sister sadie

at last i've visited brother hubbard's little sis! sister sadie offers a very similar menu to her older bro. favourites like the beans andpulledpork appear on the menu and the food and service is just as good as brother hubbard. i went for the ham and cheese roll which came with relish and rocket and a small side salad sprinkled with lovely seeds. i feel ss doesn't quite have the same bustling atmosphere as bh though but she is fairly new and i'm sure like every little sis will do her best to outshine the big bro when she gets older! there is tons of outside seating so this will be a goldmine in the summer.

i've been here a few times and its really nice fresh food. small menu, but everything is made and presented really beautifully. the bircher muesli with coconut milk, apple juice, mango and pomegranate is so full of flavour, and is my favourite breakfast option.in terms of brunch, i find a few of the options very same-same... eggs and beans basically! so i prefer thepulledpork sandwich or the chorizo jam rarebit sandwich with caramelised red onion which is divine. the only complain i would have is the sourdough bread can be a bit hard. they also do an amazing brioche french toast with poached pears and rose flavoured mascarpone cream. its so different, filling and honestly amazing.the hot chocolate comes as a thick chocolaty ganache with a jug of steamed milk, complete indulgence. voted dublin's best hot chocolate and i would agree. the coffee in general here is excellent.they do a range of sweet treats which varies day to day. the last time a had a jaffa cake doughnut which was the perfect end to a really nice meal :)

had heard a lot of people raving about this place, so popped by on saturday for lunch. lovely spot with an outdoor seating area. as expected there was a short queue for a table. found the menu limited enough - you would want to like eggs...! i went for the turkish eggs which was scrambled egg with pepper, spinach and a bit of spice. unfortunately i found a massive hair tangled amongst it so really couldn't enjoy it. my friend got thepulledpork sandwich which was apparently really nice! came to €29 with two juices for the two of us. anyway probably won't be back given the hair incident...

brought a chicago based friend and his significant chicago other here for brunch and they were utterly blown away - oh how dublin has changed one quipped! not least because of the vegan options but also the dog friendliness. had an amazing lunch of beans cooked in a rich tomato sauce withpulledpork and fried egg. so delicious. can't wait to return and bring himself

visited here for brunch recently. i had the shakshouka with a side ofpulledpork which was absolutely delicious. great middle eastern style brunches and the coffee (3fe) was great. will definitely be back for their supper!

had been to the sister restaurant of this place in the summer, brother hubbard and have been dying to try this place since. came with my boyfriend and he was seriously impressed. don't think u can get a better brunch in dublin. i went for the beans special but opted for thepulledpork as extra. paul got thepulledpork and egg special, very similar dished except mine came with feta and yogurt dressing. absolutely delicious, can't beat their homemade beans andpulledpork! dying to try theirpulledpork sandwich but wanted a proper feed and the beans did the job. washed it down with a cappuccino for myself and a latte for him. the coffee was seriously delicious but very small i coulda had a second but decided to get a belgian chocolate brownie to share. the brownie was divine there was walnuts and caramel sporadically through it and it came with raspberry infused cream. i don't think i could get better brunch if i tried! top marks

had a very enjoyable sunday afternoon in sister sadie last weekend. this was my first time in ss but i'm a big fan of brother hubbards so my expectations were high.

after much debate, i ordered the beans classic which is baked cannellini beans in a fancy tomato sauce served with a whipped feta, lemon and olive yoghurt and a fried egg. oh, and sourdough bread too! ! the food envy quickly set in when my friend'spulledpork sandwich arrived to the table - i was lucky enough to try some and it was fab. they don't call it in the bestpulledpork sambo in dublin for nothing.

very impressed with both the standard of food & service in ss. i will be back.

this place is unreal. but far out from the main food places in town but worth the walk up camden. you will never leave hungry and everything is so wholesome. i had amazing broccoli soup garnished with creme fraiche and greens. it was so filling and came with two slices of bread and hummus. they also do a deal where you can get salads too but i honestly couldn't. the staff were super friendly it was packed at lunch so we got a table outside but they brought us blankets over which was great. if you're intopulledpork that looks unreal too. oh and my friends said the chocolate swirl pastry was the bomb! good variation of veggie and healthy options though so caters for everyone!

a gorgeous spot hidden away in portobello, sister sadie is the perfect place for brunch! i tried the baklava french toast and the beans andpulledspecial, and both were absolutely delicious. very reasonably priced for the size of the portions too. will definitely be back!

