Finding a place to eat on near Achill Head around middle to late October is an absolute nightmare…read more Everything is closed for the season or if they're open they're only open from 6-9 or something ridiculous. However, the Beehive was still open, and open for breakfast and lunch! Though there isn't much for vegetarians, what they do have is quite good. My husband and I ended up stopping here a few times, and we enjoyed it every time. It's a unique cafe because the tables are in amongst the shop merchandise that The Beehive has to offer (but not too close). You can sit outside or inside, and the tables are all by the window so you can enjoy natural light while you dine. It's fun to dine and then browse for unique gifts.

We had a bacon based, and very tasty home made soup each. Our soup was accompanied by a bacon, cream cheese Ballymaloe relish in a lush panini (me) and my wife had a huge savoury crepe with chicken & bacon. These were great portions and full of flavour and each came served up with some tortilla chips, salad and a mayo dip on the side. Then we had a single espresso and large skinny cappuccino. The toilets were spotlessly clean and local papers were available to read. The bill came to 18 euro for the two of us. I was tempted by the Maud's ice creams but in the end I didn't buy. It was a wet, windy, cold day outside and we were toasty warm having just arrived from Achill island. One real irritation here no wifi. I expect if it had it would see greater numbers in the door.

My friend and I skipped lunch that day, so we came here for a very early dinner (or late lunch?). I had an excellent and creamy carrot and parsnip soup, which was served with delicious brown bread. For my meal, I had an open-faced smoked salmon sandwich on the same delicious brown bread with potato salad. My friend got the Cottage Pie, which was similar to a Shepherd's Pie, and she said it was very good. Upon leaving, we got two fat brownies with frosting to go--they were so good! The owner--I'm assuming--was so friendly! True Irish hospitality and friendliness. He gave us some ideas of other places to see in the area and gave us a great recommendation for Kai Café in Galway City (we ended up going there and had a fantastic meal).

Good atmosphere and the staff was very nice. 5/5 - quiche with goat cheese, spinach & potato. It paired perfectly with the salad which was a mix of leafy greens, chickpea salad, and pickled beets. All amazing but the beets were the best I've ever had. Flat white was good too! 5/5 - pancakes, streaky bacon, & maple syrup. My husband ordered this, it was really good. 6/5 - lemon blueberry muffin & plain croissant. We got this take away for a snack later. I'm sad I didn't try to there because it was amazing and I would have ordered more. They really know what they are doing with the pastries.

Even though the listing here on yelp says breakfast and lunch, this is also a dinner restaurant. Shane took our reservation for 6 o'clock after checking the books and seeing that they had about 20 names down already. We shared an appetizer-sized portion of the calamari, and most of us agreed that we wished we had ordered it for our entrée because it was outstanding. The waiter said the secret is that it is never frozen, and I can only say that I've never tasted calamari that tender and flavorful, so perhaps he's right. Don't get me wrong: each of our entrées was delicious, but that calamari!... Their menu list their local suppliers, which must another secret to outstanding food. We also shared two desserts among the six of us: an Irish cream cheese cake and a chocolate tart. Both came on plates adorned with two fruit gastrics and a tiny dish of delicious vanilla ice cream; the desserts themselves were excellent.

We noticed that the waffles were listed under deserts, just a heads up, if you like waffles for breakfast. This is a place I would come back for breakfast or lunch regularly if we live near. Open Monday to Saturday 9 am to 6 pm. Coffee to go (take away) also. Check Out the men's or lady's rooms for instructions of use, well worth the visit.
