I went her with my family for brunch today. I was very impressed with the quality of food offered, the service, ambiance and range of additional products that can be baught and brought home. The home sausage roll in filo pastry was divine, light and tasty. The chowder was well flavoured with the right balance of creaminess, while I had... More

This place is somewhat of an unknown even among Galwegians because it's in Spiddal. It's certainly not unknown to anyone who has spent any time west of the city. Part of me hopes it stays a bit of a secret so it's not impossible to get a table, but this place deserves all the business it can get. First-rate food,... More

This is an expensive lunchtime place for sandwiches and soup. It's nothing extraordinary and not worth the ten mile journey from Galway. I had the smoked salmon... Partner had the chowder. Perfect for lunchtime on a cold day. But... No great dining experience. No dinner service. Overall ok for Spiddal.... But pricey.

Health, hearty yet visually creative and inventive. Portion sizes normal but won't be hungry after this real food experience

This cafe was recommended to me by a close friend and it did not disappoint. The caliber of food and attention to detail is fantastic. I love its location, outside of all the hustle of the city. It is the perfect place to relax. I ended up eating half the menu within two days, the salmon cake is to die... More

I tried some of the the fishcake and both agreed it was delicious. Although the place was busy and I found the staff very friendly and... More
