Melly's Café was recommended to us by a local when we asked for a good fish and chips place. We stopped in after a long day of hiking and looked forward to eating. Expect plentiful seating and table service.
Most of our party of six ordered fish and chips. Two others ordered burgers and chips. Everything arrived hot and fresh. The fish looked huge and the chips were abundant. Unfortunately, as the hungry souls started to down their portions, they noticed that the batter didn't seem to be thoroughly cooked, or the fish contributed to the soft coating. The chips, however, were perfect!
I chose the 6 oz burger with slaw and iceberg lettuce and no pink sauce (ketchup and mayo combined) and curry chips. The curry sauce brought a nice heat. The burger was pretty plain, even with the slaw and toasted sesame bun. I dressed it up with ketchup. They didn't have any mustard.
Our server was friendly and helpful at the beginning, but she never stopped by again. Someone else delivered the meals and we didn't see her again. Maybe this is how service works in Ireland?
Disappointing. But, maybe we caught them at a bad time and our party of six was too difficult to manage. We will never know. read more