i’ve always wanted to work in town… the after work shopping trips and drinks and the huge choice for lunch and dinner – all the stuff you don’t get when you work in an industrial estate in d12! the main part i’m envious of is the food options though… i constantly see people on social media who get to sample all the new spots on their lunch while i sit at my desk or in our canteen with my home made soup or salad, struggling to make it around all the latest hotspots over the weekend.

one such place that i’d heard lots about is sister sadie on harrington street… my only experience was reading others reviews and flying past it on the bus into town. being close to hatch street, it’s got the benefit of proximity to aviva and deloitte and i’ve often jealously viewed the tweets from workers who can pop in for a bite to eat on their break. as a sister restaurant to the ever popular brother hubbard, it has always had a lot to live up to – and for me it certainly did!

my review is split over two visits, one for lunch while on a quick break from a yoga workshop nearby and then a flying visit for a solo coffee and cake date. on the side of a gorgeous leafy street, they’ve made the most of all available space with a cute outdoor “non-smoking area” – delightful, i can eat my lunch outdoors without the smoke!

the indoor area is funky and modern with desk-type tables and some pretty cool light fixtures. there’s also a section with some packaged foodstuff for sale – i didn’t even look as i know i would have bought it all! i loved the little touches like the cute salt and pepper holders.

the menu offered enough to keep anyone happy… a few smaller and healthy options like the granola or bircher bowl then more substantial choices of baklava french toast, turkish eggs, beans &pulledpork. there is a middle eastern emphasis on many of their dishes and they have just recently started supper evenings along the same line.

trying to keep lunch somewhat light and healthy we went for the regular bircher bowl of oats with dried fruits, toasted nuts, crème fraiche,a drizzle of maple syrup and pomegranate seeds (€6.50) & the special of the day, sabiche salad and warm flatbread – chargrilled aubergine with spiced potatoes, cucumber tomato and red onion salad with tahini yogurt (€10.95).

both dishes were substantial, healthy and so tasty. the salad part of my dish was light and fresh, the aubergine still had a nice bite and the flatbread was perfect for clearing the end of the dressing from the plate. the staff were super cool and friendly and managed to rush everything for us to get back to our yoga moves on time :-)

my second visit was an altogether less healthy affair and i plumped for a cappucino and the chocolate & hazlenut scroll (€2.80)… in a word – amaze! i did have a slight speeding up of the heart with the sugar rush but the pastry was absolutely delicious and filled me for the morning :-)

open for breakfast, brunch, lunch and now dinner too there is no excuse not to visit and try out this fantastic – and somewhat healthy – food!

we went there for sunday brunch. i ordered the turkish eggs with side of chorizo and my wife ordered the special beans &pulledpork. chorizo was great but both turkish eggs and beans were nothing special. i don't understand the hype of the place

eventually made it here for the famous award winningpulledpork sandwich and i was n't disappointed! arrived hungry and we were immediately sat down and coffees ordere with no delay which is always a good start!

the interior is really nice and bright and a good ambience for brunch , music playing but not overly loud!

the menu was full of interesting looking options and i'll certainly return to sample the beans dish which looks amazing! coffee was top notch and the service was spot on.

...with the opening of sister sadie on harrington street (in the site of the former tiesan cafe), i don't think there's going to be any ennui anytime soon..  sister sadie comes from the people behind the acclaimed brother hubbard (capel street), who currently hold the title of best sandwich in dublin, awarded by mckennas' guides  for theirpulledpork creation....serves breakfast until 11.30ish (taken from their menu), after which it switches to lunch service. the team have continued to work with their established brother hubbard suppliers for their new menu. soups, salads, flatbreads and of course sandwiches all feature with a definite middle eastern flavour going on.

i work in the vicinity of sister sadie, and i can honestly say that it's recent opening was a godsend to my lunchtime routine. sister sadie is split across two rooms, with simple square tables and window seating. little sprigs of flowers and the brightly painted walls add colour and warmth.

what do i like to eat here? the cannellini beans in a thick, lightly spiced tomato sauce topped withpulledpork and a soft fried egg are pretty damn good. alternatively, try the brother hubbard turkish eggs menemen. slices of toast come piled high with eggs scrambled with tomato and red peppers, dressed with black olive and feta yogurt.  oh, and definitely try the coconut and citrus cake! it's wheat-free but utterly delicious. 

final thoughts: an excellent cafe with a wide-ranging, tasty and healthy menu.
