Fun little roadside café in world famous Hollywood (Ireland)!…read more We got here at about 1pm on a Saturday and the place was packed. Definitely a good sign. Only had to wait about ten minutes before getting seated giving us some time to peruse the random things (hates, postcards, etc. ) they had for sale. We got fish and chips, mushroom soup and a turkey sandwich for lunch. Everything was terrific, I loved the soda bread that came with the soup especially. Warm and delicious with a little bitter spread on top. The service was great, very friendly and helpful. Definitely a gem and worth a stop if you're in the area! Don't forget to get a couple baked goods on your way out, the brownie was terrific!

Ha fast cafe for sitting in the area when visiting Glendalough and Wicklow National Park area. Had the leek and potato soup which was tasty. Soda bread was a bit thick and floury, coffee was fine. Local shop that also sells other goods aside from food. Have a look and check it out. Other places worth dining with be Lynham's Hotel Bar Restaurant and Wicklow Heather which have higher quality foods. The cafe is more for a quick stop. Lots of cyclists stopped there for a quite drink/bite. Not the greatest but worth checking out whilst in the area. Nonchalant ambiance indoors. Better off sitting outside withe views but we're crowded with cyclists the day I went.

On our way to Limerick we decide to get some lunch and this cute little cafe showed up with five…read morestars we decided we needed to stop. It is in Kill right off the highway so easy to get too. The cafe has an indoor section and outdoor patio. The service was lovely and the owner was very friendly. The food was delightful and we were thinking this little community is blessed to have a place like this here. The menu is a cafe with a range of food from sandwiches to pizza to pasta. They have breakfast, deserts and drinks. We had photo error but actually had pasta and a superfood salad. The pasta was flavorful and used Spanish style chorizo. The superfood salad had yams, hummus, quinoa, various greens and I added chicken. It was bright and flavorful. The soup was a wonderful standout as was the treacle bread that came with it. It felt like home. The desert was a carrot cake with blueberries which was also remarkably light and the blueberry was a surprisingly beautiful addition. We can easily see why this place was a five! If you want a lovely stop off the N7, this is the stop for you.

The Terrace Cafe was a welcome respite from the windy and rainy walk around the gardens my wife and…read moreI had just completed. They had quite a selection of yummy food options to choose from. My wife picked a quiche that came with three sides that she kindly shared with me. I opted for a bowl of tomato soup with cheese bread. Both dishes were warm and delicious. We thoroughly enjoyed our sides of Asian salad, fresh fruit and Greek salad with the latter our favorite. The combination of broccoli, feta cheese and dressing was addictive. My tomato soup was the best also full of flavor and very warming. The cheese bread was handy to sop up the remaining soup that escaped my spoon. The folks working there were quite friendly and helpful. The dining area had plenty of room and tables were quickly bussed whenever someone left. A great lunch spot.

Powerscourt Terrace is a nice little cafe establishment in the heart of Enniskerry…read more There are a few things which I wanted to note for anyone not local to the area attempting to navigate here: 1: you're going to have to follow signs, as you'll have basically have zero cellphone reception until you get into powerscourt directly. 2: you do have free wifi in powerscourt, but still no cell signal - at least from 3. The place has some nice choices as far as food - there are plenty of vegetarian options and effectively everything is designed around the concept of "main + 3 salads". I'm not saying do the sad vegetarian option of "you must have salad/you must get a cobb salad without chicken", either. This main + salads idea is a concept all over Ireland, essentially - a main course for one price, and a separate price for that main course with 3 sides. Sadly, the concept basically requires the salads - as you'll commonly find that the main course is a bit small, even for Euro sized meals. This doesn't mean you'll be missing anything, though - as thankfully the salads happen to be absolutely excellent. I happened to try an Edamame and Chickpea salad as one of the choices I had, and it was pretty well made. To complement that was a cooked broccoli, feta and tomato salad along with an asian inspired noodle salad - all of these went perfectly with the spinach quiche I selected. Wifey had the Edamame Chickpea salad as well, but chose a carrot salad along with an awesome lentil loaf - all complemented with an Elderflower drink. Meals are rotated, so I'm not honestly sure if you would see these same main course options as it probably rotates throughout any given day or week. I would suspect the salads probably stay the same, as I noticed the same options in Avoca/Arklow/Gorey at a number of restaurants as well. What does this all add up to? Well, it boils down to an experience like this: You have pretty good food choices that are pretty well made, which are noticeably pricey. All the while you eat these whether indoors or outdoors wasps are going to try to eat your meal with you, so I sincerely hope nobody going here has a wasp allergy. This goes on with hilariously terrible wifi coverage. It was 38 EUR for the two of us. So basically tourist establishment + pricey but nice food and nice places to sit. Oh, and make sure you don't mix it up with the fast food equivalent just next door to the actual cafe.

That said, we wound up for lunch here after a bracing walk in nearby Ticknock - if about 5 km counts as nearby. A very small and cosy dining room full of character and various knicknacks and assorted curiosities, we were happy to share the large communal table in the centre of the room. This turned out to a door under glass. Being boring people, we all ordered the soup of the day - a piping hot roasted veg concoction with moreish brown bread on the side followed by coffees all round. A no. of happy diners were tucking in to ginormous sandwiches which looked fantastic. There's a pizza oven in the yard which wasn't in use on this occasion. Next time - if I can find the place!

The food was OK. Actually the mains were fine. I had a risotto and my friend had a fish dish which was good.

Still, our server was extremely kind and helpful, and just sitting in that space is deeply restorative.
