Anyone who works weekends will know the struggle of missing out on brunch. 

The sacred ritual. The social aspect. The glorious booziness. The absolute tashte. 

Every element that makes up a weekend brunch – taken away from you with a single shift. 

So, naturally, when I found out that Brioche in Ranelagh would begin serving brunch on weekdays, as well as weekends, I nearly went into cardiac arrest. 

A tiny beam of life came back into my life. 

I'm not a huge believer in 'signs', but I knew for sure that this was one. 

We have arrived at the part of the story where I stop rambling and begin showing you the most food-porny brunch pics you'll ever see. 

From buckwheat porridge with crab and haddock to their full Irish boudin – the menu is unique yet classic. 

I went in for the kill and tried the Eggs Benedict. I can assure you, they did not disappoint. 

Sweet, toasted, homemade brioche muffins topped with wilted spinach, ham hock with grainy mustard, perfectly poached eggs covered with creamy and lemon-y Hollandaise sauce. 

And the home fries? Life-changing and I'm not even exaggerating. I've never tasted fries like 'em in my whole life. 

Strongly considering bribing the chefs for that recipe alone. 

You may recognise Brioche from a piece we published a few months back about a publicity stunt they pulled to unveil their rebrand.

Brioche has all the vibes of a high-end, plush London or New York eatery. 

Inside the interior is different shades of navy and midnight blue, with gold accents throughout – you feel cool just basking in it. 

And the smell from the kitchen? You'll never forget it.
