Best brunch in Dublin
Brunch in Dublin lives or dies on two things: the coffee and the egg. Roasters maps the cafés in Dublin where both are taken seriously — small kitchens with seasonal menus, baristas dialling in espresso behind the bar, and the kind of room you'd want to spend a Sunday morning in. The guide draws on the 124 specialty cafés and roasters the community has mapped in Dublin.
Booking is sometimes possible, often not. The rule of thumb in Dublin: arrive before 10am on weekdays, before 9am on weekends, or after 1pm when the first wave clears. Roasters lists each café's typical wait times and whether they take reservations.
