"Dorchester is not lacking in Irish pubs, so it takes a really special one to rise above the frothy head of an area drowning in Guinness and make us take notice. McGonagle’s, from the team behind The Dubliner, has done just that. The sprawling spot’s menu will make you reconsider Irish pub grub regardless of what time you visit, but we especially love starting a lazy weekend here with a hearty Irish breakfast. The meal includes some of the best black pudding we've ever had, two eggs, thick cut bacon, oniony white pudding, a wee dish of beans to pour on your toast, mushrooms, and hash browns fried into crunchy triangles perfect for dipping into runny eggs." - lala thaddeus, tanya edwards, catherine smart
