    The last while I've felt there's not many places I'd recommend to go for breakfast or lunch in the city anymore. Can anyone recommend a few?

    56 central is grand

    Caprice is grand but insanely expensive

    Esquires do nice coffee but food is bland

    Food for thought I feel has gone downhill since covid.

    I like o Reilly's if you're out salthill side, also the cafe, mocha beans I think, beside Trends do a tasty burrito to go

    I'm much more of a greasy feed person so Feeney's is badly missed, haven't tried Finnegan's in an age.

    Depends what you're looking for really. Dela still have a solid brunch, as have Harry's.

    MyBakebox have decent savoury pastries that they heat up if you want.

    Magpie do excellent coffee and pastries, savoury and sweet.

    Éan have excellent food.

    An Tobar Nua have some decent sandwiches and bagels.

    Urban Grind have some good food too.

    Greens if you're a vegan.

    Corrib Tea Rooms always do good breakfast/brunch.

    I've never tried your first 3 and haven't had Food for Thought in about 20 years.

    +1 for Magpie


    Revive is back open again, though I've not tried them yet.

    Last time I was in Caprice, I wasn't impressed by the menu. It just had the titles, but not the contents. EG 'Full Irish', but you don't know what's in it be it 1 or 2 sausages, black and/or white pudding, beans, etc

    Is Feeneys in Salthill gone? That’s a shame if so, it was my go-to place on a Saturday morning when I lived close by to it years ago. A great greasy fry 😋

    Currently, I really like Roots cafe (various locations) for a breakfast. Tasty.
