Brendan's Café

We were looking for authentic Irish people. We found one in it. We ate so much we skipped lunch and we learnt more about the History of the neighborhood. Do not come if you're expecting some Ritz food experience. You'll find a great breakfast, honest and authentic people, and do trust me, this is what makes the salt of the earth. Thanks lads.

The breakfast was grand! You can tell it’s cooked with love and care. The atmosphere is great too. Great way to wake up in the morning.

There aren’t many people, and there are plenty of seats available. The second floor also has space. The chef is very friendly, and the food prices are quite reasonable. Coffee or tea is included (latte is an option). The dishes have a plain flavor with minimal seasoning, but the ingredients are fresh, and the taste is excellent.

This is a gem of a find if you want a genuine Full Irish Breakfast. It comes in three sizes large, medium or small. All at very reasonable prices compared to hotels in the area. Originally Brendan's catered for the vegetable market workers (the modern market had moved out to the suburbs of Dublin) the original market building across the road from the cafe is a beautiful building originating from the late 1800's. Brendan the owner is still working at his traditional Irish cafe.

Brendan’s Café was a perfect start to my adventures in Dublin. The atmosphere is home like and unpretentious. It has a diner vibe and the food is great. The large breakfast was totally worth it and perhaps a bit much to start the day. The staff is friendly and many locals visit this place.

What a tasty fry! A proper old school greasy spoon. Well worth a visit, this breakfast will set you up for the day. The staff were very friendly and I am looking forward to going back.

Great spot! Old school all day Irish breakfast. Everything is fresh cooked and delicious,made from great quality ingredients. This place has an authentic Dublin feel and the owner and staff here couldn't be more pleasant and friendly. The prices are very reasonable for city centre and breakfast includes hot buttered toasted batch bread and very good coffee or tea. A hidden gem and a real Dublin experience!
