Best fry in Dublin (Saturday)?

dr strangelove · 06-10-2007 12:21pm

Just found out that the Coffee House in Rathgar (down the back of the 108) is open again! YAY!

It's run by three mental Italian guys, and the fry is fantastic.

the Jumbo is e10.90 - 2 rashers, 2 sausages, 2 eggs, mushrooms, one black, one white pudding (and big puddings too, about as big around as a can of beer) beans (Heinz), hash brown, fried tomato, with big mug of proper coffee, toast (and loads of butter) and OJ.
Additions are e1 each

If you're lucky, they'll give you a Sardinian donut, which is like a real donut, but with lemon zest in it....... or something, it's deep fried and covered in sugar - do you really care what's in it?

Still miss the mammies that ran the Coffee shop before, but the Italian guys
are funny and definetly brighten up a hungover morning.

Thanks for the Matt The Rashers recommendations! Went there on sunday morning, got the famous breakfast, 9/10.
For €8.50 you get 3 rashers, 3 sausages, decent pile of beans, decent pile of mushrooms, 2 perfectly cooked eggs (not crusty, i hate those crusty fried eggs) half a tomato, hash brown, liver, toast and tea. It's one of those big oval plates just full of food. Would have got 10/10, but the tea tasted a bit weird. But the food was all done perfectly, great quality sausages and rashers. Even the waitresses were good looking!
Place was jammed at 12:30pm, and millions of people coming in and getting breakfast rolls to take away which is a good sign. Great service even though it was mad busy, they're used to loads of customers which is a good sign.

Cafe Java (few around town, Blackrock, Leeson Street etc) do a great breakfast too. Not the traditional one, but their breakfast special is great. It's (from the bottom up)3 slices of McCambridge's brown bread toasted, ballymaloe, crispy streaky rashers, 2 poached eggs with caramelised onions on top. Simple, but great. Nice tea too.

BunnyKelly -

Will you send that in as a review to me at www.rashersAndEggs.com ?

Looks great!

I did a review of cafe java. It was good, but not great. best one so far in Blackrock was the overpriced one upstairs in the superquinn centre. Worth every overprices cent. yummsies!

Update on that one upstairs in superquinn - it no longer does the all day breakfast. Nor does the Goat pub, or the otrher cafe downstairs in superquinn centre in balckrock

(Yes, I spent my Saturday travelling all round Dublin looking for a review for rashersandeggs.com and ended up eating a burger :mad: )

Randomswinger · 07-01-2008 2:36pm

I used to hit Matt the Rasher a fair bit until Pickles opened across the road beside the puncture repair place

Breakfast on a saturday is savage - full irish or eggs benedickt or eggs florentine waffles and pancakes are even available sometimes. A bit slower then Matt's as its cooked to order but well worth the wait

there is no places anymore that do frys to the degree of decency...

every place have pre-cooked cr*p subsequentially re-heated in a microwave.

I was amazed in 'Woodstock' in Phibsboro a guy ordering fry components to then be stuck in the queue so long to pay that he, himself, said to the check-out girl to bung it in the microwave for a few seconds! He was some pro!

Sorry...

The nearest thing i got to a good fry was out in Maynooth, which is Kildare i suppose, forget the name of the place but it's near the Uni with a red facade.

Thats the Rye. I prefer the Twist in Maynooth for a fry though. You get more eggs. Hmmmm....... Sausages are nicer in the rye though and you get nice brown bread.

Lux23 · 09-01-2008 1:30pm

Theres a little tiny cafe near where I live on James Street, its a really greasy place but you get a lovely fry for 8 quid or so. Its called the Royal Kitchen which I think is funny.

Dyr · 10-01-2008 5:33pm

Can anyone think of a dacent fry on baggot street, nassua street or thereabouts? Once a week i always wind up walking into town in between the time the pubs stop serving lunches and before they start doing dinners. And a fecking panini aint doing the job if ye get me:o

HashSlinging · 10-01-2008 8:37pm

Gerrys on montague St, (spell) just off harcourt st, does the best fryups full stop. Won a few awards also.

stepbar · 10-01-2008 8:46pm

It has to be Sheries on Middle Abbey Street.

HashSlinging · 11-01-2008 12:21pm

Thats right, great value and the guys are a friendly bunch. Have been going there for a couple of years.

