Kennedy's Fairview — Restaurant in Dublin

Hate to be the person to leave a negative review but unfortunately my visit on this occasion was sub par to say the least.

The service was very slow upstairs. . When we came in I ordered an Americano and 10 mins later it still hadn't arrived, had to ask again, another 6-7 mins passed and finally got an Americano.

we ordered a Breakafast Bagel, Beans on toast, the mentioned Americano and an orange juice.

After food I went to pay and was told bill was 28 Euro.

Considering the bagel was 8e I don't know how the rest was 20e. I asked for a receipt so I could check the breakdown of prices of everything, and I was given a piece of paper with the table number and 28 Euro beside it. No breakdown. Toast was apparently 3.50, same with a tiny pot of beans.

Been many times previously and was fine but this was a very poor experience with extortionate prices....

Nice place but so overpriced for breakfast they offer. €8 for breakfast - 2 slices of bread , 2 smallest pieces of rashers that doesn’t even cover one slice of bread(but meant to be enough for 2), 2 eggs ( I asked for the pouched eggs but what I got was hard boiled “pouched” eggs), relish didn’t come at all so have to ask for it, 1 smallest piece of butter that isn’t enough to butter one slice of bread so we asked for more. We asked for a glass of water TWICE and that didn’t come. Coffee was nice and that’s the only reason I’m giving 2 stars. I would never go back for food. I left the place feeling hungry after spending €24 for 2 smallest breakfast and one tea and one coffee. A bit mean with portions I thought. Staff was lovely, but completely zoned out. Customer experience...

They serve breakfast until 11. I had sausages, fried eggs, bacon, pudding, onions, tomatoes, white toast and tea. It cost €15.25 which is expensive but... totally worth it. Kennedy’s are one of the very few cafes that don’t use cheap grizzly jumbo sausages. They use actual PROPER butcher sausages. They know how to fry an egg... crispy on the bottom and with a runny molten yoke. Everything on this plate was high quality. The staff were really friendly and helpful. I tend to come here on weekdays when it’s nice and relaxed. It does get a little bit crazy at the weekends. The decor and general ambience of this cafe is really good. You get to read an Irish times while enjoying the great food. I love this place. Seriously... five...
