i'v wrecked my head on this and have thought about it but could not think of anywere sorry maybe your local butcher and put on the frying pan!

You'll have no problem if you're happy to eat at an hotel - Buswells serves from 7am & is central.

A few of the other places that I checked like the Kilkenny shop & Foley do not open until later (8:30/9:00).

The topic came up recently - so check the Dublin forum, I think Suzyflag or myround had some good breakfast suggestions.

Buswells = 7:30 on weekends.

Guess i will just have to get up early and put the rashers and sausages on !!

Apparently there is a place on Camden Street called the Billboard Cafe that opens at 7 am.

Don't know why that link is not working!Seems that cafe is now gone according to an old indo article online

Probably much more congenial just to give them breakfast at your home at that hour. Provided, of course, that you're a good cook ceannain. There's nothing quite as distressing as a badly cooked Irish breakfast.

Thanks for your replies. Will make it myself i think. Willl be up anyway as have two children under 3!!

They suggested breakfast in town as they would stay on till shops open and have a look around before coming out to me. Guess they will just have to do it other way around.

Any entrepreneurs out there want to open a 24 hr cafe??

Just a note to say there are 2 all night places in Portabello. Unfortunately one The Gigs Place ( which I've been in when I lived in Rathmines) closes at 6am and you pay for the privilege. A 24 hour place now theres an idea!

There used to be a 23 hour a day place called the Coffee Dock, in the old Burlington Hotel. But both the hotel and those giddy days of the Coffee Dock seem to be over. It was a favourite haunt of many partygoers, in the early hours, after the UCD Rag Ball and the Trinity Ball.
