    Just wondering where the best value full breakfast is in these economically tough times?

    Good coffee (with free refills) would be a good start.

    Target is €6 all in btw. Is this hopelessly optimistic?

    p.s. I was in the UK recently, and STG£3 would get you a full breakfast in a choice of places.

    Its 11 euros for the full breakfast in the Mill in O'Briens Bridge. Daylight robbery for a fry up

    That's nuts.

    Jaffas in Henry Street isn't bad. About €6.50 for a small Irish but no free refills. Going to try the Yellow Lemon today.

    p.s. The Wild Onion is off the list unfortunately. Had a bad expereience there.

    I don't think so. http://www.jdwetherspoon.co.uk/resource/documents/food-and-drink/breakfast.pdf


    It's still good value. Way better than here.

    Yellow Lemon (across the road from the Round House on High Street) did a decent mini breakfast, with toast and coffee for €5.50.

    Refill was another €2.20 however.

    There's place on Broad Street beside Portleys that is supposed to be very very good for breakfast, but I haven't been there myself. It's not fancy by any means (from the outside) but has been highly reccomended.

    Its laughable how much breakfast food costs here, what I wouldnt give for proper, American style diners to be here, with cheap decent breakfast food, free refills on everything

    I seem to recall that the Old Quarter pub does a good cheap breakfast. Also the place opposite tesco in Roxboro does a good breakfast I believe.

    Red Rose Cafe up by the bus station is imho the best breakfast in Limerick with the Wild Onion second

    Mortell's clocks in at around €7.50, I could have sworn I paid nearly a tenner in O'Connor's Cafe, as coffee wasn't included :(

    i had breakfast in dolans around 12.30pm on sat and it was €6.50 for a full irish - tea, toast, beans, rashers, sausages, puddin, egg, chips. must say i was quite impressed. we werent waiting more than 4 or 5 minutes for it either. a 'fuller irish' which is just more of everything plus tomoatoe and mushrooms was €7.50, great value if you ask me. dont know about coffee as i dont drink it.

    ate in the red rose there a few months back and thought it was vile. not too clean in there and bit of a stink. was disappointed as i had heard great things about it!

    Mc Donads do an excellent breakfast an it doesn't cost the earth. :p

    Depending on staff, they even offer you free coffee refills. :)

    They are based on O'Connell St.

    Supermacs and McDonalds aren't attractive places to go though, and the food is plastic.

    I'd prefer go elsewhere tbh.

    The place looks like a complete dump. I'd never dream of going in there.

    You'd be wrong actually. A fast food joint just isn't attractive.

    bit of a treck out, but the coffee pot in Killaloe do a great breakfast. Think its 8.50 euro for the full fry, coffee, toast and orange juice. No free re-fills of coffee but you can pretty much eat as much toast as you want :pac:
