Not sure how much weight I'd put in any list that has Wetherspoons included in the pub grub section, though. Nice shout for Tara's Tea Rooms but beyond that... For me, if it's breakfast, I'm looking at (in no particular order!) The Parlour, the Bookshelf (Elysian or South Mall), Good Day Deli and Spitjack. Any other recommendations? Is Liberty Grill still as popular as ever? Always enjoyed my meals in there, just never thought it was worth the queue on a Saturday morning. Think it is better/has more variety for lunch and dinner too.

The table service was bad, had to take my order twice, and the toast, coffee, food was literally thrown across the table, no joke. The breakfast was a massive let down, overcooked egg, rasher and plate covered in mushroom juice. The place itself need a massive clean and a few Euro spent on it. My takeaway from it was I trust reviews on here more than the Evening Echo! In other news I see a lot of coffee recommendations in the last few pages, would these coffees be better than my current favorite Filter?

I had the potato rosti, which came with black pudding, a glossy fried egg, fried onion, rashers and a blob of tangy relish. The rosti was crispy, moist, and just as it should be. The accompaniments were all fab too. One of my friends had the pancakes with strawberries & cream, and the other had the half Irish breakfast. Both also found them to be excellent. They offered 3 different types of coffee bean, can't remember which I had off the top of my head but it was really good & gorgeously presented. The orange juice tasted freshly squeezed. They also had a selection of fresh sandwiches on the menu which I'll definitely be returning to sample. There was a counter display filled with dessert type goodies, again, the presentation was impeccable, I was almost drooling looking at it. My only regret was not getting one for takeaway! My only slight criticism was that you have to order at the counter - no table service. I found the staff to be friendly & polite despite being run off their feet, the place isn't long open & the queue was out the door. All in all I would highly recommend. Its now up there with Ali's Kitchen & The River Lee hotel as one of my favourite brunch spots.
