Best breakfast under 10 euro in City Centre

Myself and a friend are trying the last few weeks to find the best breakfast near the city centre. Now it's pretty much a given that the best breakfast in Dublin is in Kennedy's of Fairview (Fancy sausages, rashers, pudding, eggs, choice of bread, choice of how your eggs done, gourmet coffee, all for reasonable price.)
We work near the city centre so Kennedys is out, but we've been hunting up n down Wexford street, Dame Street, South William, Henry Street.

So far we've been dissapointed by the place just up from The International Bar (Place that has the toilets downstairs just as you come in).
Today we had an improvement but it was still cheap sausages, deli counter streaky rashers, no pudding, bread was decent, good coffee. That was in the place in Temple Bar with the West Coast Coffee sign advertising "Gourmet breakfast 6.95". Don't know how it can be called Gourmet when the Sausages were only slightly better than those God damn all pervasive cheapest of the cheap Dublin Breakfast cafe sausages.
Next on our list is Lemon Jelly over near the Italian Quarter near the Quays.
Any reports on Lemon Jelly before we try it?

Does anyone know anywhere that serves:
Good sausages (Not those country-wide cheap Breakfast Cafe things)
Good rashers
Good pudding
Decent toast or bread.

What must tourists think trying to eat breakfast in Dublin? They must have to stick to muffins and pastries.

Nothing worse than "fancy sausages", when they put herbs and garlic or something in them.
Matt the Rashers on sundrive.
Or the Breakfast Special in Cafe Java, not a fry, but fantastic

Matt the Rashers will replace the liver and give you something else instead if you get the famous breakfast now!
And it always has cute chicks working there

Only place off the top of my head is McD's for pancakes. Pancakes and syrup, or pancakes and a sausage burger

fancy sausages

I'll qualify about fancy sausages, what I meant it's what you would consider high quality when looking in a good butchers or supermarket. I don't mean they're filled with Coriander n Sea Scallop essence.

The places recommend so far are the sausages good, because most places we've looked you see the usual ones on peoples plates n we just look elswhere.
N the large breakfast thread that was elsewhere on boards proved useless (Restaurant Royale was in their ffs), n everyone was obsessed with plates jammed with beans, n chips, n god knows what.

Keogh's on Trinity St have a good breakfast, they have this brunch with very skinny fries. Their scones are amazing, obv.

Once went to an Italian chipper next to Spar on Marlborough St, might be called Cinelli's, tasty and inclusive Italian chipper chips. Down the street, there's a place called Maxi or something, yellow sign. Gorgeous breakfast in there but bizarrely not open til 9, might actually be closed.

Might be a bit out there but I wandered into Kavanagh's on Dorset St on a Sunday afternoon a few weeks ago and got their all-day breakfast. Beyond the lack of standard tea and the fact that everyone around me was either eating a carvery or just drunk, I couldn't fault it. They make it fresh and everything tasted a bit better than normal.

Btw, Kylemore in Stephen's Green has its moments. I honestly think it depends on who's cooking it!

I'd have to say that I do like the Kylemore (St Stephen's Green) breakfasts!

Slightly OT but is Kennedys in Fairview the one just before the end of Fairview Strand before you turn on to the Malahide Road?(Next door to Toolans the bookies?)

Maxi the best in the city centre that I have been to....

the ones in Matt the Rashers are award winning! they're small but they give you 3. and if you don't want the liver you can get an extra 3 instead. It's out of town though!
For pancakes you could try Lemon. There's one on the bottom of dawson street and the bottom of william street south. Never actually had them, but their french toast is savage.

When I lived in the city centre a few years back I used a cafe next to the fruit market,I think it was called Kevins.

You'd get the full works on the plate,It was frequented by the market workers and if its still open is worth a visit.

next place

Thanks for replies guys. I couldn't find Brendans of Smithfield today (where is that?)

However we discovered Wolfes of Capel Street. It's about ten doors down from the Quays side of Capel Street near that Party Cake bakery.
They seem to have wine, n dinners, n pastries but we seenthe breakfast advertised Two Sausage, two rasher, toast, mushrooms n eggs for 7.50.
I'll let ye know what it's like. Reckon they'll have to serve up good food given the other stuff they are trying to sell in there. If that's good it could prove popular for others nearby.
