Great lunch in a very cute cafe…read more Places like the Hungry Monk are easy to love: comfort food with with locally-sourced ingredients in a very charming little town. Just by looking at the menu and the way the food is served you can tell that the owners take pride in what they do. I have a nice piece of leek quiche with a side salad and a piece of their homemade brown bread. It was great and I wish I had the chance to try more. Warp technology should be real so that I could head over to Cong on a daily basis for a lovely lunch. Visiting Cong? Do consider this place for lunch. It will make you happy.

We…read moreenjoyed a couple meals here at lunch time and I am happy to report that the sandwiches we ordered were very appealing to the eye and the palate. I also enjoyed a pot of tea with what I would have to suspect was homemade lemon meringue. Delicious! I also have to make note that they do also offer ice cream here. I was pleasantly surprised that they had bubble gum flavor. I have been looking for this flavor back home in the states with no success. Who would have guessed I would find it deep in the Irish countryside.

What a cute little coffeeshop on the border of County Mayo!…read more My tour group stopped in Cong for a 45-minute breather with the option to meander around the tiny village. Puddleducks was the closest shop to the bus. Usually I'd wander a bit to find the "best" coffee option, but I was enchanted by this business' adorable name and didn't look any further. I wasn't the only one with the idea. While I was second in line, many more tour goers queued behind me. Only a couple girls were working at the time and looked somewhat frazzled by the sudden crowd. They suggested we grab seats to be served efficiently. However, I mentioned that I was looking for a takeaway rather than dine in and was served immediately. I ordered a vanilla latte without looking at the menu in advance. It was 2.50 euro and served fast and hot. It was so nice walking around in the slight chill and drizzle with the drink in hand. I'd recommend a stop to Puddleducks if you're in the area or your tour makes a pit stop.

The service is friendly and attentive, and the ambience is fun. Both locals and tourists were patronizing the shop when we were there. Second they have a selection of baked goods and other interesting local products. We got tonic syrup prepared the old way using Cinchona bark from India rather than just processed quinine. (Some exotic G&T's in our future.) We also got wild gorse syrup from gorse picked by one of the owners. (How else would you find gorse syrup?) A fun and delightful stop if you're in Cong!

Our family of four were able to eat for less than 35 euro total. The staff were courteous and prompt and the ambiance is quaint. The cafe seemed to be a spot where locals frequent. We very much liked being in a place that didn't feel "touristy." We sipped our coffee and ate bacon, eggs, French toast, salad, baked beans, croissant, and veggies while watching a light rain shower out the windows. What a wonderful cafe! We highly recommend!

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.

Two words: fried calamari. As we walked in the door of this tidy, attractive restaurant in the late…read moreafternoon, a lady heading out said to try the calamari because it's great. Was she right!! 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 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.
