We were recommended Bunkers by a local when we asked for a good breakfast spot on the morning of Wednesday, August 10th. It was our first visit. We ordered: 1 Cornflakes with milk for €3; a Continental Choice breakfast (any cereal with ham and cheese croissant and tea/coffee, we chose Cornflakes) for €7.50; a small Irish breakfast with tea/coffee and choice of toast or brown bread for €7.95; and 2 poached eggs with avocado (served separately) and toast for €9.50, also with tea/coffee. The poached eggs were cooked perfectly and came with plenty of avocado, though not on the ciabatta as described. The croissant was warm, large, and fresh out of the oven. Portions were generous, and we enjoyed the food. The place was lively around 10:45 a.m. when we left. When paying, the tall, dark-haired young man who served us totaled the bill on the screen. It should have been €27.95, but the charge was €30.95. I pointed out that the continental choice included cereal but I was charged for two separate Cornflakes. He said that was just how it rang up. I asked for a receipt and was given a slip showing only the total paid, with no itemized breakdown. Tip: Make sure you know what you should be paying, question any discrepancies, ask for clear explanations, and request an itemized bill. My rating is affected by the overcharge.

Bunkers is a spacious restaurant and bar with separate dining areas divided by French-style doors. There’s a coffee shop section and a larger area with a full bar. We both ordered coffee; my wife chose the Deep Fried Brie Salad, and I had the Potato and Leek Soup served with their homemade brown bread. Everything was delicious! It’s a lovely restaurant that seems popular with locals, which is always a great sign. I highly recommend stopping here.

The doorman, Puk, was very friendly, and eventually, we were seated. We ordered from the menu and received our soups promptly. However, we were shocked when the waitress brought the bill and insisted we pay immediately, even though we hadn’t finished our meal. When we asked about this policy, the staff responded rudely and were unhelpful. We ended up paying €120 for a meal that was spoiled by poor service. We will not be returning to Bunkers and suggest they improve their staff training.

The staff were friendly and attentive, and the lively atmosphere felt inviting rather than hectic. I highly recommend Bunkers to anyone seeking a delicious meal in a welcoming setting.

While the staff were very attentive and friendly, the breakfast itself was disappointing—sausages were undercooked, eggs overcooked, and the toast was burnt and dry. We didn’t mention it at the time because the staff were so nice, but someone really needs to speak to the chef. - Pat
