Here's what it's like inside (and outside) the best café in Ireland

TAKE US TO CHURCH….

Lovely! Organic and garden grown meal at this cool restaurant in Baltimore. ritamachado33 ritamachado33

THE IRISH TIMES has named Glebe Gardens and Café in Baltimore, Cork the best café/teashop in Ireland.

And who are we to argue?

Glebe Gardens is known not only for its delicious food, chickens and goats and homegrown vegetables, but also its amphitheatre hosting music and drama events.

We went for a virtual nosy around…

Starting with breakfast

    Especially if you have a ridiculous looking beard, wear overly tight jeans and eat nothing but pulled pork.

    Do the staff say scone as in cone or gone? It could be a deal breaker.

    Well in Cork we say scone the correct way- that is, like ‘cone’ ;) So I hope they do! Otherwise we’ll have to disown them and their amazing business ;) sob.

    Would an infamous crab salad not be horrible?

    “We went for a virtual nosy around” of course because no one at the journal ever leaves the confines of the office.

    Gorgeous place. Simple food but ingredients are of such incredibly high quality that even the humble lettuce leaf has you yearning for more. For those if you who are worried, it’s pre hipster.

    Not familiar with this place but my personal favourites are Moloughney’s of Clontarf who have the nicest scones and coffee on Dublin’s north side. The Blueberry café in Donegal town is the best place I’ve eaten breakfast in all of Ireland. And the seafood chowder is something special also.

    Back up here…. Who puts jam on top of cream?! Surely it’s scone, butter, jam and THEN a dollop of cream?!!
