The culinary offerings at Rabelo truly shine, especially with their Everyday Brunch, served from 9 AM to 1 PM. Start your day with the Stuffed Croissant Scramble, where locally sourced eggs are scrambled to perfection with Irish cheddar and chives, all enveloped within a flaky croissant and topped with luscious hollandaise sauce for just €10.00. Or, indulge in the American Style Pancakes—a trio of fluffy buttermilk pancakes served with either the decadent combination of smoked streaky bacon and maple syrup with berries or the sweet embrace of Biscoff sauce and bananas, complemented by whipped cream for only €11.00. For a classic twist, try the Rabelo Benedicts, which feature perfectly poached eggs over sourdough toast, a beloved favourite among local patrons.
