I stumbled upon this place one Saturday morning while waiting for my car in the nearby Fast Fit place. 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! read more

Parking in Donnybrook is a bitch... and that's being nice about it! 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! read more

Nice food at a good price! We stopped by here on our way back from the gym and snagged a table outside. I decided to go with the avocado on granary and J ordered the smoked salmon with scrambled eggs. J's dish was decent but the salmon was a little bland so I doubt he would repeat. My dish in the other hand was really tasty! Simple ingredients but they seasoned it well and the portion was perfect. Even with our two coffees this was a cheap meal and despite the crowd we were in and out in under an hour. Will return! read more

Visited here for brunch last Sunday. Seating available outside, so a nice spot to make the most of the sunshine. Service was excellent. Really nice bunch working here. Ordered the toast with chorizo with avocado and roasted tomato. It was decent. The only issue with it was the portion size was what you'd expect from an entree dish. I'd expect slightly more of everything for brunch, especially considering their prices. All in all I'd return but would order something else. read more

I really enjoy this place. I've been twice for brunch and was totally satisfied each time. The staff was very nice and the whole place had a friendly and comfortable atmosphere. And if you're the type who likes smoothies/juices, this place has quite the selection! Unfortunately I haven't had a chance to get lunch here yet, but I would definitely love to give it a try. Another huge positive for me was the coffee. Both visits I ordered a cappuccino with my meal and I was not disappointed. read more

Had a great brunch here! I had the hash with eggs and ham and the boyfriend had the huevos rancheros, both delighted with high quality, delicious food and fabulous service. The orange juice also was clearly freshly squeezed and was to die for! Will definitely return for the French toast or pancakes! read more

This has to be, without a shadow of a doubt, the best brunch spot in Dublin. That brunch menu literally has something for everyone -from porridge, to eggs, to french toast and even chicken wings, you're absolutely spoiled for choice! All the dishes at our table were cooked beautifully, and the portions challenged even the heftiest of hefty appetites. Had I not been so satisfied with my own hearty porridge, I could have found myself experiencing severe food-jealousy from the meals that were being brought out around me; literally every single dish looked sensational. So sensational in fact, that I was fairly close to marching into that kitchen myself and giving the chef a fist-and-chest-pump-combo to show the extent of my food appreciation. The also do great juices and smoothies. Reason for not giving it the full 5****? A little pricey. read more

Really good spot for breakfast. They have mimosas and Prosecco early in the morning. Great eggs and Irish butter. Not too expensive and a good stop before starting the day to explore. read more

Well hot damn I've found my new go-to spot for hungover/girlie lunches. The top pick for me is the warm pesto, chicken salad which I substituted the tomatoes with peppers (something they should add perhaps?) but their brunch menu is also delicious. When I went last I was suffering heavily from a night out on the town, and as such all I wanted was a fresh fruit smoothie. They were very accommodating and made two for us especially. Again, was this due to the glimmer in my eye? Perhaps not, probably because they were testing them out and wanted to see what we thought. A bit too "milky" for my liking, but good. Not for my liking was €5 price tag for testers. Definitely a spot where you are bound to bump into someone you know, a good sign. Joe the owner told me they were also expanding into juice detoxes. They got a nutritionist in to specifically design a detox plan which enhances your metabolism and fills you with nutrients. Definitely going to try that out, I'll keep you posted. Fun, young staff with an epic menu- solid 4/5. read more

I've never noticed this place before whilst passing but it's a lovely little spot. I had the American style pancakes and my boyfriend had the avocado with sourdough toast, balsamic vinegar and feta cheese with poached eggs. We both really enjoyed our meals. The staff were friendly and service was quick. I will most definitely be back! read more

Best eggs Benedict in Dublin or what??? I've tried so many eggs Benedict in different restaurants that have high reviews especially for their brunch menu ....nothing can beat this cafe I found in donnybrook. They actually use real slow braised ham instead of those which use a piece of ham that tastes like nothing. They also have a delicious brunch menu. Defo the go-to place if you are always looking for a better restaurant for brunch in dublin. read more

Went for dinner here and ordered from the early bird menu which is good value for money. Had a burger and skinny fries for my main and strawberry shortbread for dessert. I preferred the chocolate cake to my choice of dessert and the creme brûlée was also delicious! Had the Eton mess before which is my fav. Busy place with good food read more

Nice little hidden spot. Would recommend the burger for lunch. Breakfast is full of really nice options.

