26/05/2025: Review for Mrs. Jones’s Farm Kitchen ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mrs. Jones’s Farm Kitchen was our fun and cozy first stop once we got into the countryside. We drove straight here from the airport, and I only had to make two U-turns, but that was pure driver error (not the directions!) (well, the driver WAS getting directions from multiple people in the car). The Bakewells were absolutely delicious, especially the berry one, and the French toast was a hit with everyone at the table. We ordered one small breakfast and one full Irish breakfast, which was quite good. That said, fair warning: the fried egg came over easy, and I’m personally not a fan of runny yolks. Oh, and the blood pudding? I was contentedly nibbling away until a helpful family member reminded me exactly what it was. Let’s just say... I pivoted to the bacon after that. The attached garden center is a gem if you’re a local looking to upgrade your outdoor space. There were plenty of people around ready to answer questions and help out. But as a tourist? The restaurant is definitely the highlight and a fantastic place to kick off your vacation with some hearty, homemade goodness. Would absolutely recommend as a first stop!

24/05/2025: We (me and my wife) have coffee break after the Donabate Portrane Cliff Walk. We have two coffee, croissant and an almond croissant. The coffee is as good as our favourite cafe Butler. The two croissants are exactly how they should be. The cookie top on the almond croissant is icing on the cake. Pleasantly surprised. We (and the children) have good lunch here several times in the past when we went for the same cliff walk in the past. Have to say we have not been back recently because the children have all grown up. This place is great for family - bright and spacious. I can see there are two families have their breakfasts that morning. Quite a lot of locals as far as I can tell. Staff are great - friendly and helpful. Most of them looks like part time local senior level students. After coffee, we picked up a few plants and vegetables from the farm shop before heading home. Highly recommended if you are in the area.
