For a party of four we waited about 15 mins for a table inside. The staff were friendly. Both the pasta and cheeseburger were fine (not great or bad), although they said I could order the burger medium rare but it was still served well which is a risk I took as this is the standard in most European countries. Regarding the full Irish Breakfast, the eggs were overcooked which was disappointing and I prefer bacon rashers instead of streaky bacon, but otherwise everything else tasted very, very good. I substituted the white toast with sourdough which I recommend since it was amazing. They do request/suggest a tip during payment which is becoming more popular in some European counties. 3.5/5 stars. I would not return but I also would not discourage others from supporting this friendly establishment.
I got the Avocado Toast w/ a side of smoked salmon, and my wife got the Turkish Breakfast. Both were very hearty meals with good quality food. My eggs were cooked perfectly and it came atop a nice thick piece of good bread, and the salmon was really tasty. I would not hesitate to go back there or recommend it, but I give 4 stars instead of 5 for the following reasons: 1) my wife's requested "over medium" eggs were overcooked. 2) my avocado "toast" really should have been called avocado "bread".....because the bread was soft and squishy (aka, not toasted at all). 3) I felt that there should have been some sauce to add a bit more flavor to the avocado toast (such as the balsamic peppery vinegar that is sometimes served w/ avocado toast in the U.S.)....everything was quality ingredients, but it just seemed a bit bland, even after I added some salt and pepper to it myself. 4) they gave us tiny glasses of tap water and never came around to refill them (they really weren't much on the customer service front as far checking in with you to see how the food tasted or if there was anything you needed).
Stopped in for a quick breakfast. Laid back service our waitress/host seemed to be not in mood. Food was good solid 3+ place is not big inside but seemed clean. No mimosa or bloody mary until 10:30 am keep in mind.
This cozy café is an unassuming spot but makes very delicious stew. I had the beef and guiness stew which is everywhere in Ireland, but this one just hit differently. The braised beef was so tender and the flavor of the stew was deep, dark and delicious. Paired with mash potatoes and brown bread, it warms from the inside out. Perfect when the weather is wet and drizzly all day and you need to get the cold out of your bones. Would fully recommend.
Electric music mix, fast and loud beat. Busy and touristy venue. The service was okay, the pace of food was slow. The prices were moderate. Can't beat the location, right by the River Liffey on the tourist path. It's a convenient stop for a quick lunch. We ordered: 3*Fish and chips: Tempura Batter, Fresh Fillet of Haddock, served with Chips, Salad and Homemade Tartar Sauce: big portion and decent quality. Not much flavor though, mostly relied on the tartar & tomato sauce and good fries 3*Falafel burger- Special Spinach and Falafel Patty, Beef, tomato Onion, Lettuce, Tomato Relish, Gherkins, and fries: it was pretty good, nothing extraordinary.
We were staying nearby while in Dublin and decided to have a big breakfast one day. Murphy's had a lot of great options on the menu; I went with the Turkish breakfast which came with fried eggs, crisp chorizo, crisp potatoes and hash browns, cheese and olives, tomatoes and cucumbers, and toast. It was all delicious and filling. That plus a pot of tea kept me going all day as we walked all over touring around. Service was fast and everyone was friendly. The pastries the case looked amazing as well and if I weren't already so full, would have tried those as well.
Amazing. Good prices too. Indoor and covered outdoor seating. Best Irish Breakfast I've ever had.
Rating is somewhere between a 4 and 4.5! This was a great spot for breakfast in Dublin, coffee was amazing. We ordered a full Irish breakfast and the menemen; the menemen was defiantly the star of the show. Great bread with both dishes. Service was a little laid back and not very attentive but aside from that it was a great meal. The outside was a little rough around the edges but the inside was pretty cute. Overall enjoyed our experience.
This place was outstanding. The food was out of this world, service was better than most and the interior was beautiful. I had the Irish breakfast and could not finish it. The bacon was exactly like I have it all the time at home, cooked softly not crispy. The hash brown was like no other. It came with mushrooms but did not eat them. My mother ate them at said they were great. The blood pudding was earthy and not bad. The sausage was very good and the eggs were cooked perfectly. My wife had the pouched eggs. They were perfectly cooked for pouched eggs. But the part that was great on her plate were the potatoes and the cheese that came with the dish. I would recommend this place for breakfast for sure. We will probably be back on this trip for breakfast.
Sat outside and had breakfast here on our first morning (honestly bc they place we were going for was closed). But, no regrets. Enjoyed some pancakes and eggs with toast and a hash brown. Great place to enjoy breakfast while people watching. It's on the other side of the river from Temple Bar so it feels a little more real. They had an assortment of pastries as well as a good menu to choose from. Service was very good as well.
Hands down best breakfast in Dublin. Also ordered an iced latte that was sublime. I'll be talking about this breakfast for a while - service was ok, ambiance was welcoming!
Great breakfast spot in Dublin. My fiancé and I stayed at the Moxy Dublin and walked over to Murphy's. We didn't know what to expect but we were pleasantly surprised by the service, food, and vibe. Lots of people were here enjoying brunch, we had a little corner table and really just enjoyed our time and meal. The staff was attentive and the food was delicious. Would recommend to locals and visitors alike.

Delicious Irish breakfast! We went there after two other places on our list were closed (or closing for the day) I was so glad we ended up there. My goal was to have the traditional cuisine in a comfy setting with good seating options. This fit the bill. Our waiter was friendly and the food came fast. They also had some delicious looking desserts. Very satisfying. read more

After a full day of exploring museums in Dublin, we were craving something hearty and satisfying and stumbled upon Murphy's Bistro Café -- what a find. I ordered an Irish coffee (which absolutely hit the spot) and was recommended the Murphy's Special Egg. Oh my gosh... it was so good. The flavors were perfectly balanced -- savory beef chorizo, fresh feta cheese, and beautifully poached eggs with yolks cooked just right. The sriracha blended with fresh cream created this rich, slightly spicy sauce that brought everything together in the best way. Every bite was comforting but packed with flavor. Service was excellent and the ambiance is super chill with lots of cool vintage decor to look at while your food arrives. It was exactly the kind of meal you want after a long day of sightseeing -- filling, flavorful, and memorable. Such a great spot in Dublin. Would definitely return! read more

Kumpir Cafe was located right beside our hotel so we stopped in for breakfast one morning. Cute place with plenty of seating and an open kitchen up front. I ordered the full Irish breakfast with hot chocolate and my friends ordered eggs with toast and a latte. My meal was delicious. Everything was super fresh and tasty. All of the sausage were the best I've ever had and they brought a ton of toast for my friends two meals. Service was fast and friendly and prices were great. read more
