I was looking for an Irish breakfast nearby my hotel. We went to Oniells the day before and were…read moredisappointed by the self serve style of food there . I wanted a small mom and pop shop with a quiet atmosphere and a hardy breakfast. When I first saw "Lunch!" I thought to myself, oh this must be just a lunch place. But then I thought, but it's 9am and I see people eating what looks like breakfast and sipping coffee inside. I took a sec to read through all of the various lunch options and then at the very bottom I finally found their breakfast menu. Their breakfast features an all day breakfast platter of various Irish meats, toast, an egg, and hashbrowns. It comes with a regular coffee or latte and is more than enough food for one person. My boyfriend came down to join me shortly after I ordered and we were able to share the breakfast. This place is absolutely lovely and I highly recommend it. Best breakfast in Dublin!!!!!!!

This is a small gem nearby Trinity College. We had the traditional Irish breakfast and although…read moresmaller than breakfast we are used to in Montréal, it was the perfect size for us.

Ugh what was I thinking? My friend lives out in North Dublin and I live the other way, so we'd agreed to meet somewhere halfway between. The only place I could think of was the Kylemore and that was not really where I wanted to be with a hangover! After a bit of research I discovered there was a nice greasy spoon on Talbot Street. The food was perfect and the fry up soaked up the booze left in my stomach and a nice warm cup of coffee quickly brightened my head. Definitely worth it, though like Dani pointed out it's not convenient to most people stuck at home in their beds nursing a hangover!

I'd heard that the Pantry on Talbot Street was a good place for a fry-up so I decided to give it a shot so I could report back to you. The pantry looks very light and modern, a bit like a French bistro. The staff are friendly and know how to make a good cup of coffee and well, the fry-up is indeed very good. Nice and greasy- exactly the way it should be. The rashers were nice and crispy and the toast nearly perfect. So why am I only giving 3 stars? Well, I know where I can get the same just a wee bit cheaper and closer to home. Having said that, the Pantry is worth checking out if you're in the IFSC or near Connolly station.

I ordered an Irish coffee (which absolutely hit the spot) and was recommended the Murphy's Special Egg. Oh my gosh... it was so good. The flavors were perfectly balanced -- savory beef chorizo, fresh feta cheese, and beautifully poached eggs with yolks cooked just right. The sriracha blended with fresh cream created this rich, slightly spicy sauce that brought everything together in the best way. Every bite was comforting but packed with flavor. Service was excellent and the ambiance is super chill with lots of cool vintage decor to look at while your food arrives. It was exactly the kind of meal you want after a long day of sightseeing -- filling, flavorful, and memorable. Such a great spot in Dublin. Would definitely return!

They allegedly serve an authentic Irish breakfast, which I had to try. It is all mostly delicious, affordable, and the service is friendly and fast to boot. The plate is arrayed beautifully, with the beans, sausage, rashers, and eggs tasting fresh. The generous amount of toast more than makes up for the heavy meats on the plate. Unfortunately I was not a fan of the pudding, and the hash browns did look a tad greasy, but the tomato and mushroom make up for them. They added good texture and balance to the meal. Sit back and relax, or get to work early and enjoy a nice breakfast here. It is a great way to start your day off right.

Sunken below street level it feels more off the main path and you have to keep your eyes out to find it easily. Walking in the place has a real chill and cozy vibe up front. I was seated right way and ordered off their all day menu. I got their Double Baked eggs, brown soda bread, bacon, sausage and roast tomato. For my tastes the double baked eggs were overdone, but that's double baked for you. Everything else was so delicious though that I truly didn't even notice. It was a wonderful pile of meat overflowing out of a little skillet with a stack of soda bread and butter. Truly it was a delight. I also ordered up their irish coffee. This was especially fun because it's not a simple shot of whiskey, coffee and cream. They create a brown sugar syrup blended with the whiskey to cook off the alcohol but retain the flavor. This means you can day drink and not even bat an eye at it being strange. The flavor was delicious and I'll be trying to recreate this at home for sure.
