Whitefriar Grill - Dublin

This is up there with my all time favourite meals in Dublin I just totally loved this restaurant and was really impressed with all the food. The space is intimate and cosy without being pokey, and even though our table was a bit rowdy it didn't seem to disrupt the place (I hope! . I shared a starter so had the joy of two delicious dishes lamb flatbread w/ chilli basil hummus, pomegranate mint yoghurt as well as the crab pâté. The pâté was beautifully flavoured, delicate and light with some lovely fresh leaves on the board too. I don't actually normally like lamb but this flatbread was just perfect and the yoghurt with it gave it a nice zing. I wouldn't normally order chicken for a main I'm never really that wowed by it, but I didn't feel like steak. It was just delicious a good sized portion, and the side of polenta was a really great accompaniment. We went a little over the top and got three sides to share between us (you can get three sides for €10 tobacco onions, tomato fondue stuffed pepper w/ basil pesto and truffle parmesan fries. Words can't express just how good these sides were, executed really well and I loved the tomato just because it was a bit unusual. I'd describe it as really slow cooked tomato which I'm definitely going to try to replicate myself. For dessert, I decided just to have an espresso martini which was a lovely finisher. The chocolate fondue is pretty nuts though! This meal was really just a fabulous evening at a comfortable, relaxing restaurant with some delicious food. I would go out of my way to get back here next time I'm in Dublin.

Dayam. This place has been on my list for a while but I had read it was impossible to get a table walk in, so we emailed to book. They were able to fit us in at half ten, which was opening time, and the place was still jammers when we arrived at 10.32! The food was cracking. I got the crabcake benedict: two english muffins, spinach, two tasty crab cakes, two poached eggs and spring onion hollandaise. Oh and three very chunky fries to boot. Definitely left feeling full! The menu was full of choice, and I'll definitely be heading back to hit up some of the other dishes. Even though the place was full, it didn't feel cramped like some other brunch spots can (tables too close together etc). The music was a fun mix and very chill. The staff were all lovely and we got a complimentary watermelon mimosa for checking in on yelp! Win!

I love brunches with girls here. A free watermelon Bellini upon the check in is an amazing marketing step, let's give them that. In my case it really works and I keep coming back. The choice of brunches is rich: salmon, shrimps, lobster, all kind of eggs, sausages, just whatever you feel like. I like the staff as well, I feel they are attentive, but not annoying. I am always happy to leave them tips because finding a good service is quite a rare thing to be honest. Overall, a great place to have a brunch for groups where everyone has different taste and prefer a wide range of choice in the menu. And don't forget to check in!

It was amazing. I went there for a brunch on a Sunday and I hadn't booked a table: that wasn't a problem. There is a large menu and everything looks so great. I've ordered the Norwegian poached eggs and it was delicious. As a desert I've taken the chocolate fondue. The portions are very ! I've tasted the mint lemonade and it's tasty ! Thanks a lot this place is such a good restaurant to go, with friend, FAMILY or even boyfriend !

I highly recommend the Norwegian eggs benedict— the salmon was incredibly flavorful, and the eggs were cooked just right. We were lucky to get a table without a reservation for Sunday brunch, but it became quite busy as we dined. I suggest calling ahead or making a reservation!
