Before travelling by long distance bus to Belfast we had breakfast at
Balfes, located at the Westbury Hotel, Dublin, Ireland and formerly
known as Cafe Novo.
Normally we are frequently going there for the weekend brunch, so breakfast during the week was a new experience for us.
During brunch the whole restaurant is accessible, not so when having breakfast during the week. Only the bar section was open to the public. This was the only thing I disliked. The bar was busy due to some job interviews taking place and other guests. All the low tables were occupied. It left us only high ones and meant sitting on a bench or bar stool. It was a bit uncomfortable for me and the tables are slightly too small.
There was another difference. The portion sizes were much larger at breakfast than it is during brunch.
The service was as always attentive and we were recognized as regulars.
We ordered two Chai Lattes, two Orange, carrot and ginger juices, Eggs Benedict, an omelette with smoked salmon and oat pancakes sweetened with agave syrup. The food was delivered timely and was delicious. The oat pancakes were especially interesting and filling.
The bill came in at 45 Euro (ca. 56.20 USD).
In the future we will return either for breakfast or brunch.
