Bridge Cafe

Excellent local spot! The warm Irish breakfast roll is better than most, with toasted baguette and freshly prepared rashers and eggs. The eggs and rashers are made there and then, adding all the appeal that (say) spar and centra lacks. It isn’t too hard (one would think) to assemble a fry up within a baguette, but a proper Irish breakfast roll is non the less very hard to come by! Here is, with compliments and friendly chatter from the casual staff, a spot that does just that — and with bravado!

I like popping in here for lunch every now and then. The portions are big, the prices are very reasonable and the staff is lovely. They recently added a couple of tables outside the back, perfect for sunny days like today. The coffee isn’t great though but The Bridge Café is not a hip or trendy coffee place but your safe local greasy spoon where people greet each other and your order is taken with a ‘what can I get’cha love?’ Sometimes that’s all you need.

It’s ok for a sandwich and a coffee, deco is normal, place is ok, coffee is ok, sandwich are nice, price is normal… if you are in a hurry and you want something to eat and a coffee, you can go there…

One morning I was waiting on a locksmith to replace the lock on our door after I managed to drop my keys down the lift shaft. Mrs M was in deepest, darkest Roscommon and I’d no way of getting inside our home. So I wandered around trying to kill time and realised I’d need breakfast. So into the Bridge Café I went.
I’d often walked by and liked the smell coming out. So I looked at their fare and went for the breakfast roll. It was class.
First thing was the soft bread roll was warmed. This is important in a bread roll. The sausages, rasher and egg were all cooked to perfection. I felt infinitely better after that. It certainly eased the pain of the impending lightness of pocket I was faced with when the locksmith had to be paid.
Recommended! The Bridge Café… not losing your keys down a lift shaft.

I love this place, always pop in here for lunch if I’m in the area. It’s a greasy spoon affair. Yeah you can get salad, sandwiches and soup but you have to eat their breakfast! They serve it all day and it’s cardio inducing yum, the best that I have found so far in the southside.
Staff are great, sausages are so bad for you that it’s good. Definite spot to cure the hangover or just to indulge yourself every once and a while. You can get the bus after to save you the painful walk with such a happy but laden down tummy.
