Not only is it enjoyed mostly at the weekends – meaning we associate it with good, relaxed, carefree times – but it also features ridiculously large portions and makes it socially acceptable to drink alcohol in the mornings. Add in the fact that the majority of the menu features tasty pork, the prices are cheap and everybody is in good form and you've really got the perfect mix.
With Dublin brunch options improving all the time we thought we'd put together a new list of the most exciting things you simply have to try this weekend and into 2015 in general. Get drooling...
Sometimes you just feel like a dirty big burger to clear the night before, and this one hits the spot.
A restaurant known for their meat, but this is a delicious and interesting take on brunch. Just like their whole menu, it's full of invention and wonder.
No better place to hit at the weekend to get a nice big stack of pancakes.
It's all about the traditional Waterford bread that makes for a killer brunch experience.
Nearly everywhere offers a version of the humble old fry-up, and this is one of the very best in the city.
Comes with salt caramelised bananas, peanut butter, mascarpone whipped cream, Belgian chocolate sauce. You'll probably have to go back to bed after this.
You'll probably want a clear enough head, because dealing with the mess of eating ribs with a hangover is not advised. They are absolutely divine.
A gorgeous clean take on brunch, washed down with some of their home-pressed juices – you're in for a huge treat.
An absolute classic that relies on simplicity and quality, and delivers every time.
Nothing fancy about the description but the quality of the bacon, the bread and most of all the homemade sauce (which we named top of our list of best sauces and dips in Dublin) makes this an incredible experience.
Has to be ordered in advance but at €50 including a bottle of wine, this is as finely as you can possibly eat on a Sunday.
Another roast, and you only have to look at this one to see how incredibly good it is. World-class.
The champions of brunch in so many ways, you could pick any of their dishes but this one is on the sinful end of things! Gorgeous.
With poached egg, crispy Connemara ham, chilli jam, asparagus and hollandaise. Stacked high and full of flavour.
Another staple on the menus of most brunch places, but the fact that they serve theirs on brioche gives them the edge.
Poached eggs, garlic yoghurt, coriander and chilli butter. An exciting dish for the veggies out there who often feel they are missing out when eating brunch.
With sausage meatballs, roast red pepper, mint yogurt and sourdough toast. One of the great dishes in Dublin.
A place that does an epic brunch trade and is always buzzing. Grab one of these for something completely different and enjoy the mad flavours.