Spread · 16-02-2008 4:13am

Pickles in Sundrive for a tasty Parma ham on delicious brown toast. And a decent cuppa.:)

So many things wrong with that statement, for one I can't imagine Pickles been the name above the door of a place that does quality fries. Next parma ham :mad: ffs bacon might have saved this but parma ham, christ I have images of metro's in pink shirts eating their delicious parma ham on brown toast.

Spread · 16-02-2008 2:36pm

Suffice it to say that PICKLES appears in the bible twice ...... and now in boards.ie! The fact that it is also a deli may have something to do with it. I'll ask today and post.

Fajitas! · 16-02-2008 2:52pm

I'm dissappointed in this thread. Very very much so.

None of you have been to Violets? Noone?

On Dorset Street, towards the Drumcondra end. I save it for my "mother of god" hangovers, it's a divine experience. You should all be ashamed of yourselves.

Truth be told though, I've never been able to order the big big fry up... From what I remember, it's a burger with bun, pork chops, sausages, beans, mushrooms, rashers, puddings, chips and toast. Oh, and tea or coffee. Though with a meal like that, it has to be tea.

Don't go near the place if there's a match in Croke park though...

Dyr · 16-02-2008 3:40pm

I was in there a few years back, generous helpings but a bit too generous with the ould grease too.

Dyr · 16-02-2008 4:09pm

i think its down beside what used to be the gas showhouse place (apartments now) beside the NCR intersection. its a purpley colour place i think

Fajitas! · 18-02-2008 1:48am

Yep, that's it, before the Big Tree if you're coming out of town.

Well worth it

Mr. Incognito · 19-02-2008 1:19pm

Cafe Sofia on Wexford Street. It does cracking food including a proper fry with chips for about €7. It's my Sunday ritual haunt with a hangover.

Brams in Marino Mart,D3 is excellent

Swampy · 20-02-2008 3:43pm

The Hungry Monkey in Mulhuddart.

Savage.

humberklog · 20-02-2008 7:45pm

Indeed brahms in marino is good and clean. But matt the rasher near kcr i think does liver and chops too.

truecrippler · 20-02-2008 10:06pm

Down in me nannies gaff every morning before I go to college. Aren't Grandmothers just the best at cooking? She uses proper fat to make it mmmmm. The toast with it too is immense. Nice cup of cha too. Gonna have one tomorrow, I don't care what it does to me insides cos they're delicious. Then off to the pub at about 11 o clock for 2 scoops. mmmmmm.

Anyways, can anyone recommend me a place in Dun Laoghaire that do good fry ups?

Feckin starvin now.

admiralofthefleet · 20-02-2008 11:08pm

the gigs place at portobello bridge has improved immensely, their breakfast is very good. they only open at 12 am to around 7 am

podgeandrodge · 24-04-2008 5:34pm

ahh the gigs place - grand food there after a heap of pints!

Sausages - can someone tell me if anywhere in Dublin serves brekkies that have sausages that aren't those generic ones that seem to crop up in every bloody breakfast I have - ya know the ones that are perfectly oval and nearly squirt grease when you cut them - or is it that they are all just deep fried?

Jimmy Bottlehead · 27-04-2008 12:44pm

Gents, is there anywhere near Santry? Drumcondra, Swords, or anywhere that direction to get a great fry-up? Although not a brother, I require your wisdom

Fajitas! · 30-04-2008 8:39am

I forgot about this thread.

Right, James St, The Royal Pantry.

8 quid, for your fryup, and the food is hanging off the (large) plate... The place proper old school, and tiny... Gets rid of any hangover though.

LoanShark · 16-06-2008 12:37am

I'll cook you a fry-up..
The Full Heart Attack..
I'll even include a free go on the de-fib afterwards (bro a papmedic can borrow one for an hour)

Loopy · 18-06-2008 8:10pm

What about the worst fry? Cafe Kylemore was always horrible in general.

chopperbyrne · 27-06-2008 9:40am

There's a tiny little café on O'Connel St beside the cinema that does a lovely fry.

sure sure · 29-06-2008 2:36am

12th Lock Bar , Dublin 15. 11 quid, but well worth it ..... good pints too!!!:)

bringitdown · 29-06-2008 8:15pm

Bean Scene on Haddington Row have an amazing Power Breakfast.

2 egg, 2 sausage, 2 rasher, beans, mushrooms, tomato, hash brown, a fair chunk of black and white pudding, 4 toast.

All top quality non generic ingredients perfect hangover material. The only place I eat a fry in Dublin.

Mini breakfast available for smaller eaters, great coffee too.
