I have been into "The Eating House" so many times now, and I absolutely love it!
I have tried about a third of the menu, and so far everything has been super tasty.
The food is amazing, the organic coffee is wonderful, the staff are awalys welcoming, there are loads of gluten free and sugar free options, the special's are interesting, and the soup, the Mexican Queen burger and the carrotcake are simply the best versions I have ever tasted.
I have been into the cafe by myself, with my partner, have recommended it to friends and family members, and soon will be bringing family in for lunch!
Food = FANTASTIC!
Staff = wonderful, happy to help, and friendly
Athmosphere = warm and welcoming
Location = central, just off the main street
Parking = does not have it's own designated parking but there is street parking nearby, (Blessington is not great for parking overall)
Bathroom = clean and quirkey (in terms of decor)
Price = very affordable, good value for the amount and quality of the food
Environmental impact (new addition to my reviews going forward) = LOW! "The Eating House" is a vegan cafe so it uses no animal products, the napkins are made from recycled materials, the takeaway boxes are made from carboard, part of the interior decoration is recycled wood, the staff are local, and the produce used to make the wonderful food is sourced locally!
Extras = the cafe is in an historic building (lovely to see it being used rather than fading into ruin), there is a takeaway menu, and the cafe is work friendly i.e. there are sockets for charging devices if working from the cafe. read more
