Down near the Dodder in Clonskeagh you will find the 105 Cafe/Bistro... and what a lovely little find it is! A weekend work meeting finished with me treating my colleague to brunch and it ticks all the boxes!
The menu is varied but has all the usual suspects...
and anyone following my 'poached egg' incident, knows how much I love them... eggs benedict is my treat when I go to brunch and here they are appropriately called 'Hair of the Dog eggs!'
The decor is charming... all the 'shabby chic' you could want without the walls screaming at you!
By the time we got there the place was packed but we got a table in minutes and by the window which is where you want to be if you're dining alone... lots of people watching to be had!
I went for the apple juice from Stameen Farm in Drogheda which is 100% Irish and 100% natural...
The coffee was perfick... and the little milk bottles are just the cutest...
There's a specials board too which is well worth a read!
and for those of you with fur babies.. they're very welcome... you'll be set up out side with your furry pal, water bowls and blankies provided! Considering the walks along the river, it's a great pit stop at the weekend whether your friends have 4 legs or 2!
My 'hair of the dog eggs' arrive like so.... I know.... *drools*
(note to self never blog whilst hungry!)
Fear not, I asked for the sauce on the side, being all 'good' but it tasted delicious!
Dippy enough?! You betchya just the way they should be... and FYI, the way I can now make them! YAY!
The worker bee had the full breakfast... it was a long morning to be fair and it was HUGE! I defy anyone to be hungry after trying this!
We were left to linger, no rushing you out the door whilst your still chewing! Beware at the counter when paying though... ALL the good stuff is there.. and the carrot cake in the background... looked AMAZING! Thankfully out of arms length!
You'll find them online...

The 105 doesn't just do breakfasts... they're open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, check out their opening hours >>> HERE <<< If you're looking for a place to have a 'working lunch' or just a coffee after a stroll... OK fine, power walk! For the rugby types it's a nice walk to the RDS from here too so pre/post match munchies can be had! This is a great spot to drop into! Tell 'em I sent ya!
