18 Mouthwatering Dublin Brunch Dishes You Need To Try In 2015

There can be little doubt about it: brunch is hands-down the best meal of the week.

Not only is it enjoyed mostly at the weekends – meaning we associate it with good, relaxed, carefree times – but it also features ridiculously large portions and makes it socially acceptable to drink alcohol in the mornings. Add in the fact that the majority of the menu features tasty pork, the prices are cheap and everybody is in good form and you’ve really got the perfect mix.

With Dublin brunch options improving all the time we thought we’d put together a new list of the most exciting things you simply have to try this weekend and into 2015 in general. Get drooling…

1. Farmer Browns – The Farmer Burger

Sometimes you just feel like a dirty big burger to clear the night before, and this one hits the spot.

2. BEAR – Sputino Egg

A restaurant known for their meat, but this is a delicious and interesting take on brunch. Just like their whole menu, it’s full of invention and wonder.

7. The Butchers Grill – Baby Back BBQ Ribs

You’ll probably want a clear enough head, because dealing with the mess of eating ribs with a hangover is not advised. They are absolutely divine.

10. Super Miss Sue – Bacon Sambo With Chips And Homemade Ketchup

Nothing fancy about the description but the quality of the bacon, the bread and most of all the homemade sauce (which we named top of our list of best sauces and dips in Dublin) makes this an incredible experience.

Has to be ordered in advance but at €50 including a bottle of wine, this is as finely as you can possibly eat on a Sunday.

15. WUFF – Eggs Benedict
