Another local favourite, the small but endearing Battery Café is well-known for its lunchfare, fair trade coffee, and music shows. There are cover charges on occasion, but in my experience, every penny spent at the Battery Café is always worthwhile. Come for the coffee, stay for the music.

Delicious, homecooked food that comes in generous portions. The vibe is homey but slightly romantic at night, with dim lighting and candlelit tables. Prices are very fair for the quality and quantity of food you get.

For something a little different but just as tasty, try this small, family-run restaurant. The portions are filling, the prices are extremely reasonable, but most importantly, the food is great!

can be hard to find top-notch baked goods in town, but when you need to satisfy a craving, the Old Dublin Bakery is certainly the place to go. Locally operated by a passionate baker from Ireland who made his start selling out of a food truck, word got around about his delectably buttery goods.

In our opinion, the best grocery store in town, hands down! Keep your eyes peeled for yellow or pink stickers on certain products - these signal steep discounts for stock they're trying to get rid of in a hurry. :)