Capuccino was very hot, it is supposed to be at a temperature where you can start drinking it. I had to wait 10 mns or so to be able to drink it. Food was average, my hash browns were not well cooked, and the pesto on the scrambled eggs, well, did not taste like pesto. Price is bit expensive and there's almost no vegetarian option, without saying there's no vegan option at all. On top of that, one of the waitress was not paying attention to us, she seemed to be more willing to be quick than serving properly. read more

I've been here a few times as it is quite nice and there's little choice in the donnybrook area. Don't expect good service - it's seriously slow! Aside from that, the staff are pleasant and it's buzzing most days. Chicken burger - not amazing and butter spread on the burger bun!?!! Is this normal ? I don't think so! Probably ruined it for me. The prawn linguine is tasty and the chicken salad always looks great. read more

I had lunch there with a friend a few weeks ago. It's very much a women only place from what I saw, with ladies who lunch making up most of the clientele. It's better to book because it's a busy little spot especially for lunch. We both had a salad (crab and avocado for me, warm chicken and avocado for her). It looked like a generous portion from afar but when we got our plates we could see that more than 70% of it was green leaves. At 14 euros for a main course, I would quite like to see more topping than filler. Also, it's quite annoying that Dublin restaurants seem to think rocket is the only salad available in this country, but hey it's cheap and it creates a nice volume on the plate. Service was slack, and slow. All in all we enjoyed the food but personally I wouldn't pick that spot again. read more

The website said lunch is served weekdays until 4pm. We came at 3:38 pm and they said that lunch is no longer served and we would have to come back for dinner. read more

Had both brunch and dinner at this place. The portions are very decent. I also like the fact that they have a varied brunch/lunch menu over the weekends, easy to make everyone happy. read more

This place is tucked away from the main drag in Donnybrook, but it is fantastic. Cute little outdoor patio for the occasional sunny Dublin day :) First of all, they serve brunch every day of the week, which is exciting...we need more of these in Dublin. I had the Avocado Granary Toast with balsamic vinegar, mint, feta cheese, rocket and poached eggs. It was delicious and the flavours were so balanced and tangy-- craving it again right now. I also had a cappuccino which was excellent-- they use high quality coffee beans and have a great barista for sure. Great price for the quality of food, but perhaps just a tiny bit small on the portion size. Will be back again soon for sure read more

The best breakfast/brunch my fiancé and I have had during our stay in Dublin! Delicious food and really nice atmosphere. Highly recommend coming here and getting a coffee and the pesto eggs read more

I've just eaten again in this restaurant. The food is reasonable, however, this is the second time that a girl with the black hair (was up), not sure where she was from but took me a while to understand her had major attitude. Seriously, she is nasty and very impolite. Any question I had over my check or food was met with eyes rolling, sharp responses and the card charger thrown at me. She doesn't do the restaurant any justice at all. I will most definitely NOT be back. read more

I went to this place for brunch on a Sunday morning, and it was an overall pleasant experience. Food was fantastic. I had eggs Benedict and my wife had the scrambled eggs with smoked salmon. Really tasty. One big negative was that the salt was in a small dish on the table, and nothing is more gross than communal salt, so I went without. The only thing that would really turn me off returning to The Greenery was the overbearing host/manager, who chastised the young girl serving us right in front of us, which was really uncomfortable. I couldn't tell why, the service was great. Nevertheless, good food and good coffee. read more

Pretty good food here but the attitude and manner of the staff is appalling. You barely get a hello as you enter the door.

One of my ALL TIME FAVOURITE meals is the Greenery's avocado and pesto chicken salad! And what's great us they serve it both at lunch and brunch :) ! This place is always buzzing for weekend brunch! It's a pity you can't prebook! read more

Great food - decent portion sizes, good coffee, very pleasant service. I would strongly recommend for lunch or brunch.

I went here for the first time on Saturday for a spot of brunch. The young waiter that greeted us was friendly and welcomed us with a pleasant smile. He seated us down the back of the restaurant. There was a door beside us which the staff were going in and out of. This door was left open but there was another door inside that which was slamming shut each time someone went through it, it was quite loud. It slammed shut around 4 times in the space of a minute so we moved to another table. The waiter came over and took our orders. I got the eggs benedict and a cappuccino. Both tasted well and I was stuffed after it. The bread was maybe cut a little thick. My girlfriend ordered a fruit juice which never came but she liked her food also. I was close to giving this place 4 stars but the slamming door and the fruit juice were annoying, can you give half stars? Staff were very friendly though. I will go back and give it another try soon. read more

Went there for brunch on a Sunday morning not long after it opened. Only noticed it because of the tables placed on the pavement in the sunshine. Very friendly girls on the staffing, head waiter not much interested in anything. Brilliant orange juice, a large glass of really fresh, pulpy OJ and great value at €3.50. Very disappointed in my mimosa - last dregs of the prosecco went into it. I did pass this comment after tasting it and when paying for it and all I was offered was an 'Oh'. I had the French Toast, it came with some nice bacon but the toast was served like these big chunky chips. My partner had a salad and it was nice and fresh. It seems to be confused as to whether it is a cafe or a restaurant. The staff, while pleasant, gave the impression that they had never worked in a restaurant before. There are a lot of good and great restaurants in Dublin and I don't think I will be back for a second serving. read more
