Great cafe, great service, great food. The Irish Breakfast was excellent, good value and a great plate of food. The tea was a generous pot and plenty of tea bags to make a nice strong brew even after a refill.

Generous portionsFriendly staffGreat serviceGood valueBreakfastTasty food
Absolutely delicious breaded chicken breast (one was curry and one was parmigiana) with cooked cabbage, carrots and a huge portion of Irish mashed potatoes!!
Okay so the chairs on the patio were a bit warn but if you want some delicious home cooked food at a reasonable price..this is your place. We found our servers to very pleasant and friendly although we only saw them to order and when we got our food.
It is a great dinner with a very friendly workers, lovely food and very like at home atmosphere.
I would like to point out that the soda bread was exceptional good, freshly baked.
We love the place and looking forward to next visit.
Thank you very much for the present.
