This stylish cafe, run by a Ballymaloe-trained chef, brings fresh local produce to brunch dishes such as Gubbeen chorizo hash, or eggs Royale with Belvelly smoked salmon, and lunch specials like croque madame with West Cork ham and Dubliner cheese. Salads are fresh and inventive, and tart of the day could be spinach and feta, or roast tomato, pesto and mozzarella.
