Herbstreet in Dublin

Far too noisy especially if you are more than a group of three. Impossible to hear each other.

We visited Herbstreet on a Saturday, and overall it was a pleasant experience. The food was genuinely good, both brunch dishes we ordered were high quality and well prepared. Prices are a little on the expensive side, but the flavours and presentation do reflect the effort behind each plate. On weekends they only serve brunch, and something that stood out is that there wasn’t a dedicated tea or coffee menu to choose from, which felt a bit limiting. The place itself is lovely. It has a bright, pretty atmosphere, and the view over the canal adds a really nice touch to the experience. Service was friendly and attentive. The only downside is that they gently remind you that the table is limited to an hour and a half. They do it politely, but it does create a bit of pressure if you’re hoping to enjoy a long, relaxed brunch. If you want to linger and chat for a while, this might not be the ideal spot. Overall, a good brunch option with tasty food and great views, just better suited for a shorter visit than a long weekend catch‑up.

We were seated and served very promptly. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. Very friendly and competent staff which made our visit complete. Will definitely be back. Well done to all concerned.

Fab place. Friendly staff and gorgeous food.

Beautiful food. Very friendly staff. Can’t wait to go back.

We really enjoyed our Brunch we were early for our booking, they were so accommodating. The food, the atmosphere and the service were amazing. I would highly recommend eating here. Thank you.

I know regulars who rate the place highly with good reason from their perspective and I can’t. It’s noisy and difficult to chat when busy, has a very limited idea of vegetarian or pescatarian, and frankly, when one receives a “veggie” burger with fries and no side-salad, someone in the kitchen is taking the Michael. I need more than a plate of yellow carbs for €18. There are much better lunches available in the area for less. Sadly, I can’t really rate the service higher. There’s nothing wrong so much; it’s efficient, and there’s just no personality. And that, to me, sums up my visits. Clinical. No personality across the board. It may suit you though, so don’t discount making your own visit. I may just have hit some “off” days or enjoy something else more.

Food is always great here, and always packed with people so make sure to make a reservation.

Big fan of the French toast and eggs Benedict

We were here pre theatre the last Thursday in November we had not booked and got the last table outside. Staff were super helpful food was delicious and such a speedy service. The rigatoni with fennel sausage was excellent
