Visited this cafe every morning while staying in Sligo, it’s down to earth with very friendly service, good coffee & an excellent range of plant mylks.
I eat a plant based diet & it can be really difficult to find a good meal while travelling,...I tend to live on dry toast, potato chips & salad without dressing, it can be pretty boring, however, the staff & chef at Lyons were excellent & made me an incredible breakfast with no drama or fuss.
They do have a fantastic selection on the menu & have a vegetarian choice but finding food that suits a straight up plant based diet is tricky & honestly, after growing up on farms etc I can feel like a bit of a numpty asking for a specific thing that is clearly not on the menu, service staff have enough to do without catering to whimsical requests based on personal ethical decisions, so I really feel for staff when a person comes in & wants something not listed on the menu especially when they are super busy but they were absolutely cool about it.
My partner isn’t so fussy & had the ‘Big Irish Breakfast’ which he loved, we will come back to this cafe when we next visit Sligo, it’s perfect & has an amazing lunch menu as well. The chef is a talented, creative guy & his salads are epic.More
