If you want to eat in a comfortable, atmospheric, traditional and busy Boutique style Cafe ( being busy tells you all you really need to know) then look no further than The Henry Lyons Cafe Restaurant on the first floor of the department store of the same name in the centre of Sligo . There are many good places to eat in sligo and I have tried a lot of them but if I had to choose the this is the place. The food is all freshly made on the premises and all the dishes look appetising and tasty but the reason I go there is to enjoy the best hot sandwiches you will find outside Dublin . Freshly prepared and brought to your table it is a feast for the eyes and a treat for your palate . The pulled pork with sticky Oriental sauce is the best I have had outside of Louisiana USA and the Lebanese chicken with fresh garlic mayo is not far behind. In a nut shell lift your eyes up from street level and make the journey upstairs for food you will make a journey back to Sligo for especially the sandwich selection, it was so good my wife asked to speak to the chef who visited our table to tell us just what effort goes into the food available in this tucked away gem of an eatery. Many thanks and will will definitely be back.

We had our afternoon drinks here. Had to wait ages for service as only one member of staff at the counter. All perfectly ok if slow. Cakes looked appealing but managed to avoid them. That took will power!!!!
