You’d need a decent breakfast in this weather.

If you’ve got to slog through sleet, snow, or just the general miserable-ness of this week, why not treat yourself to something that’s not only good for your soul but also makes your taste buds do a little happy dance? Because, let’s face it, there’s no better way to kickstart the day than with something warm, comforting, and just a touch indulgent (you’ve earned it after battling the elements, right?).

So if you’re wondering where in Cork to find that perfect breakfast that’ll not only wake you up but also make you feel like you’ve got your life totally together for a solid 20 minutes, you’ve come to the right place.

Here are five deliciously hearty dishes to try in Cork tomorrow morning that will make you forget all about the weather (for a little while, at least):

1. The Ultimate Eggs Benedict at Lab82

Eggs Benedict? That’s cute. But have you tried the ULTIMATE Eggs Benedict?

At Lab 82 on the Lower Glanmire Road, you get your poached eggs and bacon served on toast, covered in hollandaise, black and white pudding and fried potatoes.

2. Pistachio Toast at Naturally Nourished 

The NN nut butter toast has had an upgrade. Hitting the breakfast menu at Penrose Dock and North Point, Blackpool this week, Naturally Nourished is serving sourdough toast, peanut and pistachio butter, topped with banana, crushed toasted pistachios and a honey drizzle. It’ll keep you going all day.

3. The Pain Perdu at Bayou

MacCurtain Street’s haven of New Orleans-inspired comfort food is open from 10am on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. That means you can skip the cereal at home and swing by for their new all-day special for breakfast; the Pain Perdu (New Orleans French Toast) is served with jam, mascarpone and lots of powdered sugar.

There’s a nip of bourbon in the batter mix too – that’ll put hairs on your chest.

4. The Peanut Butter Bowl at No Sin

Take a jog (or a casual stroll) down to The Marina Market in the morning for a Peanut Butter Cup bowl from No Sin. A chocolate, banana and peanut-y bowl of hearty goodness, it’s a nutritious treat that will fuel your workout (or your walk home).

5. A zingy salmon at Good for the Soul

If you want to enjoy brekkie out but you’re still keen to stick to your healthy eating plan, head for Good for the Soul in Ballincollig. Nab a table and order the Ballycotton Co. smoked salmon served with Ballyfin Farm poached eggs, house pickles, and rich hollandaise on sourdough, finished with capers and fresh herbs.
