Have to agree on that one and apologize, bad habits...
A pub offering a good breakfast would be even better, always nice to have breakfast with a pint

Ikea food is tops - didnt know they did breakfast though? Never been there that early . . . .

Cafe Sofia on Wexford St is my favourite - freshly cooked and cheapest/best value i have ever seen

Viola on baggot st is v good also

Matt Bauer

Ikea do Irish breakfast every morning, but I think only until 11 or 12.

Would probably have Canal Bank Cafe in there too, and Bewleys isn't great.

Bewleys is awful. Used to be good years ago, but went far far downhill.

Sh'ite isn't it? I was really disappointed with it!

Anns Bakery on Henry St is pretty good. I'm a big fan of their prices!

The Hairy lemon do an all day breakfast, its great value and the service I have found to be great aswell and if you can fit it in their bread and butter pudding is the best I have had.

Hairy Lemon and great value do not go together, what is the price for the breakfast?

In or around the 10e mark which you would pay in most places for a full Irish and you get a lot more than you would in other places.

10 is too much.

Loads of places do a great fry for 7.95 and you can get coffee/tea with that.

Paid a visit to the Loving Spoonful during the week for breakfast. It was big, good and was served up in less than 2 minutes (which was quite confusing)....but it wasn't fantastic. Sausages were fairly low grade as was the pudding. Although the rashers were nice and meaty and there was plenty of beans and mushrooms.
Good atmosphere, relaxed and seemed to have a lot of regular customers. Would recommend it, but wouldn't go raving about it. Haven't been to the hairy lemon for brekkie in a good while, oh well, I guess I'll just have to pop in during the week :P

I got quite a decent small fry - 2 poached eggs, 2 sausages, toast & coffee in Pacino's on Suffolk Street for 5.95 last week.

There is nothing but Grease & Egg and salt more an idea about it all.The traditional Irish breakfast is more a fancy notion for tourists....the fare was much more modest years ago.

Montos Cafe Sundrive Road,is where I frequent mostly nowadays.
I used to go to Matt the Rashers a few doors down but Montos have clearly taken over for me,their food is way nicer.

Was looking for a decent fry myself recently. lovin spoon is near enough to me, though the place is tiny so i was put off it. might give it a go this weekend so

Kylemore in Liffey Valley, €9 with tea/coffee and jaysus I couldn't eat for the rest of the day, was stuffed:D

Gavin "shels"

Do most of these places open on Sundays? Shels are playing in the FAI Cup final on Sunday so I'll be in much need of a hangover cure which also doubles up as a nice fry for the day of drinking ahead! Looking for somewhere decent but reasonably priced around D'Olier St/Pearse St/O'Connell St/etc...

The Kingfisher on Parnell St (across from Jurys) is open as is Kylemore on O'Connell St. Stay away from the Lombard on Pearse St although good location for you but the Kingfisher serves a lovely breakfast. Despite a lot of people knocking the Kylemore, the breakfast there is nice.

Dyr

The odd fry that Ive had in the lombard was decent. Better than Kylemore anyway

There's a place right beside it called Lunch that does a nice fry or rasher sambos . Or you could go into the wee grocers shop next door (o'donovans or something), they do a top breakfast roll for pretty cheap. Dunno if they open on the weekend though

Millstone restaurant on Dame Street is the best I've ever come across. Everything is cooked to perfection.

I've thought over the years the standard of Tea went down ...or is it me?

Newscafe in Blackrock, never had better.

Brahms in Marino Mart, around the corner from Fairview

Del Rio's across from the Abbey Theatre. All day breakfast and the pudding is unreal....

One of my top spots.

did 'honest to goodness' ever open back up in georges arcade after it suffered a bad fire a few years ago (been a few years since I worked in town). that was my favourite by a long shot

timogen

For me it's the woodstock cafe in phibsborough,great value and good grub E7 for fry,toast and coffee haven't found anywhere better than it in dublin yet.

Yup. It's back open.

It did a bit. Joy of Cha on East Essex St. has the best selection of tea in town I think.

as mentioned previously Ikea does a damn fine breakfast from 10 -11 Mon- Sat and 11 - 12 on Sunday.
You can have a small 6 item breakfast for €1.95 -- yes that's right €1.95. That includes one sausage, one rasher, one hash brown, scrambled eggs, tomato and beans.
A regular breakfast is slightly heartier with nine items -- two sausages, two rashers, two hash browns, scrambled eggs, tomato and beans. All for €2.25 -- again you're reading it right €2.25. They also do a kids brekkie for 95 cent where you can pick three items.
The sausages are very tasty and the rashers are nice and meaty. The hash browns are lovely and crisp and the beans are fine too. Scrambled eggs are done well. The tomato, however, suffers from what a lot of cafs tend to do -- undercook it. A cooked tomato should be softer and not resemble something you'd put in a salad.
The other down side is if you're a fried egg fan -- you're out of luck here as they only offer scrambled.
Also, the breakfast is set you can't choose one sausage, two rashers, no beans etc... you have a choice of small or regular.
Still, it's the best value breakfast in the country - never mind Dublin.

Eddie Rockets do an amzing fry, I know frys and Eddie Rockets arent really two things youd put together but its a winner.

Paparazzo

Matt the Rashers is the best. Doesn't take long either, you'll have you're breakfast in front of you at most 5 minutes after you order.

Went to Monto's up from it twice because Matts was closed. Never again, it was poor food and the place was a dump.

I tried the re-opened Bewleys in Grafton Street for breakfast this week. What a disappointment! The whole place is now waitress-only service for €9-60 for their idea of "full Irish breakfast". This included a "farl" - a Northern Ireland thing, surely! - and very poorly chosen food generally. It was as if any old sausage, any old puddings would suffice. When they said "mushroom" thats what I got: a single mushroom! The very small cup of coffee was lukewarm and served first to ensure it was totally cold when the food arrived - an old cafe trick to force people to buy a second coffee. The poached egg was rock hard and the "toast" was not toasted - just slightly heated. The mediocre food on offer led me to assume this restaurant to be run by the Bewleys Hotel group but checking the website I found that this did not seem to be the case - the cafe seems to be owned by Bewleys who sell coffees and teas and thus presumably the successors of the original Bewleys Oriental Cafes.
The staff were nice enough but they couldn't do anything about the impossibly tiny round tables on which the food was placed in the upstairs section nor about these tables being crammed together so tightly that you could practically hear people in adjacent tables chewing and swallowing.
All in all, a very disappointing experience which I would not repeat.

I would recommend Kingfishers on Parnell Street. I have found the food to be very good and the service was excellent the last time i was there.

Have to agree with cafe sofia, they have a range of fries of different sizes you can choose from or if you want something particular they will oblige, staff are awesome and look after whatever you want, he's closed this week for christmas and have no idea what to do for brekkie in the morning

I still think The Kingfisher is very good, although I know another poster here didn't like it. Also Woodstock in Phibsboro, 3 items for about €5.50. It consistently has good food, at any time of the day.

I was just in Del Rios today, opposite the Abbey Theatre. It's good too.
