Credit where its due... (full Irish Breakfast)

arybvtcw0eolkf

Ok we whing, bitch and moan about bad service often enough!.

Here's a positive, I had to do this.

I'd a full Irish breakfast in Bruxelles this morning, and boy oh boy it blew me away!.. Jeeze I haven't had anything so good anywhere.. And I had a lovely American waitress serve me too (sorry I'd no change for a tip, you deserved one).

Anyway anyone looking for a good scram in this area would be mad not to go in.

Only negative is they charged €2:99 for one additional coffee, but the full Irish at €9:99 (including one tea or coffee) was fantastic

The €2:99 for the second coffee done her out of a tip!.

I do actually begrudge paying for a second when I'm paying a tenner for brekkie ~ although it was fab, but still!.

I'd have thought a tenner was pretty reasonable for what you had. Sounds delish'. I vaguely remember when that hole Cafe Kylemore on O'Connell Street used to do a decent breakfast, but then, gradually, the portions got smaller and smaller and smaller.

Were the rashers good?

Did you ram everything between two slices of bread, or eat it off the plate?

And more importantly, what was the ketchup like? Sometimes you get that awful watery stuff, but sometimes it can be proper Heinz stuff.

If you're paying for quality then a tenner is grand

But if you're getting cheapest of the cheap hardly any meat at all sausages and there is Kandee ketchup on your table then you've a cheapskate owner, won't be returning

hefferboi

Sound for making me hungry

Anywhere else round dublin 2 that do a decent nosebag for less than a tenner?

Lunch! on Lombard street used to do a decent fry for under a tenner, been a while though

Viola on Baggot Street is v good - about a tenner

Noshington on SCR opposite Griffith College is nice - about a tenner also, but tea/coffee not included

Cafe Sofia on Wexford St is excellent - 6-7 for a huge plate of stuff, plenty of options, pot of tea included, no charge for a refill

Dyr

Not a sit down but there's a little newsagents called o'donohues that's just past the Lombard on Pearse street. They do a very respectable breakfast roll for just over three aero's

I like kandee sauces. They rock IMO.

We need a proper breakfast thread. Almost every month we have a thread asking for recomendations.

Post up pictures, price, location and level of service details and have the thread stickied.

I may start this tommorow (if its ok we the mods) when I go for my weekly fry-up.

What, like reheated fried eggs? I'm confused.

Thanks for the recommendation dude. I happened to find myself in the city centre with a hangover at lunchtime today and dropped into Bruxelles. What an all day brekkie! Would definitely head back there, had to wait a bit for a table but it was lunchtime.

Degsy

Photos are a great idea.

Does the porterhouse still do the All Day Breakfast? It used to be served in a frying pan iirc.

nbar12

if you're up in Belfast, head up to Maggie Mays near Botanic! Full Irish breakfast for £4(could even be cheaper). It's an absolute bargain and plate full of goodness!

that's great to hear! It's been bugging me how poor "full Irish" breakies are in general in Dublin.

Degsy

Two cafes i would reccomend too...there's a place in Marrowbone lane beside the community centre does a huge breakfast for 7 quid and the cafe in finglas beside Superquin does an excellent fryup from 7.99-9.99 depending on how hungry you are.

They used to serve it in a frying pan but don't any more. Not sure if they still do the actual breakfast either!
