Farmer Browns Rathmines

You'll spot the weekend queue before you see the sign – that's how you know you've found Rathmines' busiest brunch spot. The cramped dining room fills with families, students, and couples all clamouring for their famous breakfast dishes that lean heavily into the whole farm-fresh thing without being preachy about it. The menu changes with the seasons, but expect hearty plates of locally-sourced everything – from their signature breakfast bowls to proper Irish beef that actually tastes like something. During the week, it's a different beast entirely, transforming into a dinner spot where you can get decent value mains without the weekend circus. Just don't expect to linger over coffee when there's a queue of hangover sufferers eyeing your table.
