    sorry, not in city centre (or city for that matter) but if you're ever passing through dunshaughlin, don't pass fidelma's on the main street without going in and helping yourself to a large breakfast. without a doubt the bestist, biggest, cheapest breakfast you'll ever have and the staff are always very friendly too.

    (not open sundays unfortunately :()

    Yesterday, we had to put up with a guy who was the double of 'Big Ron', the late-extra from Eastenders, who insisted on taking out a battery powered radio,

    OT but nice to see Big Ron get a mention. He used to be a regular in the bar I worked in, in Edgware Middlesex back in the eighties. Diamond geezer he wuz too mate..

    Back on topic "The Woodstock" at Doyles corner in Phibsboro does a good fry . Good frys are not that hard to find in Dublin tbh. Ye don't have to be Gordon Ramsay to cook rashers and sausages now do you..? :)

    In that case I'd definitely recommend The Woodstock Phibsboro, conveniently located in the shadow of Dalymount, home of the best football team in Dublin:D

    Seconded.

    Thought it opened at 5am. Maybe it used to back in the day - dunno.

    Many a Friday/Saturday night ended there. Sometimes continued afterwards in Slattery's...
    Yes, you're probably right (as the market opens at 5am). It's usually after 6 before I manage to get there.

    Work in the area myself, and am partial to some Woodstock grub! Having said that though, its generally best if you get in early in the mornings.

    Their downfall is that their food is all pre-cooked and left sitting in big metal trays on a buffet-style 'hot counter'. I much prefer ordering food and then having it cooked. Don't mind waiting 10 minutes if its gonna be that bit fresher & nicer!

    There's a place called 'Brew' in Glasnevin (Across the road from the MET Office) and they do nice food. I have only been there once or twice and unfortunatly they don't seem to open on weekends anymore!

    Sorry to go completely off topic, but did people come up to him and do his classic line as Mr.Knuckles from Five Go Mad in Dorset? - "blah...blah...blah...secret plans...blah...blah...blah...nuclear weapons"

    I'm talking about 1986 here..Eastenders was only on our TVs about a year so Ron was relatively unknown..he probably hadn't played Mr Knuckes at that stage. The pub was The White Lion on Burnt Oak Broadway, Edgware ...anyone know it ??

    Don't open anytime Stevie, it closed down about a month ago..best in that neck of the woods is the restauraunnt in the Bots, bit pricey at €10 but it's an oasis of tranquility in the hustle and bustle of the city. (look at me gettin all poetic)

    That place is terrible. Their student brekfast costs €6 and you get an tiny egg, about 4 chips, toast, two cocktail sausages, two rashers and maybe some beans.

    It's not worth the money at all.


    You're better off going to the canteen in DIT on Kevin St. The breakfast in there is delish, and it's not too expensive either.

    Plenty of food for thought here:)

    (As the person who started this, I am very grateful for the suggestions, and I can't wait for my February fry-up in Dublin. But please don't let my gratitude get in the way of a continued discussion of the best locations for this fix.:))

    Is that the one that is a couple of doors down from the corner of Wexford Street and is kitted out like some ol' dears living room? If it is the place I am thinking off the tucker there is business.

    Theres another place around the corner (not sure its still there) but used to be at the intersection of Wexford Street and Kevin Street. It was next door to a motorbike store as far as I can remember. They did a man sized fry up for a couple of quid back in the day.

    Is that the best answer you have to offer? Are you 14 or something? It doesn't really answer the original question. Where in your opinion is the best fry up in Dublin or do you prefer to go to McDonald's for breakfast?

    I know it years since I was there but back then they used to get all their meat from the local butchers. I know this for sure because I used to live above one of the Butchers on Wexford Street.

    Steady on dSTAR. People are welcome to voice their opinion whether you agree with it or not. There's no need to be insulting. If you have a problem with a post, report it.

    Fair enough. I just thought it was an unhelpful (bordering on baiting) post but hardly worthy of reporting.

    I thought that was very unhelpful post also. I like the food in Cafe Sofia, but each to their own I suppose :)
