The Collector in Kinsale

13/03/2026: Honestly, my local colleagues and friends were absolutely right — this might just be the best brunch in Cork. I had the Turkish Eggs Flatbread (full plate) with halloumi and chorizo, plus a regular mocha, and it was brilliant. The eggs were perfectly cooked with that lovely jammy centre, sitting on creamy yoghurt and topped with beautifully grilled halloumi and rich, flavourful chorizo. It was incredibly satisfying. The whole plate looked gorgeous too — such great colours. I also really enjoyed the little salad on the side, especially the pickled onions and the fresh greens (watercress maybe?). But the biggest surprise for me was actually the flatbread underneath — unbelievably soft and fluffy, perfect for soaking up all those amazing flavours. Absolutely delicious. I’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend if you’re in Cork and fancy a proper brunch. 😊

05/03/2026: This place was the highlight of my Irish experience. It was recommend to us by the instagram influencer gods themselves. While I’m not religious, I did hear the voice that day as I bit into the breakfast burger. The poached eggs busted upon the sausage patties, and so did I when the jalapeño jam hit my tastebuds. The delectable combination of spicy and sweet was unlike anything I had ever experienced in my mouth. Insane work. Unreal. Have been dreaming about the burger since I finished. A man or America could never. Special shoutout to the workers. Who not only blessed our hearts with their kindness, friendliness and hospitality, but also our eyes. Until we meet again, magical kinsale breakfast burger. Slainté.
