Best Lunch Restaurants in Skerries

"It’s hard to open twitter or facebook and not see something about Brother Hubbard. Can this place do no wrong?. Well yes, the addition to the original cafe in the form of a prefab-school canteen-Ikea showroom next door isn’t much to sing about."

"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."

"This paradisal cocoon is tucked away behind The Last Book Shop on Camden Street. At the back, you’ll find a door that opens out to the cutest area with bamboo shoots, mosaic walls made from broken CDs, books, piano keys and tiles and colourful tables and chairs that is The Cake Café. On the menu, you'll find seasonal, fresh and intriguing flavours."

"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."

"Located in the opulent surroundings of Dublin's Mansion House on Dawson Street, Fire has been built in what was originally the Lord Mayor's supper room and is now a magnificent space with stained glass windows and vaulted ceilings. The food is all locally sourced and cooked to a high standard with a good mix of meat, vegetarian options and seafood - the jumbo prawn starter is the house speciality. There is also a special steak menu with a variety of cuts of ages, marinated beef that are sure to make a meat-lover's mouth water."

"Fire steakhouse and bar is right beside the city’s Mansion House and about five minute’s walking from the Fitzwilliam. It’s a really beautiful room – high ceilings, bright with big windows – with good food prepared without fuss. Our guests like it a lot as do those on TripAdvisor and other reviewers."

"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."

"Lemon Jelly is a fresh, young cafe located on Millenium Walkway in Dublin City centre, minutes from Jervis Street shopping centre, The Ha'Penny Bridge and Temple Bar."

"Bright and cheery Alma in Portobello is a relative newcomer on the Dublin breakfast scene. The seasonal ingredients are sourced locally but the menu has an Argentinian twist.

"A family-run Argentinian cafe on the South Circular Road, Alma has become well known for their signature dulce de leche pancakes. This dish is a flavour sensation - rich dulce de leche sauce, brandy and orange mascarpone and blood orange slices."

"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."

"Cocu is another Dublin spot with multiple locations, with a foodie philosophy based around “quality, creativity, simplicity”.

"This 200 seater beer garden in Clondalkin has had finishing touches added to it over the past few days, so make sure to pay a visit. General manager Damien Long said: "The staff are excited and a little apprehensive as it has been so long off. I think we'll be grand when we get going."

"Brother Hubbard is easily one of the best cafés in Dublin, with both venues offering delicious fresh food. The brunch menu Brother Hubbard South is particularly gorgeous, featuring Moroccan-style semolina pancakes with Turkish delight, roasted white chocolate mascarpone, dark chocolate ganache and vanilla strawberries. Perfect for brunch, these are easily some of the best pancakes in Dublin."

"Little sister of big Brother Hubbard, Sister Sadie is favourite for us for breakfast or meetings. We guarantee you'll leave feeling like you're ready to take on the world. You'll find it hard to fault the place."

"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."

"If you’re someone with a sweet tooth, then you’re going to want to visit the Queen of Tarts bakery and café.

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?"

"Fluffy buttermilk pancakes with a seasonal fruit compote and lashings of maple syrup – these pancakes seriously hit the spot. Just be warned - you'll be rolled out of the place!"

"This farm is not only an important part of Irish culture, documenting the history of the Great Famine, but has become the go-to destination for anyone interested in organic living, home-grown produce and outdoor living. Your kids can get their hands dirty in the fresh fruit and vegetable gardens, pet the animals and watch the dairy cows being milked… Good old fashioned outdoor fun."

"This special cafe comes from a dream team collab between a mixed farm and a talented chef. Beef, lamb, and pork are reared on the estate, a clutch of happy hens lay the eggs, and a small herd of Jersey cows supplies the milk for chef Luke Matthew’s dulce de leche. The Airfield garden and nearby organic growers provide just-picked organic salads too."

"Airfield Estate dates back to 1894 and was left to the people of Dublin in 1974. Now, it’s a public space, with a working farm, award-winning restaurant, museum, gardens and even beehives. Daily events include egg collection from the hens, calf-feeding and milking."

"Get off the bus in O'Connell Street, walk straight south and cross the Liffey on O'Connell Bridge. Follow the main road and this brings you to College Green, where you will already have passed Trinity College on the bus and maybe wondered what all the fuss is about. On foot, you can now enter the actual college area and get a feeling for this venerable institution. Now you will also see the Campanile, one of Dublin's most photographed buildings."

"If you are looking for the main Roman Catholic church in Dublin, you might want to visit St. Mary’s Church which is the episcopal seat of the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Dublin.

"St. Mary’s serves as the pro-cathedral of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Dublin. It is built between 1815 and 1825 on the site of a 12th-century Cistercian Abbey of St. Mary. The cathedral has a close association with significant moments in the political and religious history of Ireland."

There are a whole host of menus to pick from, including a pre-theatre, a Tuesday tasting menu special and a line-up of bar snacks."

"This classic French-style bistro in the heart of Dublin serves a multi-course lunch and theatre menu making it great for groups.
