    Two excellent out of town cafes I recommend are

    Bram's Cafe, just around the corner from the BOI in Fairview / Marino

    Newscafe, just down the road from Blackrock Village heading towards Monkstown

    I've always liked the Lovin Spoon on Blessington or Frederick Street. I haven't been there in over a year but I've always enjoyed it. It was always filling and the price was good.

    I don't think it's too far out of the way for you, Degsy.

    Kennedys in Fairview, great breakfast and better than Brams imo, Gerry's on Montague Lane is also pretty good

    Nah, it's like a poncey version of a fry in there. Stick to the staple ingredients or do one. If you're on frederick street then Violets is just up the road, proper hardcore fry in there, although I haven been in years

    Reheated ****e and the picture of Thiery Henry on the wall would turn you off the food.

    38 posts and not a mention of Matt The Rashers on Sundrive. The benchmark of breakfasts for me.

    Agreed - superb food, cheap, and they always ask if you actually WANT the liver

    They must be sick of people saying they don't want the liver. Good that they give you something else for free instead!
    One of the best things is the speed. You sit down, your order will be taken in a minute, toast tea and orange juice in the next minute, and your full breakfast in about 5. Never waiting long there, which is great if you're hungover

    That's verry expensive Kung Fu I Phobsboro shopping centre is only €2.99
    .

    An extra 7 quid not to have to sit in the Phibsboro shopping centre sounds like a bargain to me.

    It's actually just the shopping centre is grotty. I'd expunged the other matter from my brain completely.

    Ah OK. It's been over a year since I was there and it may have changed since then. I don't remember any Thiery Henry either.

    I wouldn't eat there if I saw him.

    Tried Brunch in Junos today

    Full Irish Breakfast - 9.25

    Two sausage, two bacon, 2 poached egg, white pudding, black pudding, tomato mushroom, two slice of toast - no tea included

    Sausages were tiny and reheated
    Bacon was ok - too salty for my liking, but may well be perfect for others
    Poached eggs both rock solid in centre, so well well overdone in my book
    Tomato - small but v tasty
    Mushroom - v tasty
    Toast -cold coming out, but i like my toast like that -

    Major disappointment overall considering the good reviews I have read and heard
