"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."

"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. If you're looking to sample baked goods of the highest order, order a cake or small treats for any occasion, or simply enjoy lunch using fresh, local ingredients then this is the perfect place to slip into."

You simply cannot go wrong with ordering a traditional Irish fry from this place."

"The coffee here is also superb and it’s a very relaxed, spacious place to enjoy a cup. They mostly offer crepes, which I’m not a fan of (in general) but you can also get a full Irish for breakfast, speciality teas and awesome omelettes. There’s a good selection of drinks as well as espresso speciality coffees and filter coffee."

"This cozy family-run place pulsates the spirit of an Argentinian-Irish amalgamation, offering a refreshing all-daybreakfast experience that takes their guests on an unprecedented culinary adventure. While the name means ‘soul’ in Spanish, it also stands for the initials of the four daughters in the family which runs this thriving café. The cafe resonates with health and happiness."

"This Portobello café stunned me twice this year - once upon a "first look" visit and a few months later while on the hunt for the tastiest pancakes in Dublin. Run by an Argentinian lady whose parents and siblings have also moved over since it opened to lend a hand. There are four sisters in the family, which gives Alma its name - each letter representing a sister."

"Alma in Portobello are giving away a free coffee with every pancake order today. They're also selling a pancake set on their website here."

"The Jame Joyce Centre is located on North Great George's Street in the North Georgian Quarter and was built in the late 18th century. While Joyce himself never lived in this establishment he was connected to it through the Dance School that was run by Prof. Dennis Maginni, a character who appeared several times in Joyce's novel Ulysses.
