Although I've been Ireland 10 months already, I've only recently discovered the joy that is a full Irish breakfast!
When I arrived at The Plaza Bistro, I wanted breakfast, but I thought I'd have to settle for lunch. Lo' and behold, breakfast was available! And in that brief moment, the sun shone through the rain and all was right in the world. :-D Okay, so it wasn't exactly like that, but I was really hungry!
I ordered the jumbo Irish breakfast (no beans) and wasn't disappointed. The egg was soft and the sausages had a little char. Their toast was really good, too, and I seldom would write about toast!
One of the best parts of my breakfast, was that they serve filter coffee! Oh, how I miss good ol' filter coffee. They only give one free refill, but I can live with that.
The atmosphere reminds me of a diner. They even have one of those refrigerated cases with desserts on display. Nothing like diner desserts, but still... They also have a salad bar. The Irish version, not the US version, if you're American.
The Plaza lacks cleanliness, even though the staff seemed to be constantly sweeping. The staff are very friendly and attentive.
I'd return for breakfast if I'm in the area again and I'd recommend it for the food. read more
