Fellini Cafe

Cork City


This beloved movie-themed cafe, formerly the foyer of a cinema, is decorated in an odd mix of homey comfort and French bohemian elegance. Take your pick from their selection of scrumptious homemade salads, platters and sandwiches, but the real winners are the giant scones served with fresh cream and jam.
