Lyons Café
Lyons Café & Bakeshop
A century-old tearoom opened in 1926, on the upper floor of a former department store, serving breakfast, roast lunches and homemade desserts.
On the second floor of Henry Lyons department store (founded 1878) on Quay Street, the tearoom has been operating since 1926 and is one of the few traditional tearooms still open in Ireland. It is now run by chef Gary Stafford, and a bakery on the ground floor. Offerings include Irish breakfast, roast lunches, homemade cakes and afternoon tea at good value, around €12–25 per person. Closed on Sundays; please check the café's published opening hours.
