    31 Lennox, 5 minutes walk from Camden St, & in a neighborhood away from traffic, was a nice getaway from city centre noise & a great food experience! Food was good, dessert especially was delicious! Waiter service was OK, atmosphere wasn't as lively as we would've expected... very quiet & perhaps that was because we went for brunch at 1 on a Sunday! the food compensated for this however & I would come back for sure!

    Good restaurant in the heart of portobello. Wide variety of options with a tasty outcome. Good value for coffee and pastry for 6 euro if you want something quick and easy.

    We had the eggs Benedict and full Irish vegan breakfast. The pictures look better than it taste. Maybe is the combination of the porchetta or the hollandaise sauce. Not sure. There is something that doesn’t enhance the flavours in the dish. My friend enjoyed her vegan breakfast.

    This is a delightful little place. The servers are, kind, friendly, and attentive. The espresso drinks are well made and I had a delicious little croissant. My friend and I decided on the Full Irish Breakfast which was an experience. The bacon was my favorite thing on the plate. The sausage and white pudding were good as well as were the eggs and beans. Everything seemed a bit underseasoned to me but a bit of salt and pepper made it better. Good experience!

    I've recently moved down the road and I'd seen all the amazing reviews — so it's safe to say I was really excited by the menu and what was to come. Unfortunately, and I do think it might be the day we came in. I'd a 1pm train, and got into 31 Lennox at ~10:30 thinking I'd have enough time to eat and make the train, this was not the case. It wasn't until I said it to them did they say they only had one chef on and it would be a few more, minutes. We didn't get the food for 25 minutes after that. We didn't get our main until 11:50. The steak was completely overdone and chewy. Another couple had gotten up and left as they were there before us, and still hadn't gotten their food. As I mentioned, I think it was one of those days but I think it should have been said when we arrived that there was one chef and it would be a while, not after we waited almost an hour. I missed my train, to top it off 😂.

    Intimate casual dining spot in a great part of town. Had the vegan breakfast and a Bloody Mary. Also had a side of vegan cheese on garlic ciabatta. All the food and drinks were amazing and the service was second to none.

    I ordered Buttermilk pancakes and Italian sausage Benedict, and both were fantastic. The atmosphere was great and overall was a nice experience. Amazing service from Livia. She was very accommodating, friendly and made sure I was looked after.

    A proper little gem! Lovely food, friendly staff and seeing them having to turn away so many hopeful customers is probably a better endorsement than any review that could be written. The breakfast bap was delicious, packed with taste but didn't fall apart in a soggy mess like so many similar dishes would. The staff were also really kind to my dog ☺

    Sadly It was underwhelming! The staff were lovely but the food wasn’t great. The hollandaise sauce was quite watery and not very flavourful, and the bread wasn’t too nice either. Maybe we caught them on an off day! At least the photo looks nice!

    A wonderful cafe - much bigger than it looks from the outside. A large menu that is good value. Great customer service - the manager was very accommodating changing the time of my booking at the last minute. Quick response via email and FB messenger. Would definitely visit again!

    We had breakfast at 31 Lennox and it was truly exceptional! You wouldn't expect it from the outside, as it looks small and secluded, but the interior is beautifully cozy and lovingly decorated. The food was top-notch. We can definitely recommend it. The 20-minute taxi ride for breakfast was well worth it!

    I had an absolutely amazing dining experience at 31 Lennox Dublin! The Italian BMT and arancini from the lunch menu were spectacular – bursting with flavors that left my taste buds in awe. What truly made the experience exceptional was Adrian’s impeccable service. His warmth and local insight added a personal touch to the meal, making me feel like a valued guest. I also appreciated the fact that the portion sizes at 31 Lennox Dublin were generous. It’s a testament to the restaurant’s commitment to providing not only amazing flavors but also a satisfying and satisfyingly filling meal. If you’re in Dublin, 31 Lennox is an absolute must-visit!

    Excellent and a varied menu. Something for everyone. We ordered the pancakes, the buttermilk Caesar salad, the chicken and eggs (runny yolk) and the wings. All very well cooked and tasted delicious.

    Tucked away in a residential neighbourhood, this gem of a restaurant, converted from a traditional house, offers a truly homely Irish charm. Its interior boasts an incredible homage to traditional Irish living, providing a warm and authentic backdrop for breakfast. The variety and quality of the Irish breakfast on offer are outstanding, with each dish capturing the essence of a home-cooked meal. It's a must-visit for those looking to savour the real flavour of Ireland in the morning.

