Bruno's Takeaway in Dublin

16/02/2026: I've been to this place HUNDREDS of times over the last 10-12 years. The key thing is consistency, ie I know I'll get a decent coffee and breakfast, my 2 main reasons to visit. The breakfast is good but not as varied as it could be; used to love the Big Breakfast and Danish. A McMuffin meal is nearly double what it was 10 years ago. Music is good, I've even looked up a few tracks from Shazam. Superior location, next to all the shopping. I always have a few loyalty vouchers for the 'free' drinks. I like the app which gives occasional useful offers. Overall, my preferred 'local'. (Update) Noticed frequent staff changes; a McDonald's staple but not necessarily a bad thing. The breakfast menu doesn't really change and this is something that DOES need to be worked on. I am a consistent user and collector of their vouchers for the loyalty cards, always have a few available for the 'free' coffees. The app works well with discount offers, but not much in the breakfast area. Bring back that Big Breakfast! Overall still my go to space in this area for a quick bite to eat, relax, check your phone, and check your local shopping. No reason to change.

27/01/2026: Once I noticed is that the Irish don't season their food. Not all the time but a lot of the time and McDonald's is not exception. Their burger patties are not seasoned. You can tell when you bite into it. The sauce of my big arch saved it. The fries....omg very bland. No salt whatsoever. I dont know what that says about us in the US, or that maybe the Irish are onto something without all that salt. Coke zero is the same. Just a heads up if you decide to eat at a McDonald's in Ireland.
