The Venue in Strandhill

09/11/2025: We visited Shells Café on a Sunday for breakfast. The full Irish was nice overall, the sausage was lovely, though the beans weren’t great. The poached eggs eggs tasted quite strongly of vinegar. We also had to call the staff several times, as different parts of our order had been forgotten. We understand it was a busy Sunday morning, but the service felt a bit disorganised and below what we expected. The café is lovely but not very clean, which was a bit disappointing. Still, the staff were friendly, and a walk along the coastline after breakfast is highly recommended, the views are beautiful and make up for the wait.

02/11/2025: Lovely little place, right on the seafront; good variety, a little expensive but food quality and service were great and it wouldn't stop a return trip.
