Kalbos is very special..especially their lunches and cakes. I would highly recommend their chocolate brownies.. just because they are the best I've ever had. Everything else is excellent but the brownies are special. The quality of the food is brilliant and they have a really friendly service ethos.

Lovely cakes to enjoy in the place or take away with a coffee 😀
Salads, quiche, sausage rolls etc look very nice. Of course I bought a very nice Irish bread 😋😋😋
