Drumanilra Farm Kitchen

Top choice in The Midlands


All of the meat and dairy products here come from the family's organic farm on Lough Key. The cafe serves breakfast (eg pancakes with yoghurt and berry compote), lunch (including house-speciality burgers) and afternoon tea (eg spicy carrot and walnut cake), with vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options. Its attached farm shop is a great place to pick up picnic ingredients.
