A "FULL IRISH BREAKFAST" at a HIGHLY RATED CAFE in LONDON!

Today, I'm in Clapham at Cafe Parisienne which is very highly rated on Trip Advisor and saw that they do a lovely full Irish breakfast. Given my Irish roots, I thought it was only right to give it a go. Was it worth the money?

    Agree with other commentators, as someone born and bred in Belfast I can say that an Irish breakfast without potato farls and soda bread is not an Irish breakfast. Not sure where the fried bread is either. If potato farls are not available it is traditional to have fried potato leftovers

    I reckon £8-9 would be a fair price. For £12 I'd expect an extra sausage and soda bread or fried slice. But think they need smaller plates. Unless they pile it up I think the portion will always seem small. I'm a beans on plate person. Especially with fried bread. It soaks up the bean juice! But in all honesty, for me, the nicest part is the mop up at the end! 😅 Love the vlog. I'd go for a 7

    In my view, what separates a full English breakfast from a full Irish Breakfast is the fried bread in an Irish full breakfast - usually potato bread (fadge), soda bread and/or Irish wheaten bread. Also most Irish full breakfasts usually include a potato patty or similar. What you had there Gary was a full English breakfast.

    A full Irish or Ulster Fry is usually a lot more substantial than this. Kidneys normally form a part, potato cakes and some hot soda bread. Could have done with being on a plate rather than a floor tile !! Sausage looked good. I prefer the beans separate unless I am having a fried slice or two when I like the beans on a corner of the slice. £12 isn't too bad bearing in mind the location. I think 7.5 is fair. I would have given a 7. Great review as always.

    Great vlog yet again Gary, but firstly congratulations on hitting that 4k + subscribers, you and camera person are clearly doing it right. As for the Breakfast i think it was a fare size, it even had two eggs. Sadly the cost of goods these days and what with Gas and Electric prices being what they are, most eateries are having to be very careful with there portion sizes and costs. Personally i would give it an 8.5 especially as its a London based business, and i will be honest it was miles ahead of the Harrods breakfast. Chris.

    Thank you so much. You've been counting them down and finally I've got there. Really appreciate it and I'll pass on the nice words to the cameraman. I agree re. gas and electric, times have really changed. It was lightyears beyond the Harrods breakfast, I could do a breakfast blindfolded and deliver better haha. Thanks for commenting as always Chris.

    Maggie's in Lewisham is a family-run cafe with an extensive menu. Their menu is as follows: 'Choose from: fried egg, poached egg, scrambled egg, sausage, veggie sausage, bacon, mushrooms, black pudding, liver, fried onions, chips, hash browns, bubble, beans, grilled tomatoes, tin tomatoes, ham, fried slice, toast, bread, bottomless tea or coffee'. There is a stepped price for the breakfast depending on how many items you order. I remember the breakfasts as extremely hearty and I'd eat until I was stuffed. When I paid I was often asked if i was recovering from illness as I'd ordered so little! The wonderful Maggie is no longer with us, but her son has kept up the standards of food and hospitality, I hear.

    That looked like an honest breakfast, as others have said the cost of ingredients these days is affecting some businesses more I would think. I'd always pick quality over quantity, and with all things considered, yes, maybe a bit light but fair I'd say. It looked nice and and another good review.

    Another great review Gary. As you said it looked a very small breakfast for £12. It always makes me chuckle when people say they prefer the beans served on the plate. Surely all you've got to do is tip them onto the plate? When served on the plate you can't put them back in the bowl if that's your presentation preference.

    That took me back to 1990! We were sent to Ireland for work, crossing from Fishguard to Rosslare on the 2am ferry, Jan 1st. Due to an error in booking, the promised motel for a few hours, to eat and rest, was closed, as were all restaurants after the last motorway cafe. So we'd nothing to eat or drink since leaving home early that afternoon. Our trip was thankfully smooth, so once we disembarked we drove about 20 minutes out of Rosslare and found a small transport cafe open. (it was just after 7am) We had the Irish breakfast and some steaming hot tea. It was so needed and we enjoyed it so much that, on our way home a few months later, we stopped and had the same meal on the way back to catch our ferry! A lovely memory! Thank you, Gary!

Mash, 2 sausages, eggs, bacon, tomatoes, tinned spaghetti (beans create an atmosphere no one needs in the morning) separate bowl, looks best. Toast, white with jam on the side. Tea is free and unlimited. Do restaurants often separate the sides and tea, especially if the meal traditionally comes with it? Gary and Cameraman, great content! Thank you kindly again.❤️💛💚💙🩵💜💖💕🥰

    It looks tasty but not strictly an Irish breakfast due to the omissions some of your other commentors mentioned. Also baked beans are a relatively recent addition to the Irish fry. I remember when I moved to England in the late 1980s I thought it was absolutely mental when I got beans with a fry. However ,it has grown on me and it is more usual to get beans in Ireland these days.
