Ireland’s Capital and largest city is thriving with quirky, unique restaurants making Dublin a fantastic place to wander through the charming alleys in rain or shine for delicious eats. I am lucky enough to have family in Ireland who loves food just as much as I do and made plans to hop from cafe to restaurant to pub one rainy Saturday. Here are my favourite places we explored…
Brunch Café
Price Range: €
Opened in 2018, Bread 41 presents freshly baked bread & pastries leaving your mouth watering the moment you step in the door. Our goal was to taste the Cruffin; however, this was sold out, but we were not disappointed the the incredibly flakey and buttery Almond Croissant.

Mon-Wed : 07.00 – 15.00
Thu-Fri : 07.00 – 21.00
Sat : 08.00 – 15.00

Hong Kong BBQ

A true Hong Kong feel with a few places to sit for those who want to stay serving duck, pork, chicken, spring rolls and noodles. The meat is incredibly juicy and flavourful. This is a great taste of Asia served quickly.
