We were in Shell's last Saturday and the waitress said we would have to wait about 25 minutes for a table, we waited and it was well worth it. We had their B.L.T. on home made bread and soup. It was beautiful. Lovely atmosphere. The only downfall was the price of the products in the new shop, like €13 for...

Actually, it's the best place to eat in all of Sligo. I try to go at least once a month, they never disappoint. If I could give them more than 5 stars I would.
Okay, so the setting is just perfect, the staff are exceptionally happy and friendly, and the food is gorgeous. My only complaint is that it's too hard to get a table, and the recent extension should have been much bigger!

Was here last Friday with friends & had a lovely lunch.. Service & food were both excellent only complaint I have is the coffee could be a little hotter.. Can't wait to go back again..keep up the great work

I found the atmosphere really pleasant in the place midweek with locals also popping in for a bite to eat and a coffee after a walk on the beach. It...
