Flipping Delicious: Our Top 5 Spots in Dublin for Pancake Tuesday

Pancake Tuesday (March 4th) is upon us, and we’re flipping excited. Pancakes in Ireland have come a long way since the 90s. I still have childhood memories of shop-bought disasters microwaved to within an inch of their lives, served with Canderel and lemon juice that had the same consistency as a soggy Bounty towel. Thankfully, Dublin’s pancake scene has levelled up in recent years, and whether you’re after the fluffiest buttermilk stacks or a protein-packed feast, there’s something for everyone.

Here’s our top five spots to get your fix this Pancake Tuesday.

Keogh’s Café – Trinity Street (Mon-Sat 6:30am or 8:30 Sun)-6pm (Mon-Wed/Sun) and 7pm (Thurs-Sat)

A family-run gem serving up the same top-notch pancakes since 1996. Keogh’s is all about quality and comfort, and the best part? They donate leftover food to charity. So, go ahead and and get stuck in- guilt-free.
