Plenty of space upstairs and if you score a spot by the big windows you have a lovely view. Cozy especially when it's raining. Really enjoyed my late breakfast here and will try to come back before I leave Dublin.

Terrific large restaurant, very popular, opposite Trinity College, near museums and gallery's great location. Food options are superb. Hot or cold counters, table service well worth a delicious lunch/brunch or indeed dinner. My favourite is Wrights Fish and Chips gorgeous fresh white fish. Plenty of food options for all tastes, very large seating area. Highly recommend it.
