Friendly staffBreakfastCoffee
Tucked above a historic department store, Lyons Cafe is a Sligo institution famos for exceptional in-house bakery. The menu balances traditional carvery with vibrant, organic salads and excellent dietary friendly choices. Perfect spot for everything from morning latte and breakfast to a post-hike lunch.
We arrived here just in time for lunch. There’s a soup and salad bar, hot food section, coffees and teas, and baked treats — pretty much everything you need and service was efficient.
I had the soup of the day (sweet potato and coconut soup) with bread of your choice (I chose soda bread, of course). That was rather filling, but left me just enough room for desserts.
I got a takeaway mixed berry crumble with the option of whipped cream, custard or ice-cream as a topping. Highly recommend the custard (see photo - it speaks for itself). 10/10 from me as it wasn’t too sweet. The tartness of the berries were refreshing and the custard complements it if not elevate the whole dish. Would def come back again!
5 stars all around. Classic Catholic Irish-Viking-British Isles restaurant, bakery and clothing-hardware-furniture combination store. Economical breakfast and ready made home-made food to order. Super!!!!
