While you’re there, check out… St. Patrick’s Cathedral
Nearby The Fumbally is the stunning St. Patrick’s Cathedral; Ireland’s largest church. Founded in 1191, a Dean holds office at St. Patrick’s, the most famous of which was Gulliver’s Travels author Jonathan Swift, who presided there from 1713 to 1745.
The Larder
8 Parliament Street, Dublin 2
If you’re feeling decadent and fancy brunch in a luxurious setting, look no further than The Larder. One of many delicious spots on Parliament Street, this boutique restaurant offers a variety of dishes, the best (arguably) of which is their amazing Hot Pan – sautéed diced potato, pancetta and wild mushroom topped with poached eggs and served with multi-cereal bread – yum.
While you’re there, check out… City Hall
Standing majestically at the top of Parliament Street, you’ll find Dublin’s City Hall. A civic building completed in 1779, local merchants would meet here to discuss trade and business. Fans of Dublin’s neo-classical architecture will love this majestic structure, which features a central entrance hall, and large dome supported by 12 massive and ornate columns.
Corner Note Café
1 Coliemore Road, Dalkey
Fancy a bite by the seaside? Why not hop on a southbound DART from the city-centre, and in just 25 minutes you’ll find yourself in the idyllic town of Dalkey. There, we suggest you pause for brunch at the Corner Note Café, a charming bistro offering mouth-watering maritime dishes like Salmon Benedict and Seafood Chowder (hey, when in Rome!).
The House
4 Main Street, Howth Village
@TheHouseHowth
On the other side of the city (just 30 mins on the DART), you’ll find the equally beautiful village of Howth. Rugged and hilly, we recommend a hearty brunch before you start exploring! Award-winning café, restaurant and bar The House is one of our favourite spots, and their brunch menu features gems like Garlicky Portobello Mushrooms, Crab Fettuccine and Panfried Hake.
While you’re there, check out… Howth Head
Get your hiking boots on; the peninsula of Howth Head is no mean feat to conquer! It’s worth it though, the breath-taking view of the bay from the cliffs always justifies the climb. Fun fact – Howth Head was originally an island, but is now joined to the mainland by a very narrow strip of land. However, should you fancy an island adventure, you can hire a boat from Howth and head out to catch your own fish. 
Platform 61
27 William St S, Dublin 2
@Platform61
Nestled in the heart of South William Street is a hidden brunch gem: Platform 61. This quaint little restaurant features a delicious menu that includes vegan and veggie options. It's open for brunch 6 days a week from Tuesday to Sunday. The icing on the cake? For just €16 per person you can get a tasty brunch that includes all you can eat mimosas for the next 90 minutes. Yes please!
While you’re there, check out… St Stephen's Green
The Whitefriar Grill is located close to St Stephen's Green, a leafy oasis measuring 22 acres is one of Dublin's most loved parks. Despite being in the middle of the city-centre, you’ll enjoy a slice of urban solace as you take in the park’s array of flowers and trees. Lunchtime concerts are often performed during the summer months so keep an eye out for live entertainment!
Brother Hubbard
153 Capel Street, Dublin 1
@BrotherHubbardN
This Middle Eastern cafe on Capel Street is a firm Dublin favourite that's always been a hot spot for brunch. The original site has been extended so there's even more room to enjoy the ambience. Expect eggs with a Turkish twist and gorgeous cinnamon buns for afters. Listed as one of the Top 100 Places to Eat in Ireland by McKenna's Guides, you won't be disappointed by this great little eatery.
While you're there, check out...Jameson Distillery
Just a ten-minute stroll away to the West you'll find the Jameson Distillery on Bow Street. Here you can find out everything there is to know about Ireland's most famous whiskey and how it's made. Don't forget to taste some while you're there!
