Brother Hubbard

A bright, all-day café on Capel Street built around Middle Eastern-influenced brunch plates — shakshuka, za'atar flatbreads, cardamom French toast — rather than a standard Irish fry-up. Weekend mornings draw a genuine local queue, not just tourists.

  • Weekday mornings are far quieter and just as good for a solo breakfast
