Re-opened under new management, I couldn't wait to try the new menu at Doolin Cafe. We went there for dinner and had the 5 course menu. It was deliciously decadent, from our mini Ploughmans sandwich to our pre-dessert of a deep fried bounty bar everything was wonderful. Great wine, fantastic service, relaxing surroundings and all for a great price, we... More

Much better than the run of the mill 'fry up' that I would have been expecting. Homemade bread used for the toast served with breakfast too. Great... More

Breakfast at the Doolin Cafe surpassed expectations, much better than your average fry and great value with plenty of coffee, juice and toast. Six hours and a ten-mile Burren hike later, we still weren't hungry, so I'd highly recommend it before a hard day of sight-seeing!! The staff are great and the place looks lovely, really bright and airy. Can't... More

We had delicious cooked breakfast here that took us by surprise. we were expecting an ordinary fry but this was extraordinary with gourmet sausages and homemade bread . The lovely Canadian waitress told us it was their first day under new management. Everything was perfect and in such a cute cottage setting. More
