Yes, the does indeed look like a nice fry up, but why oh why is there a tub
of low low lurking in the background? :eek:

Yeah, are you on a ...... diet...... <shudders> or something?

Went to Harrys in Dun Laoghaire on Sunday. Good value. Sausages a bit thin, but the tomato relish on the side was yum. Recommended.

This thread has me craving a fry-up like nothing else.

I had my fry up this morning. Not a traditional one. Two burgers (fresh from the butchers), eight sausages, and a packet of rashers. Two fried tomatoes and loads of brown sauce with loads of toast. If I didn't have it this morning I would be having one when I got home after reading this thread.

Someone needs to start posting all-day breakfast places :eek:

Seconded. I came on to post that you beat me to it. Thats my breakfast haunt the odd day i go to work. Best damn fryup money can buy.

And if you are feeling healthy their scrambled eggs are to die for.

Ah the ma does get it.

And agreed on the Lovin Spoonful. Top nosh.

Café Solo in killiney, Jumbo breakfast and a nice black coffee, sorts the hangover right out.

My suggestion would be to have to scoops on the friday night, head to the MANHATTAN on saturday morning about 3 am for the fry (fecking smashing stuff, the prebuttered toast is exceptional) and then get a few hours kip and hit the barge for a large bottle of clonmel chardoney about 10.30 and go from there. At that stage you have the dinner in and can have a good run at the drinking day.

Now that's a Great weekend

Is Manhattan that pub near Portabello that opens up after clubs close and do breakfasts? You get a great feed in there alright. I couldn't believe it the first time I was introduced. Its like a secret society or something. People go mad when others find out about it!

There's an italian chipper on the corner of marlborogh street and earl street(almost facing the pro cathedral) that do a great all day breakfast,made to orde,sausages,eggs,bacon,pudding,tea and toast..less than a fiver if i recall.If your in teh finglas neck of the woods there's a cafe beside mason estates in the village that does three sizes of all day breakfasts from 6 to 8 euro and a smashing mixed grill for less than a tenner.

Under the bridge in the village? I forget where Mason estates is.

Actually I know where you mean, I used to get a fry there every day on my break. I thought you said chipper not cafe. Yeah, its lovely in there alright.

If you want to venture up towards the shopping centre on cardiffsbridge road,there's an excellent cafe beside dunnes.Its "mini" breakfast would feed you for the day!

Really out of the way, but in Dunshaughlin in meath, Fidelma's, the best fry EVER. i mean, people travel FROM dublin for their breakfeast. hmmmm i would love one right now...

I'll second that. Its massive. The large one is basically a plate of egg, rashers and sausages and extra plates for everything else, mushrooms, beans, chips. All the coffe/toast/bread you want- €8.50.
The small fry is enough for most people.
Very tasty.

Feckin hell!What say we hire a minibus and organise a BGRH day out,stop off there for breakfast then head from pub to pub till we're all barred?

Out there for breakfast, then back to Spurs later on for the steak challenge for dinner.

A+ place. Many a time have I got a breckfast roll from there too.


I think I may drop in to Gerrys again today.

Used to work around the corner from Gerry's, top quality place. He used to do huge business in take away toasted rasher and sausage sambos from us around Christmas when everyone was out every night and dying the next day. Always thought it was funny seeing the place full of guys down from Harcourt Street station with their black briefcases. Don't know if it's true but the story was that they were from the Special Task Force or something, and the cases contained their Uzis.

the sofia. oppsite the cornerstone pub on wexford st.

Brams in Just off the Fairview end of the Malahide Road.
Lets Eat on the Northstrand is a good one, bit on the healthy side though.
All the greasy spoons around the market behind the Four Courts, they close early on a Saturday though.

The best ever though has to be the Bill Board Cafe, don't know if its still here, haven't been on Camden Street in years.

Thanks for all the recommendations playas. Lots of ideas for future events.

We went with Del Rios on the Saturday..... 8/10

Then Brendan's in Smithfield on the Monday - 9/10 (would've given it 10/10 but they forgot my milk. The fry was the stuff of the gods!)

nlgbbbblth

Went to Del Rios last Wednesday as I was in Dublin for a meeting.

Had the big one.

8/10.

Rashers and white pudding were great. Sausages and eggs very good.

Didn't like the mushrooms though.

Just saw this little blog entry on a site when I was looking for good breakfast places in ranelagh.

The big breakfast in JFK industrial estate. 2 sausys, 2 rashers, 2 eggs, tons of white pudding (nicest I've ever had that pudding)beans, mushrooms and fried spuds, toast and tea.I always leave stuffed, it's about 8 quid. I had a breakfast in woodstock in phibsborough today, tasted nice, but there was blank spots on the plate where it hadn't been filled enough, a big let down.

Galadriel

Just back from The Breakfast Club in Ranelagh, I'd give it 6/10, you get
'pudding' with the big breakfast, this turns out to be one piece of white and
no black!! Any one got any other good places to visit around the Ranelagh/Rathmines area?

yabadabado

del rio's is a top spot but it dont open till ten thats its only downside.gerry's on montague lane beside the casino is great and cafe sofia on wexford st is also a good spot.manhatten is a great spot if only they opened in the morning think they wud do a great trade

admiralofthefleet

got a breakfast roll in supervalu in deansgrange on friday morning that was one of the nicest and most filled of any i have tried, but the news cafe in blackrock is still my number one

I have a mate returning to Dublin for a weekend soon enough. We have a tradition where a group of us go out in the afternoon for a fry followed by booze & bookie's. We have tried various places for fries - a few places in Ranelagh, Howth, Malahide, but we haven't found the "excalibur" of fries yet. Can ye recommend any places that serve a fry that is a cut above the rest, and open of a Saturday?

