The Winter Warmer Selections at Murphy’s Bistro

There’s something special about winter dining in Dublin – when the temperatures dip, we naturally gravitate towards comfort, flavour and food that warms you through. That’s why we’ve put together a few of The Winter Warmer selections here at Murphy’s Bistro, featuring hearty classics, seasonal specials and a few festive favourites to help you stay well-fed and content during the colder months.

From our signature Beef and Guinness Stew to our limited-edition Christmas Sandwich, this menu is designed to be satisfying without being over the top – the kind of dishes you can enjoy whether you’re out for a casual lunch, weekend brunch or simply popping in from the cold.

A Proper Winter Staple: The Christmas Sandwich

With a brief visit to our menu, Our Christmas Sandwich is here for the season, and it’s proving to be a firm favourite already. It is made with warm turkey, ham, sage stuffing, Brie cheese and a generous spoon of cranberry sauce, it captures the spirit of the season in every bite. Served toasted, it hits that perfect balance between festive and familiar – without the need for a full turkey dinner.

Ideal for those midday cravings or a post-shopping pick-me-up, this sandwich has become a highlight of our winter warmer line-up. Pair it with a side of truffle aioli parmesan chips and you’ve got a no-fuss winter meal worth savouring.

The Winter Warmer Dishes to See You Through the Cold

For something a little heartier, our Beef and Guinness Stew remains a seasonal mainstay. Braised with root vegetables and served with creamy mash and brown bread, it’s rich, warming and deeply satisfying. It’s the kind of dish that makes a proper winter warmer – something familiar, flavourful and filling.

If you’re in the mood for something grilled and generous, our Murphy’s Double Burger ticks all the right boxes. With 12oz of beef, cheddar, sautéed onion and our house burger sauce, it’s best enjoyed with chips and maybe a bit of garlic cheese bread on the side.

For those who love a big breakfast no matter the season, the Full Irish Breakfast is always an option. Complete with fried eggs, sausages, black and white pudding, mushrooms, beans and toast – it’s a reliable go-to any time of day. And if you’re after something lighter but still warming, the Vegetarian Breakfast includes avocado, hash browns, tomato, mushrooms, beans and even a sweet touch with pancake and Nutella.

The Winter Warmer Brunch Options for Cosy Weekends

Winter isn’t all about heavy meals – sometimes a warming brunch is all you need. Our Menemen, a Turkish-style baked egg dish with tomato and peppers, served with sourdough and tzatziki, offers a bright, savoury option that still feels comforting.

It’s ideal for a late Sunday brunch or an easygoing afternoon catch-up when you want something a bit different from the usual.

Small Sides, Big Flavour

No winter warmer selection would be complete without sides that round out your meal. The Truffle Aioli Parmesan Chips have returned for the season – golden, crisp and full of savoury depth. We also recommend our Garlic Cheese Bread, served hot and perfect for tearing and sharing.

They’re great for pairing with mains or enjoying as a snack alongside a warm drink.

Tea, Coffee and a Warm Seat Indoors

Whether you’re on your way to the shops or winding down after work, sometimes the real winter warmer is simply a hot drink. Our full selection of teas and coffees includes everything from black tea and herbal options to cappuccinos, lattes and even Turkish coffee.

There’s something reassuring about sitting down to a well-made cuppa or creamy hot chocolate when it’s brisk outside – and we always serve it without any rush.
