AH, LOVELY BRUNCH.
One of those millennial meals that would make our parents tut and tell us we have notions, it’s also one of the most enjoyable times of the week. A leisurely occasion, helped along by plenty of eggs and cocktails, a time to meet friends and chat about the week that has come before.
So where’s best to do it in Dublin’s fair city? Let’s take a look…
Conveniently located in the heart of town, just a hop and skip up George’s Street from Dame Street. Brasserie Sixty6 has been a constant feature of the Dublin restaurant scene for many years now – you’re in safe and reliable hands here.
Menu highlight: Nothing says “weekend” like their poached eggs and lobster with broccoli on toasted brioche
Bibi’s is tucked away in a sleepier redbrick part of Dublin 8, but it’s worth the little stroll out of the city centre for sure. Perfect for sitting outside and watching all the dog-walkers go by on their way to the canal.
Menu highlight: Try the Turkish eggs – the spiced butter is unreal
A hip and happening brunch spot, which recently underwent a renovation – so if you haven’t been in a while, it’s well worth poking your nose back in. They call it the Brunch of Champions for a reason, y’know.
Menu highlight: This is definitely the place to check out the dessert menu – and we don’t wanna pick just one. Pick a few and get a spoon to share
The big kahuna of the brunch scene. Well-known for their cocktails just as well as their food – their Bloody Mary (pictured below) features a quail’s egg, bacon, olive, and pickle. It’s a meal in a glass. Dillinger’s is in the heart of bustling Ranelagh, so there’s plenty to do and see afterwards too.
Menu highlight: Cocktails aside, try the nachos
A companion restaurant to the well-loved Brother Hubbard on Capel Street, Sister Sadie is just off South Richmond Street in the south side of the city.
Menu highlight: The home-baked beans will be a welcome treat for veggies in your group (and the carnivores can add some pan-fried chorizo)
Nestled just beside the Red Line Luas tucked between Smithfield and Stoneybatter is where you’ll find Wuff. The perfect place for a full Irish fry-up with all the fancy trimmings.
Menu highlight: Baileys and Toblerone cheesecake – need we say any more?
Just a few stops down the tracks from Wuff and you’ll find The Winding Stair, with a stunning location peeking out onto the Ha’penny Bridge.
Menu highlight: Plenty here for fish-lovers between the seafood chowder, Killybegs tuna and Doran’s kippers
For a great day out, go to town – and get there with Luas Cross City. Come into Dublin city and enjoy everything it has to offer – from shops, bars, markets, restaurants, theatres and cultural sights. There’s something for everyone, no matter your age or interests.
