Located where Talde the eponymous restaurant of the Top Chef alum used to be, Hudson Hound opened in 2021 near the Grove street stop of the Path train. This outpost of this NYC Irish-American restaurant serves delicious comfort food with classics like the fish and chips or the full Irish breakfast that is composed of two eggs (you make them your way, so I chose sunny side up), Irish bacon (rashers), Irish sausage (bangers), roasted half tomato with herbed breadcrumbs, sautéed mushrooms, black & white pudding, boxty potato cake, baked beans, and a slice of house made Irish soda bread. This complete breakfast is a great deal for $22 and you can even get its vegetarian version if you do not eat or do not want to eat meat, that is replaced by a veggie burger that you can also get as a main dish. They also have an avocado toast, but I admit that it was a bit disappointing, the avocado being as if put in a blender, missing a bit of texture.
Dessert is not to be missed, all of them being made in house. Their sticky toffee pudding, served warm with vanilla ice cream is superb, so is the warm apple crisp.
I like Hudson Hound for bunch: probably quieter than dinner, the food is quite good and very comforting, in a relaxed atmosphere. Great spot for a simple, casual meal.
Enjoy (I did)!
