    Avoca on Suffolk at. Again, check their website. Edit, I'd say most eateries around the area would use free range eggs. But Avoca is the best for breakfast, you can go with their huge portioned ones or order a couple of sides and share.

    Strangely enough McD's eggs are free range.

    Isn't free range one of those terms like organic, that aren't legally protected? So anyone can say their produce is ethically sourced, organic and free ranged and it means very little to say so.

    Organic and free range are both legally protected.

    Free range isn't necessarily what people assume though. The requirements are that adult birds are kept in houses with daily access to an uncovered outdoor area weather permitting. The minimum outdoor space requirement is 2 square feet (0.19 square meters) per bird.

    No, the use of IOFGA and Organic Trust logos on a label is protected. The word "organic" isn't.

    the proof is in the pudding when it comes to whether or not eggs are free range or not!

    anyone in the know - when restaurants do not use free range eggs, do they mostly use liquid egg or something like that? The last time I had eggs out I forgot to ask whether or not they were free range and it was such a chore to eat them.. they were so anemic and like rubber.. and dry.. gross..

    Do you not think that may have more to do with who cooked them and how they were cooked, than the mental well being of the chicken?

    You can generally tell by the colour - the more it leans towards orange the better the quality. Yellow and pale lemon is not so good.

    i have eaten really great free range eggs both at home and out… regardless of how they are cooked that are really yellow and taste fresh..

    i do not wanna name the place in dublin where i had bad eggs as i like the place - i just won't go there for eggs.

    Normally on the Dublin City forum people thank people for taking the time to make recommendations and suggestions when it comes to restaurants and eateries!! Then they do a little review on the restaurant, some feedback for other future visitors... :-)
