Lovely atmosphere with both indoor and outdoor seating (weather dependent). Portion is not that big but the food is yummy. Not a lot of vegetarian options but there are. Staff are really friendly and accommodating. Wheelchair accessible within the restaurant but the lift for the wheelchair at the entrance (and the museum entrance) often malfunction. However there is another entrance for wheelchair (and pram), you just need to walk up the stairs (or get someone else to walk up the stairs for you) to the museum reception and ask the staff there and they can let you in the other way.

Excellent lunch venue, adjacent to Ivy Gardens and the Book museum. Outside tables available in the garden

One of the best places I’ve been to for a brunch! Atmosphere of a good restaurant, but prices are okay. Food and coffee - delicious! Please pay attention to the pictures on the walls and their descriptions, I love it Also they have a tiny bookshop and a terrace

We enjoyed a very special brunch today - after all the busyness of Christmas. Our waiter was most attentive - and the baked egg dish and shakshouk were scrumptious alongside the delicious coffee. The atmosphere was very relaxing and we were most impressed with the gift shop afterwards with its special Irish craft offerings. It is a little oasis in the heart of the city and we will certainly be back.

I went with some friends to this wonderful hidden gem in the city centre for the first time a few days ago. It was a beautiful experience and really worth it. We wanted to stop just for coffee but we liked the place so much that we stayed for lunch. The food was so fresh and delicious and beautiful presented. We were welcomed by a very friendly Italian member of staff who described and advised us on the menu. Excellent atmosphere with lovely music and delicious food. We will definitely be back soon.

Had a lovely brunch here this morning. The portion size was just right, and even though the staff were clearly busy, they were attentive and welcoming as soon as I arrived. I brought my dog and sat outside beneath a beautiful tree which is a perfect, peaceful setting. I had the eggs with bacon and sausages, served with delicious brown bread. The waitress kindly brought out a fresh bowl of water for my dog, which was a thoughtful touch. I’ve also stopped by a few times for coffee and cake, which have always been great. I saw a review mentioning the vegetable soup, personally, I enjoyed it the time I had it. It’s a light, healthy option, though it might not suit everyone’s taste. It can get busy, but there’s usually plenty of space, and the best part is being able to stroll straight out the back into the Iveagh Gardens.
