Views & locationFriendly staffTasty food
Really nice place where you can eat lots of varied meals. Good products and tasty dishes! Welcoming staff and very good location near the river, you can eat outside and still avoid the rain!
Thank you so much for this great review and the fantastic photos!
Having a full Irish breakfast, and some sandwiches and pancakes, not bad! The price was fair, the food was nice. Although I wouldn't have minded a slightly bigger portion. It wasn't really impressive for something called Full.
The food was good, and delicious. Although it was a regular weekday, it was very busy, we had to wait for somewhat 15-20 minutes, before we were seated, and once seated, we had to wait somewhat 10 minutes before we could order. But with the location and the atmosphere, it was absolutely worth it. Beautiful location, and very cosy with all the people around you. Although it was busy, it wasn't too loud, and you could easily have a good conversation with your partner.
There was even seats outside, alongside the river, very beautiful.
I would absolutely recommend coming here for having a good coffee or tea, and then have a cake or anything, but the lunch is rather on the cheap side. Maybe not for a next time, but the cake and tea, absolutely yes!
Many thanks for your review. It was actually a bank holiday in Ireland yesterday which is why it was so busy. Looking forward seeing you back and will take your feedback on board.
On a trip to Sligo I popped into this cafe for breakfast. I wasn't sure whether to sit down or order at the counter. No staff came anywhere near us. Eventually I caught someone's eye and they said to take a seat. It took ages for them to come and take an order. I ordered something very simple. A side of bacon and gluten-free toast.
Again it took a long time to arrive.
When it did it was about 4 rashers of streaky bacon, stuck together, cooked properly on one side and soft and pink on the other (who is obviously cooked in an oven) the bacon was so salty I never stopped drinking water all day.
It came with one slice of toast, they told me the other slice was coming.
But it never came.
The same thing happened to my friend.
They would have charged us full price other than the fact that I pointed out that we were missing two slices of toast.
They deducted a coffee.
I wouldn't go back
I am so sorry that this was your experience but we will use your well writtten and detailed explanation for staff training and ensure that these issues do not reoccur. It would be very helpful if you could email details of your visit including date and time so that we can identify your receipt for refund. Our email address is [email protected]. Thank you.
