Best Breakfast and Brunch Places in Malahide

"With two locations (Capel St. and Harrington St.) in the city and a sign out front that says “This is the café you have been looking for”, Brother Hubbard is one of the best places for brunch in Dublin. Their Middle Eastern-inspired menu offers signature dishes like halloumi sabiche, Moroccan pancakes, and Turkish eggs with cinnamon buns. Craving something sweet?"

"Described on Tripadvisor as a ‘fusion of the casual elegance of a Parisian brasserie with the dynamism of a New York eatery’, this gorgeous city centre bar and restaurant has a fantastic brunch menu. They serve buttermilk pancakes with either apricots, Greek yoghurt, orange blossom honey, and pistachios, or with bacon, blueberries, and maple syrup. And if you’re looking for something healthier, they also have oat pancakes with organic nut butter, banana, cacao nibs, and toasted pecan."

"The ground-floor of the Westbury Hotel has been revamped into a stand-alone restaurant called Balfes, named after the street it resides on. The menu here works hard to celebrate the best of local ingredients making the food modern, fresh and different enough to feel exciting. Early Bird Menu: Sunday to Thursday 5pm to 6.30pm."

"The mighty San Lorenzo’s is another restaurant that’s said to dish out some of the best brunch Dublin has to offer (it’s also one of our favourite Italian restaurants in Dublin). This is, unsurprisingly enough, an Italian restaurant that cooks with a New York flair. Booking here is an absolute must!"

"With salt caramelized bananas, peanut butter, mascarpone whipped cream, Belgian chocolate sauce. #gains #gainsfromtrade #ireland. A post shared by •ﾉ◊и∆ɬｻ∆и ﾚⅰ㎡• SWAT626🔫🎮🇺🇸🇮🇪 (@jonathan_impactswat) on May 2, 2015 at 6:09am PDT"

"If you're looking to indulge early on the weekend, look no further. San Lorenzo's can be described (and is) as a modern Italian, NYC style. Some say this is the #bestbrunchindublin and I'm finding it hard to argue that myself."

"Hidden in Dublin’s cultural quarter, just off the bustling South William Street is where you will find Coppinger Row, a restaurant that promises a culinary experience of the highest order. Amazing food in generous portions coupled with friendly helpful staff make this a firm favourite among Dublin diners so booking in advance is advised. Oh, and their cosy terrace is ideal for eating and people watching in the summer!"

"This garden BBQ style restaurant, located in an old carpark on Clanbrassil Street, has wooden pallet furniture and colourful bunting aplenty. This year they’ve added a seafood shack (Sharkbait Shelby’s) and delicious woodfired pizza from The Big Blue Bus, with more food stalls to announced over the next few weeks. Go for the food, stay for the party atmosphere and hand-rolled ice-cream."

"Beyond the celebrity-approved status, Coppinger Row is one of the most popular places to eat in Dublin. Stop by for a menu of Mediterranean-style bites and signature cocktails in a relaxed, unpretentious setting."

"Awarded as one of the 100 BEST RESTAURANTS IN IRELAND 2017 by McKenna Guides, the Cake Cafe offers standard and custom cakes of all shapes and sizes. Some options include vegan and coeliac as well as extra sweetness or stacked sponge. They’ve earned a 4.5 rating in Google out of over 200 reviews as a proof of customer satisfaction through their scrumptious products."

"Head to The Cake Café if a good book and a cup of coffee is your idea of heaven. Enter through The Last Bookshop, and pick up a good read before exiting onto the back terrace. A handful of brightly coloured chairs and tables are scattered outside, while inside, there are a dozen or so tables."

"This café has the perfect setting to blow away the cobwebs, situated in the heart of Dublin's 'Silicon Docks'. Herb Street caters to the myriad of beautiful, modern apartment blocks and trendy tech offices that line the mouth of the Grand Canal and their brunch menu is regularly touted as one of the most enticing in the capital. They have a strong selection of pancakes including virtuous fruit and Irish oak-smoked salmon with horseradish creme fraiche."

"Located on the Grand Canal Dock, this lovely cafe offers two types of pancakes- a short stack or a tall stack with a variety of delicious toppings including maple syrup, blueberries and orange honey butter, chocolate chips and whipped cream, and banana and hazelnut chocolate spread."

"Stepping into Foam Cafe is like stepping into another world, one full of flower garlands, mirrors and clashing prints over two floors. 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. My two are obsessed with the blueberry pancakes and the ‘not so hot’ chocolate just for them but you have also savoury options available with brunch favourites such as scrambled eggs."

"Re-opened by Lord Ardilaun (Arthur Guinness) in 1880 for the citizens of Dublin. These 9 hectares / 22-acre park has been maintained in the original Victorian layout with extensive perimeter tree and shrub planting, spectacular spring and summer Victorian bedding. The park is adorned with statutes of Irelands politically and literary heroes like Countess Markiewitz, Robert Emmet, James Joyce, WB Yeats and off course Arthur Guinness/Lord Ardilaun."

