They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
We’re not one to argue with that. Why would we – Ireland comes with great breakfast options that fill you up good, real good. Say good morning to a full Irish breakfast! It’s perfectly fried deliciousness.
Oh, the smell of those rashers! Add the beans, the egg, don’t forget your pudding, butter that toast, and enjoy everything else that’s on the plate. Read on to find out just where in Dublin you can start your day like that.

Honourable Mention: Slattery’s – follow Anthony Bourdain

With all those breakfast options in Dublin, you’ll want to stay longer just to try them all. A full Irish fills you up for the day so you can explore the city and its surroundings with plenty of energy.
That’s actually how it started – well, not for travelling, instead to keep farmers full for the day. There’s a lot of history and fun facts for just one dish, but it’s also fun learning about your food, isn’t it? So, how many full Irish breakfasts will you have on your trip?
