Best Breakfast and Brunch Places in Greystones

"What was originally Sister Sadie on South Circular Road, Brother Hubbard rebranded and extended to two sites, one North and one South Dublin to keep up with the huge demand for great quality Dublin brunch. Brother Hubbard is one of the original brunch spots and listed as one of the ‘top 100 places to eat in Ireland’ for many years, their wholesome and refreshing approach to food is unrivalled in the area. A really good Turkish Eggs Menemen is hard to find but Brother Hubbard does it and so much more to perfection."

"A sibling on either side of the Liffey means you're never too far from one of these brilliant spots... Their Moroccan-style Semolina pancakes are absolutely perfect, served with ricotta crème, summer berry and rose compote, fresh mint and hazelnut-almond praline."

"There’s no shortage of iced coffee and chocolate bevvies from Brother Hubbard, but look extra cool while staying cold with this homemade iced chai that’s dusted with spiced raspberry powder."

"A brasserie with a French-inspired interior of wicker cafe chairs, a zinc bar, and white ceramic tiles, Balfes is a popular favorite with locals. Its eclectic menu, served all day, combines some Irish classics along with other renowned specialties such as haddock fish and chips, 28-day dry-aged steak, dry-aged burger on a brioche roll, and for vegetarians, hearty chargrilled winter squash with piri piri, charred leeks, and feta cheese. On the weekends, Balfes offers a brunch menu with Irish smoked salmon and scrambled eggs, a three-egg omelet with honey-roasted ham, smoked Gouda, caramelized onions, Eggs Benedict, and buttermilk pancakes."

"Balfes' is the perfect place to go for brunch and a few cocktails with your pals. While the whole menu is fairly tasty, the pancakes are something else altogether. Made with oats and cooked in coconut oil, these are some of the most virtuous pancakes in Dublin, but thankfully they taste absolutely delicious."

"San Lorenzos is a modern Italian inspired restaurant in the city centre, famous for its fantastic brunch menu. It’s a fast-paced restaurant so not exactly the place to go for a quiet brunch to read the newspaper but if you want a fun atmosphere, great music and fantastic food, it’s the place to be. Their brunch tacos are an unusual but delicious addition to the already alternative menu and there is something to suit every taste."

"Comes with salt caramelised bananas, peanut butter, mascarpone whipped cream and Belgian chocolate sauce. You'll probably have to go back to bed after this."

"Not only is the interior of Coppinger Row totally Instagrammable, but if you perch yourself outside at one of their street-side tables you can gram in the sunshine."

"Nestled in between Camden Street and Pleasants Place, The Cake Caf� is one of Dublin's hidden gems. Every aspect of this building has been thought through from the solar paneling that powers the caf� to their ethical coffee and, most importantly, their food and cakes.

"This is a great little hidden gem for anyone who loves cakes. From the bulging towers of various chocolate cakes to the more delicate and beautifully crafted fruit cakes: every cake here is a work of edible art. Try the chocolate and Irish stout cake."

"You can’t go wrong with any of the offerings in The Cake Café. We have a special fondness for the lemon yoghurt cake, though."

"This romantic city centre restaurant is the perfect place for an Italian-style date night. The simple menu is jam-packed with delicious pasta and pizza dishes made from local ingredients, freshly cooked to order. Pacino's also offers an affordable early bird menu, perfect for a pre-show dinner."

It's hidden away on Strand Street Great, just a stone's throw from the new Italian Quarter just off the quays. Setting itself apart from the usual coffee shop fare Foam Café has a broad range of things on offer but their flagship dish is the humble omelette."

"This is a local for me and place you may not encounter if you are visiting Dublin for abroad but we love it. Relaxed and laid back, they have a lovely weekend brunch catering for kids too.

"The ethos of Bite caf� is that of 'Uptown Food, Downtown Vibe' and it's basically recreating your average fish and chip shop into a more upmarket fish experience with some interesting reinventions along the way. Gone is the greasy batter in a brown bag, replaced with hake in a vodka and beer batter accompanied with mushy peas and pancetta fries. The usual pre-theatre menu has been replaced with a 'Pre-Gig Menu', seeking to resonate with the modern diner."

"The attention to quality – with their commitment to gluten free and vegan ingredients – makes this Kevin Street joint stand out from the crowd. Some of the finest donuts out there, no doubt."
