Muscles Protein Bakery in Antrim

Called here on our way through Antrim had read other reviews and the menu online looked really good. The Brioche French toast was nice although it was different temperatures throughout and cold in some places. The coffee was good but what really let the whole experience down was the eggs benedict. Eggs benedict is a classic breakfast or brunch dish that has been enjoyed for decades and when done right is absolutely delicious. Unfortunately this was not the case here they have tried to add a twist to a dish that does not need any enhancements and in turn have ruined it. The crispy kale was inedible it was soaked in salt and was awful, the substitute for bacon was two slices of fatty hard overcooked slices of belly pork that had been reheated. I do not want belly pork for breakfast there was more fat than meat and it smelt awful. The hollandaise sauce was not too bad but then it had a black syrup drizzled on the plate which was bitter and did not complement the dish. The poached eggs were exceptional and were the best bit of the dish the rest I had to leave. Please just serve a classic eggs benedict its a winner every time I understand that you have tried to enhance the dish but this is an epic fail! The desserts I took home were nice and the carrot cake was one of the best I have had. My son ordered a toastie and we were confused as he asked for ham and cheese but was told they only did ham and cheese from 11am onwards but he could have a cheese toastie? Surely you can put a slice of ham in a toastie at the same time as putting cheese in it I assume you have ham on the premises so I don't fully understand the reasoning behind this. The café is a little grubby in places and could do with a little attention to detail. All in all it was a disappointing visit. Price wise its not extortionate but not good value at the same time portion sizes are good and its in a handy location for parking.

Best bakery in the land if you ask me.

Met friends for lunch today. Thus place hasn't changed in years - in a good way. Cosy, great service and quality comfort food. I had the best Chicken Maryland I've ever had, with great quality chicken, gammon and a nice touch with a wedge of beautifully charred fresh Pineapple. Other dishes included chickennwithbpepper sauce and a roast beef dinner. Home made cheesecake and jam sponge with custard followed for two of us. Fabulous meal and looking forward to returning soon.

Now closed for the foreseeable awaiting new owners. *Reopened as Cozy Corner.

Llamado para algunos alimentos y quedé muy satisfecho... gran porción y no podía creer lo barato que vinieron todos.. poco cansados en la decoración, pero un pub muy agradable con buena comida ☺
