Had lunch here on the way to Killybegs. Good selection of food and soup was excellent. Sat in Headford Lounge great atmosphere and busy, families, couples and groups. The bar looked very interesting.
We were advised to try the Irish breakfast at this restaurant and we were not disappointed. I opted for the mini breakfast, which was just the right amount for me. The toast was very delicious. Other dishes ordered at the bar were also excellent.
On Easter Sunday, we visited Café Therese as Kells was closed. What a hidden gem! All the ingredients are locally sourced and taste amazing. The black pudding was the best I've had in ages. The staff were friendly and welcoming.
We called in for lunch which was very enjoyable. A good sirloin steak cooked medium rare to order, together with a nice coffee. The server even went to the bar so my wife could have mint tea with real leaves. Good value and nice staff
Therese and her staff are welcoming and attentive, willing to go above and beyond for their customers. The food at this restaurant is outstanding, with a particular standout being the bread and butter pudding.
