Brunch has become one of Dublin's most reliable weekend rituals, built around strong coffee, eggs and an unhurried table. The Fumbally and Two Pups Coffee anchor the scene in the Liberties, while Brother Hubbard North flies the flag in the north inner city. Tang in the south city centre and Host Brunch in Ranelagh round out the spread across both sides of the Liffey.
