The Bell & Pot is open every day from 7 am to 9 pm and its breakfasts are top notch. I was catching up with my sister, after she arrived into Dublin airport on the red eye flight and before we were due to hop on the one of the yellow ducks and do the touristy thing around Dublin. The café had a lovely chilled vibe and there was a nice amount of people tucking into some tasty food, which gave the place a relaxed and welcoming buzz.

The furniture is a little mismatched, with a kind of whimsical feel. The cups, plates, saucers and even jugs are pastel coloured and really suit the ambiance. It is a place you could go on a dreary afternoon, solo, with a book, or just to people watch, and enjoy one of their highly recommended scones and a big cup of tea. It is equally good, as I discovered myself, to while away some chill out time while catching up on news, chats and banter.

And so, to the food... I chose the buttermilk hotcakes with fresh banana, strawberries and maple syrup. These were a mixture between American style pancakes and a flat cakelike treat. They were luscious and dripping in delicious maple syrup. I couldn't even finish all three, and I am seldom beaten by a good breakie.

M went for the appealing sounding "Dr. Pot's Green Eggs" and yes, this a healthy breakfast the doctor ordered, but with no compromise in the flavour department; it tasted amazing. I tried a good mouthful! This dish comprised a slice of granary bread, with spinach, avocado and scrambled eggs served on top, and with basil feta on the side. It is a winning combination of flavours on one plate.
