    Yes. Upstairs restaurant. Excellent buffet breakfast, if pricey.

    The food court is pretty poor. The rashers are like cardboard and youd need to take out a mortgage to eat anything more than toast.
    If you go upto the raddison blue hotel youll get a fine feed. Its €10 but you can fill up with whatever you want from cereal, full fry, fruit, rolls and yogurts. Theres also a selection of pastries and it comes with tea or coffee and fruit juices.
    Its about 2/3 minute walk from the terminal. As you come out the terminal door walk up the steps thru the hill and head right thru the taxi car park and your there.

    The food at the airport is pretty bad.

    Charged by the sausage/rasher/pudding. . .

    Offhand, the Claypot cafe being a few minutes walk from the Airport is grand for food, but I'm unsure if they do full breakfasts.

    Thanks for the replies. The buffet will do us. It's probably similar to the one in Shannon. Couldn't be bothered trying to find someplace outside of the airport. Is that buffet place before or after the security check?

    The hotel s a 3 min walk from the terminal and the claypot cafe is about the same distance. Better food and much cheaper.

    In the business park near the international airport hotel.

    You can see the building its in from the terminal. If you come out of the terminal you will see steps up thru the grassy hill. Go up there and cross the road, go thru the carpark in front of you and its just there.

    The breakfast in the airport is pretty terrible...I got one before I left last time as I knew I'd be away from home for a while, despite that, I would have rather not gotten it...the one you can get on the plane is almost better, and that's very still sub-par!

    Just resurrecting this post - looking for a decent breakfast in or near Cork airport that's open on Sundays.

    Thanks!

    Are you driving? If so, swing by Willie O'Briens new Amber gas-station at the Bandon Road Roundabout, just beyond Dunnes on the Bandon side. Excellent full Irish for a fiver, last time I checked.
