Free picks
Capel Street, D1
Open since 2012, Brother Hubbard folds Middle Eastern flavors into Irish produce and has topped Dublin brunch lists ever since. The Turkish eggs are the signature move, but the whole menu leans generous and inventive.
Pearse Street, D2
Eoin Cluskey's organic sourdough bakery is the temple of Dublin's bread revival, and the pastry case backs up every bit of the hype. The savory croissants rank among the best in the city.
