Such a lovely cafe with a stunning view of Blackrock castle. The service was superb with a reasonable wait time between courses. We had Chicken liver pâté with plum chutney to start, followed by Hake fillet with potatoes, pesto and green beans and a spiced chicken thigh salad for mains. Dessert was brownie with honeycomb and salted caramel and dark chocolate cashew delice. If I could only use one word to describe the food here it would be delicious!!!

OMG, they hit everything on point. Service was perfect. We arrived early, with no problems we were at the outside tables being warmed by the sun, and cooled by the drinks. The food was delicious 😋. The staff were very friendly. Well to all.

We had a wonderful experience at Castle Cafe. Beautiful space outside with gorgeous views of the castle. The food was well balanced and fairly sized, and the service was very efficient and pleasant. We would definitely be back!
