An offshoot of restaurateur Oliver Dunne’s growing list of Dublin hotspots, Cleaver East specialise in laidback Irish and European Brunch using the highest quality ingredients.
Start off with delicious creamy wild mushrooms on sourdough and topped with a poached egg or go for garlic and bacon fried potatoes. Heartier alternatives include a spiced sweet potato rosti with mango chutney and chipotle Hollandaise, a proper Full Irish and a Spanish-inspired Pil Pil Prawn dish, essentially a chorizo and chickpea paella with crunchy sourdough.
They serve a bacon butty like no other – all the essential components but with a modern do-over in the form of steamed buns for bread, pulled pork for the bacon and pickles for a much-needed acid hit. Other favourites include crab cake sliders with a spicy carrot slaw, the perfect finger food to enjoy alongside truffle fries. Throw some bottomless booze into the mix (a steal at just €18.95 per person) to make yours a proper celebration.