"Less of a park, more of a verdant square at the very heart of Dublin, St Stephen’s Green is the place to kick back during a busy day exploring the centre. It’s not entirely peaceful, especially because of the clangs of the trams at its perimeter, but the placid lake and brightly coloured central flower beds do provide some zen. In the north-west corner, the Famine Monument makes for a striking sight as you enter."

"Re-opened by Lord Ardilaun in 1880, (St.) Stephen’s Green is located at the bottom of Grafton Street, Dublin’ high-end shopping street. Spanning across 22 acres, the park has endless possibilities for snapping beautiful shots. From the Fusiliers’ Arch at the Grafton Street entrance to the statues of James Joyce and Constance Markievicz, and the fowl in lake, there is something to suit everyone’s tastes."

"Located on Dublin’s South Great George’s Street, the George’s Street Arcade originally opened as South City Markets in 1881, making it the oldest shopping centre in Ireland. Today, the Victorian redbrick building houses an indoor market of around fifty tenants, with a combination of stalls and stores selling vintage clothes, accessories, books and collectibles, and more. Shopping here is a distinctively Dublin experience, and you’re sure to find a souvenir you won’t get anywhere else."

Serving Dublin since 1881, this enclosed Victorian market has a charming red-bricked interior housing over 50 stalls. Ranging in size and scale, the vendors here sell everything from authentic falafel to art, memorabilia and coin collections."

"The Victorian redbrick George’s Street Arcade houses several stalls and stores. There’s a lot to discover in this arcade, from high fashion clothing and accessories to funky gear to custom and costume jewellery. There are also stalls and shops offering fortune telling, hairstyling and specialty items."

"The second-largest of the many parks in Dublin, you’ll find St. Anne’s Park between the suburbs of Raheny and Clontarf on the northside of Dublin. And to throw a bit of local celebrity stardust on the site, it was originally part of an estate assembled by members of the Guinness family – namely the descendants of Sir Arthur Guinness himself!. There’s a ton of stuff going on at St. Anne’s and you could spend all day if you so wished."

"St. Anne’s is the second-largest park in Dublin, sitting at 240 acres, and was formerly an estate owned by the Guinness family. On top of walking paths, rose gardens and ponds, the park boasts some great sporting facilities in the form of tennis courts and football pitches."

"At over 1700 acres, Phoenix Park is one of the largest and most beautiful urban parks in Europe. This is a great place for a walk with the kids, a bike ride, or a picnic. Keep an eye out for the deer that roam the park or enjoy one of the many concerts or sporting events that are held throughout the year."

"In first place in our list of the best things to do in Dublin with kids is a trip to Dublin Zoo. No list of kids’ activities in Dublin would be complete without the inclusion of Dublin Zoo. With its playgrounds, café, and exotic animals, Dublin Zoo has something for everyone to enjoy no matter the age."

"A little trip away from Dublin City Centre, it’s the perfect romantic location for beach strolls or some sunset portraits. It has the tall grass, sea air and the iconic Poolbeg Towers as the quintessentially-Dublin backdrop!. A great spot for an engagement session, an elopement or a lovely portrait spot on a wedding day if you’re driving in from the south side."

"This is the perfect place to go to if you want to capture water and nature. Moreover, going to this beach is a very fun thing to do when you're in Dublin. So it's not only great for photography, but you'll also have an amazing day if you go here."

"Liath, the Irish word for grey, is a fine dining restaurant created by chef Damien Grey. Grey was the co-owner of the one-star Michelin Star Restaurant, 'Heron And Grey' which closed at the start of the year. Right now, getting a booking here is like gold dust."

"Why: If you’re a fan of Italian seafood, Rosa Madre is the perfect place for you. With a menu centred around fish, the Temple Bar restaurant is also never short on theatre. Dishes such as gratinated Wexford scallops come served on loudly patterned plates, while whole fishes are filleted at the side of your table."

"Some of the tastiest seafood pasta can be found in Rosa Madre. As soon as you step in the door you're met by a huge cabinet which is iced and packed full of fish and shellfish. It's a stunning venue, tucked away down the cobblestone streets of Temple Bar but inside it's got a lot of character."

"Style / Ambiance: Arguably the most respected restaurant in Ireland, the legendary Patrick Guilbaud’s opened in 1981 and since then has won every major food award going. Currently in the hands of chef Guillaume Lebrun, the restaurant has held two Michelin stars for a number of years, and has long set the standard to which others aspire. It remains the only two-star restaurant in the country and with a wine list every bit as impressive as the food, you’ll be talking about this place for some time after."

"Patrick Guilbaud's certainly has the credentials of a top Irish restaurant, sporting our country's only two star Michelin kitchen. If opulence and fine dining to the extreme is your bag then make sure to sample this mix of contemporary Irish, French and classical roots. Guilbaud's has been at the centre of Irish fine dining for thirty years and is somewhat of an institution."

"From the name of the top three - Guilbaud, Lebrun and Robin - that made this place happen in the 80s, right down to picture perfect …"
