Hatch & Sons

A wonderful city centre flagship for Ireland’s artisan produce, Hatch & Sons is run by Domini and Peaches Kemp
Seats 50. Open all day. Mon-Thu 8 am-5pm, Fri 8am-9pm, Sat 9am-6pm, Sun 10am-5pm. Set 4-course dinner Friday nights 6pm-9 pm. Wifi. Wine from €31. MasterCard, Visa. Also at Hugh Lane Gallery, Parnell Sq. abbreviations

Set in the basement of Dublin’s Little Museum (customers get a 10% discount on entry to the museum) this space would originally have been the kitchen of this fine town house.


Like stepping into a country kitchen in the midst of the city, this subterranean café aspires to take you away from the urban humdrum and restore you with honest-to-goodness home cooking and traditional baking, it’s not surprising that sourcing is at the heart of this modest operation.


Décor is refreshingly low-key with small wooden and zinc-topped tables and mismatched wooden chairs crammed into two rooms.


It’s romantic to find the original hearth, crammed with firewood, as a main decorative feature and a trip to the bathroom reveals the old stone steps staff would have used to carry dishes up to the family above.


The walls are plain but the large island counter groans under the weight of artfully arranged baking, fresh fruit and old style, Irish made sweets - and also a small but thoughtfully selected collection of Irish artisan products for sale: “If it isn’t Irish we don’t sell it”.


Serving an all-day menu that includes fried breakfasts served in a pan, complete with homemade soda bread and pats of Glenilen butter, there’s bottles of old school YR sauce on the side if you’re so inclined. Keogh's tea is served in generous silver pots with dainty strainers while a wine list offers Wine Lab wines by the glass and bottle as well as a few carefully chosen Irish craft cider and beers.


The commitment to Irish foods is evident on the menu where rustic sandwiches are served in blaas, Waterford’s famous floury baps, and items like Coolea cheese, Burren Smokehouse fish, Michael Bermingham’s spiced beef are among the many name checked artisan foods and drinks.


Hot mains, perhaps fish cakes or beef and Guinness stew are offered alongside sandwiches, cold deli boards, salads and daily specials. While mainly serving breakfast, lunch and cakes they do open late on a couple of evenings and they host occasional evening supper clubs based around talks by visiting food producers.


A wonderful city centre flagship for Ireland’s artisan produce Hatch & Sons’ heart is in the right place. Dishes are clean and light, which is a good thing as it leaves room for the tempting baking on display. If it’s on offer, do try their carrot cake - it is amongst the finest in Dublin.
