What User likes about Hare's Gap Cafe Bistro:
I stopped by because I had starved and didn't know it was dead. I had the chicken stable with the Pomme frits. it was really excellent. this was rib eye made in a spicy teig that was on the ground. the fries were cut thin, double-footed and salt/peffered to perfection. the service was great. the menu is typical perini. they make a few things really good. the table next to me had other items on the lunch menu that loo... View all feedback. What Rebecca Davis doesn't like about Hare's Gap Cafe Bistro:
I am a regular customer at Gap Cafe and I absolutely love the cozy atmosphere. The small number of tables creates an intimate and peaceful setting, with a comforting cabin-like interior. While the atmosphere is important to me, the food also plays a big part in my dining experience. The menu may not be extensive, but the food is delicious. My usual choice is breakfast, but lunch is also available. The service is good... View all feedback.

Most places you only get a single cup of tea or maybe two. I got three full cups out of my pot and it was a reasonable price too. Otherwise my filled soda was g...

Situated amidst stunning Mourne Mountain views, Hare's Gap Bistro offers a mixed dining experience. While some visitors rave about the large portions, particularly the homemade rhubarb pie and hearty fry-ups, others express disappointment with the food quality, citing unappetizing dishes and inconsistent service. The young staff, though friendly, may struggle with attentiveness and efficiency. The café's inviting ambiance and generous tea servings are appreciated, but inconsistencies hint at the need for improvement. Overall, Hare's Gap Bistro holds potential, yet it seems to rely on the day’s offerings and service quality, making it a gamble worth taking for adventurers nearby.

A gem of a cafe if you're near Abilene or staying at Abilene State Park. Many items are gluten free but not marked on the menu. Just ask. Yummy!

Limited menu, mostly breakfast items. My Cobb salad was excellent. The place is quaint and cute, very clean. Antique items add to the charm.
