Review for the Bird Rock Cafe, located within the Stella Maris Centre. Wonderful cafe with beautiful views and delicious food. Very accommodating for a rambunctious toddler, including having high chairs. Delicious breakfast and great coffee.

The “Saltee Island Breakfast” with brown soda bread and tea is as good a full Irish as you’ll get in the country. Very reasonably prices.

The cafe is outstanding - a warm welcome awaits anyone who ventures up stairs, and did I mention the amazing breakfast. Top notch breakfast and with a glorious view out to St Patrick’s bridge - what a great way to start the day.
