Best breakfast

FirstIn · 27-10-2011 8:55am #1

Folks, where best for breakfast in Bray do you reckon? I normally go to Eddie Rockets, odd choice you might think but they do a great fry and their coffee is good. Thanks

ClimberC · 27-10-2011 12:17pm

Dont know if this place is still around but my brother brought me to a place across from axa about 6 years ago. It was so good :eek:.

Think it was called "best breakfast in bray" ??

Loved Molloy's in the Quinsborough Road. Also the breakfast in the Esplanade Hotel (they don't do them anymore) as they did really lovely eggs benedict and eggs florentine. The Tower Bistro/Heather House used to do a nice breakfast as well.

Climber thats the scullery and its still great. The Martello does a lovely breakfast too.

zoobizoo · 28-10-2011 11:16am

Yeah, The Martello do a great breakfast - full Irish for €7.50 and I think that includes tea or coffee.... plus, you can sit outside and soak up the views or inside upstairs and watch the sea.

Thanks guys. Some good suggestions there. I thinks it's the scullery first then I'll try the Martello. Btw, give eddie rockets a try guys. It is good.

One can break one's fast in a leisurely way in the cafe in the formal garden of Kilruddery House in Bray, with splendid coffee, delicious viennoiserie, fruity drinks and delightful conversation. Much to be recommended, and even more so for 'brunch' or for afternoon tea. Do try!

The Scullery was the best breakfast till about a year ago, It's gone a bit downhill but still better than most others. But if you want the best try Coffee & Treats on the Quinnsboro road after the launderette.A full breakfast costs €6 and you get two of everything. It is a BIG breakfast.

Indeed kind sir. Delightful conversation can make one's sautéed saucissons so much more agreeable to the palate.
I shall instruct my driver to carry my personage thereto, forthwith.

Yes, I should think you and your party will greatly enjoy the experience.

Do check their opening times, though, if you propose to visit tomorrow, since it's a public holiday. If it's closed, you should be able to make do with something at Avoca in Kilmacanogue. Other than that, the area is a culinary desert.

Think they should be renamed worst breakfast in bray. Really poor quality cheap food used, cooked badly and too expensive. Even the red and brown source is some horrible cash and carry cheapo brand which ruins breakfast even more. It used to be good, had three bad ones now, after first bad one I thought give it another go, after the second I said I woulnd go again and after the third I havnt been since.

If you don't mind travelling up the road, pebbles near lidl in greystones do beautiful breakfasts.

My Dear Hugo. You jest? A Lidl is a German device for preventing the steam escaping from your cook's saucepan whilst preparing your custard. Frightfully good idea - the savings on anthracite for the Aga are remarkable.

Slowburner, my friend, I feel compelled to alert of your erronious belief!

As far as my understanding, a Lidl is the arcuate plastic upon the circumference of a traffic aperture, pedestrian or vehicular. It was devised by a Herr Clemens Lidl in order to allow movement and management of motorcades without the awareness of spy aircraft.

Why my dear Pseud, I humbly implore you to accept my apologies. I have had a little port and perhaps a tincture of the colonel's Armagnac from his cellar in Bastide ( a fine Armagnac, I might add).
The aforementioned tipples appear to have addled my senses somewhat.
You are quite correct sir, it was Herr Aldi who invented the saucepan lid and not, as you so correctly point out, Herr C.Lidl - the consummate genius inventor of the 'Motorkraftenspyderunterdisken ®' in Bavaria, winter of 1903, I believe.

scullery for the fry.

oli's for the coffee.

we need more places like these in bray.

danois · 02-11-2011 3:05pm

The best fry i have had lately is in the new coffee shop up at shs. Its a huge cafe inside and foods lovely. They serve finbees coffee. Its just passed ballywaltrim but on other side of the road.

dammitjanet · 02-11-2011 4:08pm

Used to go to "best breakfast in bray" but I found the food went down hill, last time I went there the food was almost cold- think it had been sitting for a while. They also have strange opening hours

Love Molloys, great food- full fry selection and the staff are lovely. Also not too expensive for the portion you get

FirstIn · 03-11-2011 6:54pm

Some good suggestions. Thanks guys.

Best coffee in best is a little Italian few doors down from dunnes on the quinnsboro rd,re breckie skip bray and go to 3Q's in greystones,tis not cheap though.

murpho999 · 24-11-2011 11:58pm

The Scullery is by no means the best breakfast, as other's have said it's gone downhill.

Also, I find the decor to be really old fashioned.

Don't rate Molloy's either.....I hate breakfasts that are kept under hot lamps.

Really have to say that Bray's cafe choices are very poor.

When compared to place like Greystones or Dun Laoghaire I find a lot of the places in Bray to be rough and ready with very poor choice of food and quality.

The Mermaid for there awesome veggie breakfast.

That's the Betelnut Cafe

FirstIn · 17-08-2013 12:28am

I'll probably get slated for this old thread. I did try the Quinnsboro road offering. Cheap alright but not great.

Amy updates re where to go. Perhaps things have moved on and we have a clear favourite.

NobodyImportant · 19-08-2013 9:48am

+1 for Betelnut in the Mermaid and the Martello's breakfast aint bad either, had Eggs Benedict in there the other day and I've been dreaming about them ever since.

Two I will try. Thank You.

Sugarlumps · 20-08-2013 8:42am

Betelnut is nice but crazy expensive.

murpho999 · 20-08-2013 2:51pm

Personally find Betelnut over rated and over priced.

Had breakfast in Ocean Cafe (Katie Gallagher's) last week and it wasn't bit.

Similar choice to Martello but a little cheaper.

Sweet_pea · 21-08-2013 12:48pm

I really like the ocean cafe for a weekend breakfast. The food is good, although really I'd like more choice on the menu. What I like most about it is how relaxed and quiet it is. There's no music playing and the staff don't bother you too much.

My brain power is pretty limited in the morning so I love it for the odd slow sunday breakfast.

FirstIn · 24-08-2013 10:06pm

Thanks for the suggestion of Ocean Cafe in Katie Gallaghers. I gave it a try this morning. I had the full Irish and it was spot on, good food and smartly presented with really nice coffee.
My companion enjoyed his scrambled egg.
Price wise it is great value. 8euro for a full Irish with tea/coffee. Service was without fault.
Atmosphere, as said above, lovely and relaxed, a calmness.
I enjoy breakfast out at the weekend, it's sort of taken the place of dinners out, and I'll be back. I'd give it a 8/10.

Best breakfast
