Best Breakfast in cork?

shnaek

Where's the place for the best fry up in Cork? Been to Clancys which was fine. Had one in Zaks too and that was grand. Any other spots to be recommended?

Shanannigan

Tony's Bistro, i dunno if Kafka's is still open, but if it is, its not a bad spot for brekkie

Smileylynz

The Up Town Grill on MCurtain St, does a great breakfast!

rymus

What's the name of that place on Marlboro St? They do a breakfast to kill for. Used to be a bad Italian place I think.

Best spot for a full irish (and get a potato cake on teh side) is Nash 19's on prince's st. spensive but savage

PowerHouseDan

Silverkey has a breakfast there on saturday morning.. SAVAGE!!!

judybaby

Oh Nash's 19 everytime ....yummmmmmy...want it now!:D

Blitzkrieger

I had breakfast in the Captain's Table one morning on my way to the pub. Lovely.

Femelade

yeah i love nash 19 for brekkie, or tony's bistro for a right proper hangover fry up. Also, Liberty Grill on washington street do lovely breakfast..lovely breads and poached eggs..yum.

JaneHudson

Riordan's in Washington street is pretty good for breakfast. And Tony's.

Dudess

Nash 19 brekkie - heaven!

parsi

Puccinos in Douglas Village shopping centre do fine breakfasts as well.

agree silver quay is a class place for breakie but my all time fav is strasbourg goose on french church st. mini there is like a full every where else and they give you chips if you want em. also always come out with seconds of tea, toast, coffee etc. staff really friendly and food top notch

Fysh

I've heard a couple of duff reviews from the strasbourg before but that was folks in for the sunday lunch. Only place in town I'd go for a fry up is Tony's, I swear their fryups could bring a man back from the dead

strasbourg goose is dodge for service for evening meals.

nash 19 beats tony's, but tony's is a bit more affordable...

numorouno

havent been in the goose for any other meal bar breakfast so i cant comment but the breakfast imo is fantastic and i go there at least 4 or 5 times a month on various weekdays and weekends.anyhoo that my 2cents

The Three Steps Cafe, Bondi Road, Sydney, NSW.

As close a good breakfast you'll get to Cork.

As for the 'Big Boy'.

With all the recommendations for Nash 19 I went in yesterday. My god the staff are so nice. Food was excellent too. I was too unhungry to appreciate the big **** off breakfast with potato cake

probably be quicker gettin there than getting through the kinsale rd roundabout some mornings!

Gingerbread House!!

Not sure about weekdays - but I love the Bodega for Brunch at the weekends. Their menu is scrummy - try the blueberry pancakes - too die for - especially after you've had their brunch special - but you have to be hungry going in there. J

scoozis do chocolate waffels for breakfast.... lush. they also do some sort fruit and youghurt and waffels for those who are better behaved.

Cochise

Kafka's - all im gonna say

DamienH

Tony's.... gotta love the grease

Big Tone

For me its gotta be Hayfield Manor for the best full Irish breakfast not just in Cork but possibly the world.

foxyboxer

Wildways on prince's street next door to Nash's
lovely organic porridge and omelettes, muffins etc.
pricey but F€ckin delish! a lot more friendly than Nash 19's staff!

Tree

gosh, i didnt think you can get much friendlier at that hour of the morning

Let's get this thread going again.

We're always looking for somewhere to go for a good hangover-curing fry on Saturday and Sunday mornings around the city centre and always end up in the same place - Puccino's in Rory Gallagher Square.

We've been to Tony's a good few times but there sausages and fairly poor.

Anyone got any suggestions. other than those two?

Faith

I can never decide between Tony's and Puccino's. I love the way Tony's have chips and onion rings, but overall I prefer the food in Puccino's.

They're the only places I ever really go.

Liberty Grill - eggs Benedict and a decent coffee. Magic.

Well Puccino's is about €9.95 but it's a decent feed. I don't mind paying a tenner for a good quality brekkie. I don't just mean big, but quality too. Tony's Bistro's sausages are pants!

Yep
The breakfast in Tony's could and should be an awful lot better given the reputation it has. I've had some very decent main meals in there though, they do a lovely stew.

If you find yourself out B'collig way, Dino's do a good breakfast, fairly cheap too. And quiet, it's around the back of the s/c.

fattestman

Dino's as in the chippers?

Oafley Jones

Thought the eggs benedict in the Liberty grill was very poor last time I was there. Eggs benedicts really should be served with toasted muffins and is best with parma ham. Overall I find LG overpriced with small portions.

Puccinos is great for soakage, not the best quality stuff but you get decent value.

Hardwood on Popes quay is over priced but the food is excellent quality - although they tend to overdo the Eggs in the Benedict/Florentine. Rumour has it it closing down soon enough. A shame, but they were pulling the piss by charging an extra 1.50 for an extra slice of toast.

Electric on weekends had a buffet for 15.00 where you could take what you wanted from the cold table and then have a hot dish after. You could really fla this if you wanted e.g. loading up on muesli, pastries, cheeses smoked salmon all the juice you wanted and then have a beautiful fry or pancakes afterwards. And fla it people did because their prices are now more like everywhere else. It's a good move because you'd want to be starving going in, or else you'd feel like a complete glutton.

Actually, Sober Lane do a full breakfast + a beer + a Berocca for €10 on Saturday and Sunday's from 12-4. Haven't tried it, but it's good value!

I said the same thing when somone suggested just before Xmas. I've never been down there when they'd be serving chips (which in B'Collig could be from 10 in the morning ) but yes, I think it's the same place

They also do breakfast in their Bishopstown and Blackpool chippers I've yet to sample them.

Faith

With all this talk, I think I'm going to go to Puccino's tomorrow - despite my lack of hangover.

rabboni

where's the best scrambled eggs in cork??

liberty grill does them poorly.and so does the clarion hotel! best so far was the airport hotel.for me anyway.

ABajaninCork

Kafka's in Blackpool is da bomb! Can never finish a full Irish in there...

Or Food Capers on Thomas Davis St - their breakfasts are wicked too!:D

dazzlermac
