    Rarebit toast with egg and chorizo, brunchy egg toast, and bacon.
    Molly H.

    On our recent trip to Dublin, my husband and I stayed across the street from the Brother Hubbard South location, which was extraordinary luck as I had heard that Brother Hubbard was a must-visit while in the city. We visited for breakfast on a quiet Friday morning and were seated immediately, putting in our coffee orders right away. In terms of ambiance, it's very airy and open and casual inside, with eclectic little details everywhere. The menu for brunch/breakfast is small but mighty, with each dish boasting interesting ingredients and flavors. I opted for the rarebit with melty cheese and chorizo on toast, and my husband tried the brunchy toast with hummus and squash, both items accompanied by eggs. I cannot rave enough about the rarebit. It was SO flavorful and nourishing, and the tomato-y sauce on the plate was swoon-worthy. We did hope to try some baked goods, but as it was a weekday, a lot of the pastries were likely snatched up by folks on their way to work. Regardless, we had a wonderful breakfast and excellent coffee to boot! I cannot recommend this place more highly, especially if you happen to be staying on Camden street or in Portobello. Yum!!!

    Baked beans with pork belly
    Tamara T.

    I went to BH South for my birthday and it didn't disappoint. Any place that serves mimosas by the carafe is going to have me as a fan. The wait staff were super friendly and made the experience all the better for it. I had the baked beans with pork belly, it was delicious ( but a bit dry). And I found the breakfast and brunch menu to be a bit small. But the real star of the show was the chocolate brownie. WOW!!! I had read the reviews and it lived up to every word. A delicious moist brownie covered in a decadent chocolate ganache served with a homemade strawberry cream that cuts through the sweetness to make every bite a delectable one. I selfishly ordered one for myself, but quickly learned this dessert is meant to be shared. I'd give them 5 stars, but my meal was not as good as the dessert.

Open early so if you're struggling to find a place, this is it. The Irish breakfast hits the spot - the buttery toast was heavenly and the blood sausage was my favorite part - hearty and delicious. It also came with sausage, sunny side up egg, sweet beans and ham. The service is like none other from the minute you walk in, you feel like you're at an old friends place and as you leave, they give you recommendations and a list of local bars and hangouts that Irish people love. When I go back to Dublin, I'm definitely going back here for breakfast.

Maybe sarcastic but not rude. What was annoying was them telling everyone their credit card machine would be down and then you'd have to wash dishes or stay until it came back up. They did this to the table next to us but then came back and seemed like it was a joke and was like "oh it's back up." When it came time for us to pay they said it was down and needed to pay cash. We pushed back a little and said you've literally said that to everyone then the guy became rude. So we get out cash and go to pay and he's like oh I'm restarting the machine you can pay by card. That was annoying. Other than that place was small and quaint. Serves traditional Irish breakfast items. Food was good, just don't expect anything to be favorable. Food in general in Ireland is very bland.

Then there's the bakery. We had a Guinness cruffin because, well, this is Dublin! It was delicious and worthy of the praise from Ian, the barista who very enthusiastically recommended it. The Shakshuka and Turkish Eggs entrees were absolutely amazing. Strong flavors, distinct ingredients, perfectly prepared, and pretty. For those with food allergies/sensitivities, the menu is outstandingly marked with items that can be made (AVG for available as gluten free). The service is kind, friendly, and polite. Really, everything you would want. Think Friends cafe meets Dublin. If I could give 6 stars, I would.

Today we went over for breakfast and had the eggs Florentine with the Guinness hollandaise on brown bread. Incredible. I also got a Guinness muffin and I have to say it's a good thing I haven't gotten one before now or I would have eaten one EVERY DAY we've been here. They are THAT good. Absolutely delicious cafe and a damn good (but pricey) small plates restaurant at night. Great service too!

    Visiting Ireland for the first time, I did my best to read up on good places to grab breakfast,…read morebaked goods in Dublin and Brother Hubbard popped up on a few lists, Reddit posts, so I put it on my list to try and I'm glad I did! I walked in on a Wednesday morning, right as they opened at 9am, and was seated immediately. The sit-in part of Brother Hubbard is bright, relaxing, spacious with plenty of tables inside and there's a patio outside with plenty of tables as well. The waitress came over with a menu and gave me plenty of time to look it over. She was very courteous and pleasant, checking in throughout my time there, never hovering. For breakfast, I ordered an Americano, a ginger scone, and their Irish Oat Porridge - Classic. Their porridge is organic oats made with milk and with ordering it as "Classic", it was served with cream and honey. Starting with the ginger scone, this was another case of a perfectly baked scone - Crispy, golden exterior with a moist, buttery interior. The flavor of ginger was perfectly balanced and the raisins inside were a nice supplement to the scone. The porridge was really good, I loved the creaminess of it! Both did a nice job of filling me up and setting me up for the day of walking to come. Funny enough, around 3:30pm, I stopped here again to grab a mid-afternoon treat and ordered the chocolate and hazelnut Babka, their soft bun filled with chocolate and toasted hazelnuts. This pastry was crazy tasty! A slightly crispy exterior with a croissant-like inside chocked full of chocolate and those toasted hazelnuts. This was so rich and truly decadent. Brother Hubbard is a gem of a breakfast and pastry spot! I appreciate the relaxing café environment with friendly staff and high-quality food. I know if I come back to Dublin, I'd come back to grab breakfast, or perhaps another Babka.

Brother Hubbard is a solid spot for breakfast and brunch, serving entrees, lighter fare and offers a pastry assortment that will have you pondering about getting takeout. I visited Brother Hubbard on a Sunday, half an hour after it opened and was able to be seated immediately. However, the brunch rush came afterwards and by the time I left, the entire place was filled. It's popular. And yes, it's the same spot Phil Rosenthal ate at. I even saw the owner who was featured on the show here, helping out with clearing tables and so forth. I ordered the traditional Irish breakfast and an iced chai latte. The food was good and actually, not as heavy as I anticipated. It came with an egg, sausage, bacon, beans and a pudding, which I had to look up. It's ground meat with oats and is molded into a patty. It didn't taste bad, so can see why it's served around these parts of the world. And the meal also came with another item I had to look up, colcannon bread, which was a potato bread with kale. And it was my favorite part of the breakfast! Delicious. If you're looking for a breakfast spot in Dublin, then I'm pretty sure you already know about Brother Hubbard, which is popular, all for good reason. The food was tasty, service was friendly and I loved how bright and welcoming the restaurant was. I was satisfied.
