be interested to hear myself......

we used to go in a bit for brekkie, but just stopped. General produce was sub standard for the price you pay, and some places looking almost 20e now for a poxy hipster breakfast & coffee is just nuts. Im talking a proper breakfast, sausages, egg, pudding etc.

Southside, there is a place at the very bottom of Rathmines opp portobello, right on the corner " grove road", which isnt bad, and also the place on kevin st, "goose on the loose", reasonably priced and good value. Thats where id shoot for myself.



In general, the city centre is a rip off, and its hard to get a good quality brekkie. " brunch " is all the rage now dont ya know the last few years, would they ***k off with themselves, really.

The Ripley Court Hotel on Talbot Street does a large breakfast for €8, fill you up for the day. It's very popular with Bus drivers, Irish Rail staff and builders.

The kingfisher, big green building on Parnell Street at the top of O Connell street, for breakfast.

We go there any time we are in Dublin for a match and it's always fantastic. €10 for full Irish, tea and toast and you'll be full for the day after it. Very friendly staff and quick service.

Del Rio's breakfast bap for brekkie.

Del Rio's has the best breakfast; it's an old style greasy spoon. Full breakfast with chips, toast and tea for 10 euro.

I had to google that to see where it was - and it's listed at opening at 10am every day? Surely a bit odd for a place famed for its breakfast!

A bit late alright, it's a cafe and a chipper. I only go in at lunch time.

It's probably not frequented by Leo's voters "who get up in the morning!"

OP, I second Kingfisher on Parnell St. Nothing fancy but good grub and service both for breakfast or lunch.

Bewleys does some nice breakfasts

Or is this a quality as quantity thread

There's one North and there's on South. It's like hangover food, but done healthy.

Ann's Bakery on Henry St. does a nice fry up before 11:30.

Oh yeah, Kingfisher another good shout. If you've any room left, try the scones!

Something different for lunch Alliance Francaise corner of Kildare Street and Nassau Street.

Unpretentious and relaxed.

I like MishMash at the top of Capel Street (in a Dutch Billy building - number 66) for lunch. Also the Blas Cafe in the Chocolate Factory on Kings Inns Street.

Another one for Del Rio's...... when on the Northside that is...

Gerry's on Montague Lane (just off Camden St) for Southside.

You won't be disappointed with either.

Brendan's coffee shop on Mary's Lane, which is just beyond Capel Street (its opposite the recently closed fruit market).

Proper cafe, everything is served on batch bread.

Nice spot, but useless for vegetarians.

No still there. The building is up for sale but tenant is not affected. Was there earlier this week.

Just around the corner from Gerrys on Camden street beside the motorbike shop a place called Sofia’s does a good breakfast.

Blas is such a great spot, quality food. I've never had a bad meal and it's very reasonably priced.

Upstairs in Kilkenny on Nassau Street....opens 8am and is pretty cheap, under a tenner I think.

Only for old people (joke)

It is a nice place but for vegetarians I'd have recommended Blazing Salads on Drury Street.

If you like a vegan lunch get to Carrot's Tail in Rathmines or V in Temple Bar for vegan burgers and melts.

Gerrys is the spot for me, always leave happy......if its packed & ya cant wait, Sofia's is a pretty good second choice

Sano in temple bar is a great shout for the lunch, savage pizza!

Gerrys is always packed in fairness.

Another shout for Gerry's. Have been going there for many years. The largest breakfast - a tenner - is seriously filling.

I can usually get a seat in there before 8.30am - might be a bit early for OP.
