The Art of Coffee in Dublin

29/12/2024: We went to Balfes for brunch and it was a fantastic experience! The food was excellent – ​​fresh, creative and perfectly prepared. After brunch we treated ourselves to dessert, which was just as delicious. The service was particularly noteworthy: super friendly, attentive and warm, which made the entire experience even more pleasant. The atmosphere at Balfes is modern and inviting – a perfect spot for a relaxed brunch in Dublin. Absolutely recommended!

10/12/2024: I thought this restaurant was very nice with great, kind staff. However, for the price point, I would expect appetizer portions to be bigger as well as quality of food. My friend had a 28+€ vegan burger that wasn’t cooked all the way through and I had a Poke Bowl for ~32€ that honestly wasn’t remarkable and that I could have gotten elsewhere. Luckily, my friend’s parents took us out to dinner however if it was my own money I wouldn’t be coming back. The Hugo Spritz cocktail was very delicious but again, small. I did appreciate how they had a vegan option on the menu however the brownie was, again, terribly small and neither the ice cream or the brownie tasted very good. I enjoyed my experience but can’t say I would come back.
