Breakfast and Brunch Menu FAQs

A bit of both. We are a sit down restaurant and café on Drumcondra Road Lower with table service, open seven days a week for breakfast, brunch and lunch. On Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings the same room becomes The Lovely Wine Bar. There is seating inside and out.

Until 12.30 on weekdays and 1pm at the weekend. After that the all day menu takes over, and the Lovely Granola, American Style Pancakes and House Sausage Roll stay on all day.

Yes. The Little Adults menu is served all day: sausage and eggs (€7.50), sausage and crispy baby potatoes (€8.50) or two little pancakes (€7.50). A babyccino is €1.50, and so is a puppuccino.

Walk-ins are welcome. Weekend mornings are our busiest, so booking is a good idea then, and worth it for a group. Use the Book a Table button or ring (01) 830 9549.

We cook with Irish produce from suppliers we know by name: award winning sausages from P O'Connell, black and white pudding from Dunnes of Wicklow, free range eggs from Annalitten in Castleblayney, County Monaghan, and buffalo burrata from Macroom Buffalo in West Cork.

Every dish on the menu carries allergen numbers, and the key is at the bottom of the menu. Tell our team about any allergy or dietary need when you order and they will talk it through with you.
