New gourmet address recommended! A passionate team, with Sophie, a pastry chef by trade, concocting the sweet treats every day - cheesecake, banana bread, carrot cake, cookies... - and Jean for the savoury "canteen": bagels, buns, avocado toast.... Here, the watchword is "homemade", with rigorously selected local products for the most part. A fine range of specialty coffees, much appreciated by connoisseurs, and even an eco-responsible ethic for cold drinks. The terrace is very pleasant and the welcome very friendly.

Was the bike hanging from the ceiling served to Lisdoonvarna, whose management is indicated on a sign on the post is set right in the middle of the room? Perhaps the boat even made it possible to cross the Ocean... A heterogeneous objects of alba, neon signs boasting Guinness and Beamish framed with the newspaper cuttings, remember that here, you are in Ireland. The service is therefore done at the bar: eleven pressure and about as many whiskies can be enjoyed in front of the giant screen, while nibbling, or listening to the concert given every weekend...
