Brother Hubbard in Dublin

Food was yummy 😋 People queued on the weekend but Monday- straight in

Friendly staff and really good coffee

My friends and I were excited to try this restaurant after it featured on ‘Somebody Feed Phil,’ but the food was destined to be upstaged by waiting staff so bereft of hospitality it bordered on the absurd. My sides arrived at the same time as my friends’ meals, but my seasonal vegan plate was nowhere to be seen for a good ten minutes while I sat there like a little boy picking at a dish of cooling scrambled eggs and three (excellent) sticks of halloumi. I asked a member of staff where my food was as I’d been told it was only a couple of minutes away, and she blinked at me before bringing it straight out from the kitchen with no further verbal interaction. I should have complained. I should have asked for it to be removed from the bill. But the food was utterly delicious and I’m far too polite for my own good. In any case, I found it very disappointing they didn’t at least explain or apologise for the delay. The staff continued with this bafflingly aloof approach for the remainder of our visit, and we even had to help ourselves to the carafe of water we’d asked for. It was a bit like those clips you see from Karen’s Diner. Based on the food alone, this would be a five-star review. It was perhaps even the nicest brunch I’ve ever eaten. What a shame the staff behaved as though they were doing us a favour in hosting us. If they had treated Mr Rosenthal like this I imagine he might have cried.

Brother Hubbard in Dublin is a standout spot for brunch lovers. The food is fresh, flavorful, and inspired by Middle Eastern cuisine, with great coffee to match. The atmosphere is lively yet relaxed, and the staff are friendly and efficient. A must-visit for a casual, high-quality meal.

The food was delicious and it came out quite quickly! The portion sizes were good too. But the price is a bit steep and the staff was not very friendly. They rarely came over so we waited a while to ask for water and get our receipt at the end of the meal. It was a long wait time but I assume that was because it was a late morning Saturday. I've heard great things about this place so I had high expectation but I would say it was just alright overall. Would suggest but think these are things to be aware of.

Such a great experience - from the welcome, the quality of the food and the interesting options. Left feeling delighted. Will be back.

Outstanding in every way - probably the best cafe or restaurant experience I’ve ever had in Dublin.

Much bigger than it looks from the outside. Great buzz about the place.

Super disappointing! The french toast was so rubbery and eggy and flavourless....it was more akin to eating an omelette or something. It was hard to tell if there was even bread in there. Bizarre texture, not good. I mentioned it to the staff and I'm still not sure if this is just how it's served or if the kitchen messed it up. It was incredibly busy with long queue so I do recommend to book a table in advance.

Excellent food and the staff were lovely!
