Grían Cafe in Dublin

17/05/2026: very generous portions and delicious

12/05/2026: Decided to meet a friend there for brunch today. It was only 11.00am and obviously very quiet. On entering we were brought to a table and given our menus. Our server came back within 10 minutes to take our order of toast and sausage and eggs benedict. Our food came about 15 minutes later. The server put our food on the table, went away and we realised he hadn't given any cutlery. We waited about 5 minutes expecting him to return..... he didn't come back. My friend went to find cutlery. Found another server, explained what happened, requested cutlery which was duly given, without apology. My eggs Benedict was cool by then and mediocre. The 'muffin' was tough and difficult to cut. Though the eggs were perfect, the hollandaise sauce was meagre and tasteless but there was a smear of mayonnaise on the side? Overall a disappointing experience. Even with that small order they mixed up our tab with another table. I'm sorry to say we won't be back.
