    Hi, my dad and I usually go tk breakfast every Saturday, but the place we went to has been bought by others and is being done over.

    So we're looking for new places, we've tried a few in recent weeks, but nothing good enough. So does anyone knw of any places that do a really good fry, I find it's hard to search on the internet for this, because it only returns the kind of restaurants that I think don't do a good fry, whether. In my experience, it's the "posh" kinds of places that just don't d do a fry right, whether its small portions, only half of the right parts, or not cooked the right way. It's the kind of greasy, not well known places that do the best fry.

    Preferably in town or south Dublin. If anyone remembers zuccini in blackrock shopping center, or Patrick's on serpentine road, those are the kinds of places we're looking for.

    If you have a little time, take the DART to Bray and try the Ocean Bar & Grill on the Esplanade - just across the level crossing from the station.

    Best breakfast I've had anywhere in the greater Dublin area!

    Serves from 9 to 12 on Saturday and Sunday.

    Gerry's on Montague Lane, which runs between Camden St &Harcourt St.
    Best fry-up around imo!

    Edit: it's actually Montague Street, I've thought it was Montague Lane for nearly 30 years!

    Brams just past Fairview on the way to Clontarf is a cracker, clean, well cooked and can add Sausages, Pudding or Rashers to your wont.

    Matt the rashers on sundrive road might be worth a look, good old fashioned cafe fry up!

    That's all you need to know right there.

    Special mention also for Matt the Rashers in kimmage.

    Woodstock in Phibsboro, serious fry & parking across the road. It's delish!


  • Registered Users Posts: 220 ✭✭xK Marcus


    Thanks for all the recommendations guys, we'll be trying them all out.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,371 ✭✭✭TheAnalyst_


    I used to go to Gerrys every single week. It's a greasy spoon and whilst its good value its not a great breakfast.

    It's worthy of an appreciation thread, carvery in The Yacht down the road later on and that's 2/3rds of a perfect day. :p

    big fan of the starvin marvin fry in Farmer browns in rathmines and bath avenue

    Absolutely excellent breakfast.

    Also another vote for Brams Cafe. It's more of a greasy spoon than Farmer Browns, and the quality of ingredients wouldn't be up to the same standard, but it's a great spot for one of those big dirty greasy frys that you hanker for the odd time.

    Two Boys Brew around the corner is really good too, little bit up its own arse which I don't like but can't deny the food really is good.

    North side - but Violet's on Dorset Street has always done a great breakfast.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,819 ✭✭✭fussyonion


    Matt the Rashers definitely. Absolutely fab breakfast.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,278 ✭✭✭mackerski


    Cafe Sofia, Wexford Street. Friendly, great fry and cheap.

    Probably too far out of your way, but if you're ever around Stoneybatter direction there's a cafe there called Cowtown, at the junction of Manor St. and Manor Place. They do a pretty decent full breakfast.

    If you are in town, up around the fruit markets up past Mary/Capel Street, would highly recommend Brendan's Coffee Shop.  They do a great fry up.  All toast is always batch bread too, delicious.

    If you can go to the North Circular Road, I recommend the White Moose Cafe,
    Ate there on Saturday last, with the Wife and Child
    Child had pancakes
    wife who never eats fry's had a full Irish, which comes with 2 eggs your way, 2 rasher, 2 sausage, beans, smallrooms, tomato, toast, pudding b&w.
    their menu is online. http://www.charlevillelodge.ie/whitemoosecafe.html
    had the fry this time, but next it will be steak and eggs.
    really tasty.

    I havent been to White Moose, but stay away if you are a vegan, from Brazil or on a GF diet.
    Google is your friend for reasons!

    I walk by that place regularly & was wondering what it's like. Will check it out.

    Riba in Stillorgan village do a very good all day breakfast, it costs ten euros.

    Leonardos in Dunlaoghaire is nice too, its near Dunnes on the main street.

    Another thumbs up for Gerry's on Montague Street. Good fry and friendly (Irish) service. Reasonable prices too for a Dublin café.
