Idaho Cafe

A small, very cosy and comfortable cafe. The stuff are polite, and, I will agree with opinions before, quite efficient. I leave tips each time! Best compliments about food, chocolate cake was delicious, so were potatoes with bacon and gubbeen cheese. Food, which tastes like the one of my grandmother (she was a very good cook) - just nothing to add, simple recipes, but tasty and so pleasing ;)

IDAHO CAFE (09.07.10)

Downtown for a few hours today, principally to say Bon Voyage to the Clipper 09-10 race as the ten racing boats left the city quays on the last leg of their 35,000 mile trip around the world.
Took a walk in the rain over to the Idaho Cafe for a slightly early lunch. I choose the Potato and Gubbeen Cheese with Bacon and was glad that I did. I could have eaten the Morris Piper potatoes on their own but, mixed with the Gubbeen, the combination was unbeatable.
The Cafe is small but comfortable enough. Service is friendly and efficient and the cooking is top class. My main course, with a small salad, cost €11.00.

IDAHO CAFE
Called to the Idaho Cafe in Maylor Street mid-morning for a coffee and scone (€4.60). The smallish cafe is well known: it does breakfast and lunches and has a string of Bridgestone awards to its credit.
Studied the menus while drinking the coffee and must say they look promising. Looked up to see the proprietor, Richard, going around topping up the coffee and mine was not neglected. Nice touch and one that could be copied, with profit, by restaurants in the evening.

Idaho Cafe is located centrally just behind Brown Thomas. Serving a variety of good quality food including lovely homemade soups, salads and tasty deserts including belgian Waffles with hot chocolate sauce. Nice selection of wine available also. Space is quite small so it may be difficult to get a table at busy times, but it’s worth the wait! Staff can be a bit distant but generally efficient and helpful. A perfect haven to rest and relax while having a day of hectic shopping!