    This place has a romantic vibe. I love Italian Cuisine so I went to this restaurant for a wine tasting session and had nibbles and appetizers. Starting with Prosecco,later came the finest wines from Italy. Either it be white or red wine , I Loved all of them. The lady was talking very beautifully about the wines and the other staff was so cordial and the service was just great. There was live music which was so soothing to the ears. Perfect place for a cozy date or having drinks with friends and family. Loved the bruschetta and other Italian appetizers. I just wanted to spend as much time as I could. Best day ever.

    lovely lunch and brunch place. I had a burger for lunch and it was very good. Staff is attentive and fast. The bread is amazing and coffee perfectly made. It is a quiet place, so perfect for a recharging lunch or coffee The upstairs is beautiful as well and can give even more privacy. Highly recommend!

    Called hopelessly for any available spot on Christmas Eve; super friendly call to keep a table for us. Had a homey vibe to enjoy the food. The sauce over eggs were too much overpowering the taste of whole food & making it heavy but good quality in general. Like to go for another try.

  • 5/5 Jack H. 5 months ago on Google • 31 reviews
    Went here recently for brunch and it was tremendous. The food was excellent, I would recommend the breakfast bap, but the full breakfast and scrambled bap also looked delicious too. Attached photos for the menu. Service was fast and no hassle at all. All super friendly. I would recommend booking to make sure you have a table when you want. I went midday on Saturday with a booking and the place was busy so I assume I would have needed to wait if I didn't have the booking.

  • 4/5 Milton M. 1 year ago on Google
    Service is 10/10. I would give 12/10 if possible. One of the best services I have ever had in Dublin. My dish wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t good either. Had the chicken and eggs, it was ok. Too much sweet potatoes, chicken not crispy, and cheese sauce bland. It didn’t stick to my head as super tasty. My husband had the breakfast bap and loved it, so I will definitely come back to try a different dish.

  • 4/5 Dark S. 1 year ago on Google
    Myself and my partner had the Brioche Scramble Combo and 31 Lennox Full Breakfast, plus a juice and hot chocolate. Overall a lovely quality breakfast, the food tasted fresh and delicious, and there were plenty of brunch options to choose from, staff were also polite enough. Only a couple of small things let this place down a little, first was the hot chocolate that tasted too milky. And second was more preference, but I would have preferred the Brioche Scramble Combo to come with more of the main items and not with fries. Fries felt too much and not necessary on a breaded meal. Overall though, enjoyed and would recommend this place for brunch!

    Amazing service. Honestly really good wait staff. Food was okay, wasn’t amazing. Got the chicken and eggs and the breakfast bap. Latte was really well made. Think the cutlery and glassware could be cleaned more thoroughly.

  • 4/5 Anthony N. 1 year ago on Google
    We got the Porchetta Benedict (photo 1) and the Italian Sausage Benedict (photo 2). Excellent portion size, the hollandaise sauce was great, as was the sausage and garnishes, the pickled fennel really enhanced the Italian sausage. My only criticism is that the poached eggs had set so either not enough attention was given to them or they had been left out. Had the eggs been runny it would've been perfect. I'd ask them to make sure they're not overdone next time. I'm happy to come back and try the rest of their menu. Booking in advance is essential as it was very busy when we arrived on Sunday around noon and they needed to turn people away.

    Probably one of my favourite brunches I’ve had in Dublin in a while. I got the buttermilk chicken Caesar salad and it was delicious. Usually you have to dig through a pile of leaves to find ANYTHING else in a salad but this had the leaves as a little complement to the rest of the salad. The chips were lovely too and I’ve been dreaming about the dip they serve with it. The service was great too. I’ll definitely be back here!

    Came here for a work lunch. Prices are reasonable enough. And they have 2 vegan options, the mushroom burger and the aubergine with cheese on top. I ordered the aubergine dish. I thought the vegan version was just without cheese. But I was happily surprised that they added vegan cheese. The reason for the 4 starts is that the aubergine’s skin was not that soft. Other than that everything was great. Coworkers said they liked the mushroom burger. This place is great for large group of people with mix dietary requirements.
