I’ll trade any lunch or dinner out for a quality breakfast any day of the week. There’s something special about starting the day on the right foot with a solid meal.

It could be as simple as a poached egg on brown bread; it could be magical buttermilk pancakes with all the fruit and syrup you can handle; or it could be the mother and father of all full Irish breakfasts.

Whatever your poison, the creme of the crop were revealed on at the Irish Breakfast Awards on Tuesday.

Before getting into the list, hat tip to Kilkenny’s own Zuni Restaurant and Boutique Hotel for being highly commended in the 3* Hotel Breakfast category.

When you’re next in Kilkenny, be sure to stop in, the menu is a joy and their French toast with poached eggs is the business.
