We visited this place with my friend for breakfast yesterday. We spent almost an hour trying to find a place in Dublin city center to eat eggs benedict - Finally we ended up in this little cosy restaurant. The eggs were simply perfect! really delicious breakfast. Staff was also lovely. We will be back!

I always come back to this cafe as it is in a great location just off Grafton Street / St Stephen's Green area.

Pros:
Great Location
Lovely covered terrace (which seems to be all-weather)
Good menu
Great food
Friendly staff
Nice decor
Reasonably priced
Help facilitate families with babies where possible (can get packed)

Cons:
Menu could use an update
Odd occasion you get a staff member that could be friendlier!

Definitely worth a visit!

We had lunch here twice on a weekend visit to Dublin - happened upon it by chance on fri and sought it out again on Sunday. Absolutely recommend - lunch was lovely, Sunday brunch even better. Great service, attentive but not pushy staff.

Visited here this morning for breakfast because the place I had originally planned on visiting was closed and this was close by (still don't understand how so many places in the city centre are closed on a Sunday). I am a vegan, which makes dining out very difficult, so I understand restaurants telling me that they have nothing suitable for me. However I checked the menu and it seemed like one breakfast option could be made vegan if the egg and cheese was omitted. When my order was taken, I apologised for being awkward, informed the waiter that I was vegan, and asked if this breakfast item would be vegan without so and so. He responded hesitantly with a "um I think so". When I asked if he was sure, he said "yes, it is, yes". I would have been much happier if he had of made more of an effort to check with the chefs. I would have had no problem with him informing me that it wasn't suitable for vegans and perhaps suggest something else for me, or even tell me there was nothing for me. The main reason I am disappointed with my visit was because I am almost certain I could taste butter off the sauteed spinach which came with my breakfast. If the waiter had have have put in more of an effort to explain to the chef that I could not could consume eggs or dairy, this could have been avoided.
However, my friend enjoyed her breakfast and I did enjoy my coffee and the rest of my breakfast which didn't taste of butter. Great location too and nice outside seating. Just frustrating that even though eggs and dairy are also an allergen, more care wasn't taken. That being said, I could be wrong about the butter as I didn't see it being made, but it still would have been nice if my dietary requirements were acknowledged more.

Hi,

There is no butter in the spinach just olive oil but I completely get your point.

I will make sure all staff read your comments as a 'how not to deal with' this particular situation, or any allergy for that matter.

Good to know none the less so we can ensure we have no repeat.

regards
