Be warned Sunday breakfast is so popular and the place gets very crowded, reservations are advised.
We travelled overnight on a ferry from Pembroke to Rosslare during the Christmas period of 2024. Hollyhead Port experienced damage due to storm Daragh, so the Hollyhead to Dublin route, which is nearer to our home, wasn't available for us.
We were exhausted driving en route from Rosslare to our home in the West when we searched Google maps for somewhere to eat breakfast.
Google maps brought us to Treacy's.
The premises looked cute, and its carpark was full for Sunday morning breakfast. As we entered, the place was crowded. We were asked if we made a reservation. We hadn't. We explained that we had travelled a long journey and only discovered Treacy's after doing a Google map search. We were accommodated, however, and stood in line behind others waiting for a table.
Eventually, our party of 3 was led to a small table, which made us feel very squashed. We asked to move to one of the larger empty tables but were told they were all reserved. That was fair enough. However, when other unreserved larger tables became free before our food arrived, we were so tired from the long journey that we didn't ask to move again. We simply stayed squashed on one table. There was no offer to move us either, despite those larger tables remaining empty.
Thankfully, the breakfast was delicious and we didn't wait too long for the food to arrive. My small pot of coffee was cold, but when I asked for another, the replacement was larger, hot, and heavenly!
The atmosphere was rushed. Staff were extremely busy with getting food to tables, and people seemed to eat quickly and go quickly, only to be replaced by even more diners.
We did not find the place comfortable at all. The staff and manager acted like they were working on an assembly line getting through the food service and diners as quickly as possible for maximum profit. Food, however, was of excellent quality and was delicious.
Once we were fed, we quickly paid and felt obliged to leave quickly like those before us.
We were still tired from travelling, but at least we were fed a good meal. Treacy's was not a place to rest after eating for us. We did that in another quiter eatery we stopped at for lunch before continuing with our journey home to the West of Ireland.

Fantastic end to a week in Ireland with my recent grad daughter. A highlight indeed, especially the family name!

This one is really good. I had the most amazing vegetable soup and a pot roast dinner. The Irish coffee was lovely, too. Friendly service that is quick. I would come back to this one.
