The Restaurant Trend Satisfying Our Hunger From Dawn to Dinner – 13 All Day Dining Restaurants in Dublin

Restaurateurs are waking up to the fact that breakfast is good business. A shift in our dining habits coupled with rising business costs means more and more restaurants are keeping their doors open morning, noon and night.

One of the most notable dining trends of the year globally, the new breed of eateries open round the clock are not your traditional all day diner or greasy spoon and come in a range of shapes and sizes.

There are cafe style spaces that transform as dusk descends, traditional evening restaurants that have built in a casual culinary crescendo to their high-end dinner service and deluxe food halls that are blurring the lines between retail and restaurant.

Here are 13 all day dining restaurants in Dublin that are catering to our cravings from dawn to dinner.

Dollard & Co

The newly opened gourmet food hall on Wellington Quay Dollard & Co is a must visit for food lovers – but you don’t necessarily need to pack your shopping bag. Successfully latching onto the ‘grocerant’ trend, a visit to the upscale market blends a restaurant experience with the grocery experience. Order from the all day menu at the Deli and grab one of eighty seats on offer, enjoy in store the spoils of the bakery, pizza and pasta counter or relax in the The Grill and watch the chefs in the open plan kitchen cook up your breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Balfes

Balfes Oat Pancakes with Mixed Berries

One of the first names you’ll be offered when you seek an all day dining option is Balfes, the stylish restaurant located on the doorstep of the five star Westbury Hotel.

SMS Cafe

The restaurant formerly know as Super Miss Sue, in the heart of Dublin’s Creative Quarter, has transformed into SMS Cafe, an eatery that sits somewhere between an Irish Cafe an American diner. The new all-day menu format means it doesn’t matter what time you surface there’s always breakfast on offer, think scotch eggs with homemade brown sauce and classic eggs and chips, or answer your comfort food cravings with dishes from your youth, like bacon and cabbage and steak and kidney pie. Craft beers, wines on tap and Bloody Marys are available all day too.

Seafood specialists Klaw Pokē on Capel Street first created waves when they introduced Dublin to pokē, or ‘Hawaiian Sushi’, and then caused more ripples with the introduction of another healthy food trend, antioxidant rich acai bowls garnished with a variety of toppings – basically healthy ice cream for breakfast.
