Best French Bakery in Dún Laoghaire

"Brother Hubbard is a recent addition to trendy Capel Street and they're setting the bar high. Coffee and tea is sourced from two of the best Dublin suppliers, 3FE and Wall and Keogh and their homemade drinks including orange and lemon barley water and rose, raspberry and apple are refreshing and different. In recent months they have really stepped up their sweet treat offerings and there are now a range of baked goods from scones to friandes as well more dessert-style items."

"This Beans and Pulled Pork Special at Brother Hubbard featured cannellini beans in a rich and lightly spiced tomato sauce, overnight roasted pulled pork, a soft fried egg and toast. We loved Brother Hubbard during our first visit to Dublin in 2013. At the time, the new-ish restaurant stood out as a shining light in the Dublin culinary scene by serving modern comfort food and quality coffee in a trendy yet chill setting."

"A delightful slow-food sanctuary within the Dublin dining scene, Brother Hubbard is a cozy, elegantly designed Northside café with a stripped...Read More"

"We first heard about The Fumbally from a pair of young chefs sitting next to us at 3fe Coffee in 2016. When we asked about cool restaurants in Dublin, they answered with The Fumbally. Sure enough, while exploring some of the newer artisan cafes in the city, we asked an in-touch barista about good places to eat and she asked, “Have you been to The Fumbally?"

"This dog and kid friendly cafe (that should come with a hipster warning) serves up amazing food made with simple recipes. The Fumbally Eggs are to die for and will really set you up for the day. They use 3FE coffee too so you just can't go wrong here."

"A favourite choice amongst other coffee shops in Dublin, this expert cafe roast their own coffee beans, offer tasting courses and make excellent food produce too. This is an amazingly chill place to go after work and network. Or you know, just relax."

"We promise beautiful food, made with the very best local and international produce. Our dishes are created with the bold, sun-filled flavours of Italy. We serve up in a laid back and informal vibe every day of the week, from lunch and brunch through dinner, so stop by with family and friends and...See More"

"Like the idea of waterside drinking and dining as the temperatures rise?. Angelina's have pretty outdoor space facing the canal, so you can kick back with a couple of glasses and a plate of freshly made pasta while topping up your tan."

"If you’re someone with a sweet tooth, then you’re going to want to visit the Queen of Tarts bakery and café. You’ll be amazed at the sweet selection of breakfast and brunch items that are available to purchase. We are strong proponents of having cheesecake for breakfast — what could be more perfect than starting your day with a heavenly creamy slice of Bailey’s cheesecake?"

"One of the best names for a café you'll ever hear, and although they do a great brunch and a bunch of other food, it's the cakes that will keep you coming back. Usually packed to the rafters, but well worth the wait."

"Perfect lunch option in Dublin, only open Mon-Fri, until 4 pm:. Without a doubt, Green Bench is my favorite sandwich spot for lunch. Their menu includes around 6 PHAT sandwiches/wraps, soups, salads, cheeky desserts and changes daily to maintain Irish, seasonal freshness."

"Simple, fluffy and fresh, the donuts from this cult cafe and bakery just off Harcourt Street are everything the sugary treat should be. And while it's slightly off topic, we feel compelled to share that their sausage rolls are to die for as well."

"When you get onto the Evolve Eatery website, you’re met with the simple mantra of “meet, eat, evolve.” They have over 10 items on their menu for brunch, providing a diverse range of dishes for whatever you fancy, including protein pancakes and chicken and eggs benedict. They also have a wide selection of delicious smoothies. Evolve Eatery serves brunch between 9AM and 4PM."

"With a collection of over 2 million artefacts, the Natural History Museum, aka ‘the dead zoo’ in the National Museum of Ireland is the perfect place to learn about the world’s zoological and geological history. Fascinating exhibitions showcase 10,000 different specimens from around the globe. Entry is completely free too, making it a cheap and cheerful way to spend an afternoon in Dublin."

"Yes, Natural History Museums are common places in every European capital. Dublin has one of the most impressive zoological exhibits. It’s in the same complex as the National Museum of Ireland, it has been in operation since 1856 and is still a big hit with visitors."

"Temple Bar Gallery and Studios was first founded in 1983 as one of the country’s first artist-led arts organisations. A non-profit funded by the Irish Arts Council, today it consists of a contemporaryexhibition space and 30 visual artists’ studios, located at the epicentre of Dublin’s Cultural Quarter. As well as exhibitions, they run regular talks, masterclasses and events for aspiring artists."

"Featuring installations and performance art as well as sculpture and video, the Temple Bar Gallery works hand in hand with Artists Studios. It’s a really interesting and engaging concept and it puts you right into the heart of the artist’s community here in Dublin. Past exhibitions included Declan Clarke, Amie Siegel and Barbara Knezevic."

"At the beginning in 1983 the Temple Bar Gallery + Studios was the first DIY artist-centred initiative in Ireland, they started in a shirt factory and this is now a big gallery. Thanks to the fame of Temple Bar the gallery became notorious but it still supports upcoming artists."

"Really friendly tolerant staff, well used to kids wandering around. They have a great atmosphere, and plenty of choice for everybody with a massive menu – better again, with outlets in Dun Laoghaire, Tallaght, Dundrum and Blanchardstown and a few dotted around the city centre, they're a solid option wherever you happen to be."

"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."
