My first full day of dining in Dublin commenced with a quality breakfast from quaint north city centre café, Oxmantown.
I’m pleased to report this wasn’t the only amazing a.m. meal I had during my visit. Indeed, I returned home reckoning Dublin might be one of the best destinations for breakfast I’ve been to in years and with a list of other eateries I wished I’d been able to hit. But I was glad I’d made the choice to spend a little time and money at Oxmantown.
The café’s Black Pudding breakfast sandwich was a morning meal worth waking up for – particularly with its rather kindly price of €5.90. An assemblage of Jack McCarthy’s “Queens” black pudding with tomato relish, pickles, aioli, and rocket on supremely spongy sourdough, it hit the spot and kept any inkling of hunger at bay well past my usual lunchtime.
Coffee (an Americano, €2,20) was lovely too, made with beans supplied by local micro-roastery Cloudpicker.
Setting was pleasant. Seating area was tiny but I didn’t have any issue finding a window seat with a plug to charge my phone. Staff was friendly and efficient.
If I lived nearer, I’d go all the time. And I’d be inclined to head back on my next trip to Ireland.
Oxmantown is located at 16 Mary’s Abbey, North City, Dublin 7, D07 Y0C2. Find out more at oxmantown.com.
