Dublin treats brunch as a weekend ritual, not a hotel buffet. Brother Hubbard has plated Middle Eastern eggs on Capel Street since 2012, and Two Pups turns a Liberties cafe into a destination for menemen. These six, ranked, are where to spend a Saturday morning in the city.
1.Brother Hubbard
Dublin's defining brunch room plates Turkish eggs and lamb flatbread on Capel Street; arrive early on the weekend.
Brother Hubbard opened on Capel Street in 2012 and now runs four rooms across the city. The Middle Eastern brunch leans on menemen, Turkish eggs and a pulled-lamb flatbread, with most plates landing around €14 to €18.
The original north-side room is bright and busy, and the queue builds fast on a Saturday. Come before noon, order the eggs and a flat white, and linger over the pastry case.
2.Two Pups
A Liberties speciality-coffee room does Dublin's best Mexican and Turkish eggs; walk in early before the weekend rush.
Two Pups sits at 74 Francis Street in the Liberties, a speciality-coffee room that doubles as a brunch destination. The Mexican eggs and the Turkish eggs are the orders, with seasonal plates around €12 to €16 and homemade cakes on the counter.
It opens at 9.30 on weekends and fills quickly, so arrive early for a table. The room is small and warm, an easy stop before a walk through the Liberties.
3.Angelina's
A glamorous canalside room runs a brunch pizza topped with black pudding and egg yolk; book the weekend table.
Angelina's sits on Percy Place by the Grand Canal, a dressed-up room known for Bloody Marys, avocado toast and a signature brunch pizza topped with black pudding and a runny egg yolk. Plates sit around €15 to €22.
The canalside tables are the draw on a bright morning, and groups fill them fast. Reserve for the weekend, especially if you want a seat outside near the water.
4.Tang
A compact Levantine menu of shakshuka, hummus eggs and buckwheat pancakes; walk in or grab a counter seat.
Tang runs rooms on Dawson Street, Abbey Street and Cumberland Place, with a tight, well-judged menu of shakshuka, hummus eggs, granola and buckwheat pancakes. Most plates land around €11 to €15, the lighter end of the city's brunch scene.
The rooms are casual and quick, built for a weekday counter seat as much as a weekend table. Order the shakshuka and a good coffee, and you are out the door without a long wait.
5.Farmer Browns
A loud Rathmines room for eggs benedict, breakfast tacos and waffles; book a weekend booth for a group.
Farmer Browns runs rooms in Rathmines and Clonskeagh with an American-Irish menu of eggs benedict, huevos rancheros, breakfast tacos and waffles. Plates sit around €13 to €18 in a relaxed, family-friendly room.
It is the easy-going pick here, loud and welcoming with kids in tow. Reserve a weekend booth for a group, and come hungry for the bigger plates.
6.Sophie's at The Dean
A light-filled rooftop above Harcourt Street for pancakes, burgers and eggs with a city view; book ahead.
Sophie's sits on top of The Dean hotel on Harcourt Street, a glass-walled rooftop room serving pancakes, burgers and eggs above the city rooftops. Plates land around €15 to €24, the dressed-up end of Dublin brunch.
The view and the light make it a weekend favourite, so the tables go early. Reserve ahead, ask for a window seat, and order a brunch cocktail with the eggs.
Not for everyone
Famous, but not actually brunch
Bewley's. The grand Grafton Street cafe is a heritage stop for tea and a cake, not a sit-down weekend brunch with a kitchen behind it. Go for the room and the windows, not the eggs.
The Winding Stair. The much-loved room above the bookshop is a lunch and dinner destination, not a brunch service. Save it for an evening table over the Ha'penny Bridge.
Bottomless prosecco rooms. Several city-centre bars sell a boozy bottomless brunch built on the drink, not the plate. Fun for a hen party, wrong if the food is the point.
How to brunch well in Dublin
Dublin's brunch scene clusters by neighbourhood: Capel Street and the north city for the Middle Eastern rooms, the Liberties for the speciality-coffee cafes, and the Georgian streets around Harcourt and Percy Place for the dressed-up tables. None needs a car if you walk or take the Luas.
Weekend queues are the real obstacle, not the price. Brother Hubbard and Two Pups fill fast and do not take morning bookings, so arrive before noon. For a reserved table, Angelina's and Sophie's at The Dean are the ones to book ahead.