Howth,Malahide, sigh, you sir are a complete amatuer.

Everyone knows in order for a decent fry the place has to meet certain guidelines first.

1. It must be a greasy dirty kip

2. If there's no builders in it, the breakfast probably isn't great.

3. they must use real mugs, it helps if they're filthy.

4. If you see someone cleaning a table, just walk

You're not going to find these fine establishments inthe likes of malahide/donnybrook etc.

But if you must search in a toffee area but don't want to eat with toff's you could try down the side of the 108 pub in Rathgar.

it's right after the pub when you open the door it's like walking into someone's kitchen.

I can't remember there ever been a name outside but you'll smell it.

Galadriel

Del Rio's! couldn't remember the name; have to say I have searched high and low for 'the' best fryup and Del Rio's wins everytime, the best bacon, egg and chips anywhere, they also do a 'mixed grill' if you are verrrrrry hungry; eggs x 2, sausages x 2, rashers x 2, beans, pudding, chips, bread and butter, pork chops x 2, mushrooms, and of course a big mug of tea!

Yep, told ya so. I neglected to mention the mixed grill as i thought this was a b/fast thread only.

I think the place on Parnell Street that has been mentioned, is called The Kingfisher. It's on the left hand side just before you reach Parnell Square, coming from the Capel Street direction.

I've only been there once. I had fish and chips. I often pass by it though, and the fry ups look deeeeeadly!

Their frys are quality. Also do the best fish (chips aren't great) of any chipper i've ever set foot in. Del Rios chips have to be eaten to be believed.

Pighead -

Pigheads checked this thread 3 times now and I'm absolutely flabbergasted that The Loving Spoon up by Dorset St. hasn't been mentioned yet. The best fry I have ever and am likely to ever taste. Pure Fry Nirvana

.

Believe it or not, I pass this place everyday, and have never set foot in it. As my brethren may have gathered, i work within 10 minutes of here, the kingfisher, del rio's, fusciardi's and a couple of places that don't warrant a mention. Based on Pigheads and others' posts here, i shall partake of a Luvinspoon (told ya i knew the place) breakfast and report back here post-haste

zaph –

Fusciardis? Great chipper that.

Used to think that myself. Til i caught your man with the hairy knuckles re-heating a bag of chips that had been refused because he put vinegar on them for a customer that didn't want it. He literally threw them back in the oil for minute, then took them out and served them to my mate (who he didn't know was with me). When i pointed this out, he point blank refused to acknowledge it, and i told my mate to taste one. He did. Taste of vinegar offthe chips. Cue me, my mate and the rest of the cue walking out on him. I'll never set foot in there again. You don't fuck with a man's food.

If you insist on going in there, the mixed fish box is your only man. Like a snack box, but with 6 mini pieces of fish.

Again, told ya. I'd be interested to know why you both docked it 2 points. I'd agree that the mushrooms aren't 100%, but that would make it a 9/10 in my book.

Zaph

Interesting about Fusciardis, Brother $hifty. I've never actually gotten a takeaway from there, if I go there it's always to eat in. Harder for them to mess with your food if your sitting 10 feet away from them.

Thanks to a good mate of mine (known in the business as King Chub), I have now discovered the "Fry of the Gods". It is to be found in Brendan's cafe in Smithfield.....been there thrice in the last four weeks....10/10 each time. Flawless....but opening hours are stiff.

How do you get to it from the Luas stop?

What are the opening hours?

RVD420

Go directly to the fruit market in Smithfield - it's right opposite. Opens very early (5am) and closes around 2. Open Monday - Saturday (7am opening on Saturday).

:eek: It was my site that was linked to from mad craic, It lists every place I've had an irish breakfast with a photo and a review.

www.rashersAndEggs.com

I'd really appreciate any reviews people can send me. I've put on 45 stone since I started!
Just slip out your phone and take a photo of the fry. Write a few lines review and send it to the email address listed on the front page -

Happy eating!

I'm sorry to say that one of my all time fave greasy fry-up palace has now closed - the one down the side of the 108 pub in Ranelagh - think it's called the Coffee House, or similar.

They're in the process of closing down <sniff> a sad loss to us all.

andymad

That used to be a nice ranelagh breakfast alright. At the moment the best in ranelagh is hobarts I think.

http://www.rashersandeggs.com - see May 10th and May 1st reviews of Hobarts.

If you call in be sure to send me a reivew for rashers and eggs!

Was in Del Rios recently. Found it terrible. Would not go back. No black pudding, and rubbery mushrooms! Never heard of the 108 in Ranelagh. There is a pub called the 108 in Rathgar. Where was the 108 in Ranelagh!

Yeah I like the Hungry Monkey myself. Those thin cut chips go really nice with the beans.

I don't even like fry ups much (sacreligous?), but right now, this thread has me wanting one.
