I'm pretty sure you already know about Brother Hubbard, which is popular, all for good reason. The food was tasty, service was friendly and I loved how bright and welcoming the restaurant was. I was satisfied.

Nestled on Parnell Street, which is known for its diverse food scene and proximity to the…read moreever-popular O'Connell Street, Rotana Cafe is a "blink and you'll miss it" storefront; the interior space is clean and café-style, with simple seating and a glass case displaying various Lebanese delights. The vibe is relaxed, efficient, and no-frills, with the comforting aroma of charcoal-grilled meats and freshly baked bread filling the space. At around 6:30pm on a Friday night, the restaurant was almost completely full, and I'm glad our party of five made a reservation in advance, as we were immediately seated. The menu is extensive, ranging from your familiar favorites like Falafel and Halloumi to generous Mezze platters and large-format entrees. Prices are fairly standard for Dublin (€20-30pp) if you split several dishes among multiple people, tapas style. We began with a couple orders of their Fresh Lebanese Oven Bread (€2.50/pc); while it seems like a steep price to pay for a piece of bread, it's a generous portion, and it comes pillowy and warm out of their ovens, ready to be dipped in a variety of sauces. As a group, we decided to just split a lot of appetizers; we started off with their Warak Inab (€9.90), which were tender, stuffed vine leaves with toothsome rice, tomato, and parsley, with a hint of lemon juice and olive oil. Their Falafel (€6.50 for 4 pc) is solid if not stellar; each ball was expertly fried, but we found them a bit bland. Their Sambousek Cheese (€7.90) is what I can only describe as an elevated Lebanese mozzarella stick: a deep-fried pastry filled with feta and mozzarella, accented with herbs. I enjoyed that this wasn't too greasy, and the cheese had a lovely, slightly-melty texture. Their Halloumi Cheese (€9.50) was fried and grilled, with a mild flavor, complemented by the fresh earthiness of mint, tomatoes, cucumber and basil pesto sauce. Their Manakeesh were a standout - described as a "Lebanese Pizza" with very thin dough, we ordered their Manakeesh Halloumi Cheese (€12.90) topped with melty halloumi cheese and toasted sesame seeds, as well as their Manakeesh Meat & Tomato (€13.90) with minced lamb, tomatoes, red peppers, and pomegranate dressing. We appreciated the tender, slightly-stretchy dough, as well as the balanced combination of flavors and textures that each Manakeesh came with. Each was easily shareable - a bit larger than an American personal-sized pizza. Their Lamb Kofta BBQ (€16.90) comes with a juicy, charcoal-grilled minced lamb skewer, mixed salad, tahina sauce on top and on the side, and Lebanese Pitta Bread. The meat is well-seasoned and the tahina sauce is creamy and delicious, but we wanted a slightly larger portion of meat for the price. Lastly, we split a 2-person portion of their Kunafa (€16.90 for 2-portion) among the five of us, which is crunchy, string-like dough combined with stretchy, sweet mozzarella cheese, baked and lightly flavored with a homemade honey syrup. The mix of crunchy dough, stretchy cheese, and sticky honey made for a lovely contrast, though our Lebanese friend remarked that this version was much more red in color than she was used to. I will also say that we found this a bit overpriced for what it was.is brusque but not unfriendly, and relatively fast, even on a busy Friday night. There are cheaper Middle Eastern options for a quick bite, but this is a place I'd return to for a good sit-down meal! All in all, Rotana City is a decent option for Lebanese food in Dublin; it's pricey for what it is (especially with the mandatory service charge), but probably one of the only places where you can find such an extensive menu with both familiar favorites and traditional dishes. Service is a bit slow but friendly, and everything was solid if not stellar - not a place I'd go out of my way for, but a good option if you're craving Middle Eastern food!

Sit in for the buffet lunch (€9.50 for all you can eat) and make the most of the hot food on offer including chicken with rice, a rich tomatoey stew or two, hot vege and more.
