Best greasy spoon in Ireland?

lazygal

Please recommend. Our local place is posh and does brunch with eggs benedict and smoked salmon and the like.

Are you going to travel around Ireland to get to it or would like somewhere close to you?


You really are a lazygal :P

Difficult to recommend all of the country but The Golden Grill in Limerick!

News Cafe in Blackrock

Pottler

The Cafe attatched to the Travellodge on the roundabout at swords, can't remember the name(never really looked tbh) but they do a lovely fry-up in there. Staff are nice too. Always full of taxi-drivers but I try my best to overlook that.:D

Diapason

Does Gerry's on Montague Street in Dublin count as a greasy spoon? Dunno, but they do a cracking fry.

W.Shakes-Beer

Off The Square in Clifden....sweet Jesus the breakfasts.

lorebringer

Roma Cafe in Kilkenny - haven't been there in years but do the best hangover cure fry I have ever had!

Never been in, I will have to give it a shot sometime.

Boss Hoggs in Clondalkin village is another decent shop. Seriously upped their game recently. Used to be a kip. Got their "small" breakfast for 5.95 euro which was great value and had me full for the day.

Manhattan was legendary!! Good days...

daenerysstormborn3

There's a place just as you're leaving Carrick-on-Suir heading for Piltown, beside the petrol station, can't recall the name. Lovely fry ups.

Another place in New Ross, Sid's Diner, lovely fry ups, often head there on the way back from a rally

Remember the place opposite the hospital, i think it was called "what the doctor ordered"

Try finishing one :eek: full Irish with chips, beans and a round of toast

Mint Sauce

Definatly not a greasy spoon, but they do an amazing breakfast. Lindas Krusty Kitchen in Donegal Town. Plateful of 2 bacon, 2 sausage, 2 hash brown, 1 egg, fried potatos, beans, toast, OJ, and a tea or coffee.

Another nomination, also not a greasy spoon, some some Italian Cafe (I think) just around the corner from Lansdowne Rd. Bacon, Cumberland sausage, choice of egg, fried tomato, mushrooms, doorstop sized toast and tea/coffee/OJ.

Nyom nyom nyom.

The Snackery in Tralee not healthy but Yummy

Chips and beans are a big no no.

They do not belong in a full Irish breakfast. If they are serving a load of chips and beans it means the rest of their produce is garbage and that they are over compensating for that fact.

Run a mile.

Not in there. They had different breakfasts, small, medium etc. I think the one that included chips and beans and all the works was called the truckers breakfast, and it would feed a starving family

robjones1981

Cafe Sofia on Wexford St

Manhattan was the best ever, really miss that place - any know what happening or why it closed? Because it was always busy whenever open

Roma in Dundalk is class too

Ah, now.

That could never be in the greasy spoon category.

Peter Ward would not be impressed !

I'll second Gigs Place and Matt the Rashers, in fact last January I managed to do Gigs' Place after a night in Whelans, went back to someones gaff in Rathmines for a party and went to Matt's about 11 the next morning for an all day breakfast with some fried liver. Yum Yum!! :pac:

There is also an excellent greasy spoon in Robin Hood Industrial estate in Ballymount, Dublin. It's almost right opposite Musgraves Cash & Carry. Excellent food at all hours and huge portions too.

Also a place in Coolock in the industrial estate but I don't know the name, on the left as you are driving in there.

Mother Hubbards between Enfield and Kinnegad used to be great, it's gone very bad recently. Pity.
