When we arrived, there was a book launch taking place, but we were warmly welcomed and offered drinks and finger food while we waited for our meal. The place is beautiful, the staff are very friendly, and the food is exceptional. The fish and chips were the finest we've ever had anywhere in Ireland. Yesterday, we enjoyed some coffee and pastries, which were incredible—great locally sourced coffee and cakes that are definitely worth the visit to Strandhill. We will definitely be returning to try more delicious food and take in everything Strandhill has to offer.

The food was delicious, and the staff were fantastic; the entire experience was wonderful! There was a girl working in the shop (we unfortunately didn't catch her name), but she was incredibly friendly, helpful, and just an all-around lovely person. She also made the best Vietnamese iced coffee. We will definitely be returning! Best, Clodagh, Denis, and baby Maisie.

It was very messy and they aren't served on a plate, just a wooden board, so juices were dripping onto the table. Updated from previous review on 2024-02-24

They’re actively working on expanding their vegan menu, so be sure to visit and demonstrate that the demand for veganism is on the rise! Additionally, there’s a lovely shop inside where you can find a variety of mindfulness products and excellent vegan items. Updated from my previous review on June 30, 2022.
