Hidden in the leafy shade of Harrington Street, you could easily overlook Sister Sadie. Although similar in style and menu to its sibling cafe Brother Hubbard, the Southside location is perhaps handier for those living in Halls.

The minimalist interior was designed by Dublin-based company Design Goat, known for their work in such places as 3FE. I ordered the Turkish eggs menemen, a fancy twist on scrambled eggs with toast, while my partner opted for an open sandwich of smoked salmon.

The eggs arrived topped with tomato and roasted red peppers with a feta and black olive yogurt, served with sourdough toast and baby spinach. I can happily report that for the sum of €9.95, this generous dish offered an enticing array of flavours.

My partner’s smoked salmon sandwich came complete with cucumber, baby spinach, sumac and a lemon, caper, dill and crème fraiche dressing. She added a poached egg to her meal for an extra euro, bringing the total cost up to €9.45. For those with a sweet tooth, there is an abundant selection of baked goods to sample, from classic brownies to more unusual flavours, such as their coconut and orange cupcakes.

Located just outside the commotion of the city centre and offering sophisticated, good value food, Sister Sadie is definitely one to have on your radar.
