Lisnaskea has a good compliment of Cafe's but The Hub Cafe really adds a modern sort of Left Bank flavour to the scene. Apart from the cyber-cafe, game console TV and general chill-out ambience the menu seems to be traditional informed by organic awareness with a fun food dimension for teenagers, which makes it perfect for an adult child like myself and all at affordable prices.
My wife an I had a late breakfast which comprised of two full breakfasts, one vegetarian and the other not. My vegetarian rashers seemed to beat the real thing and with scrambled egg, beans, hash browns and potato cakes I was full for the day. Tea, toast and sweet for good measure too. Herself had something more traditional involving real pork. All for less than £15.
We found ourselves chatting to the owner as her two daughters cooled it up apparently protesting against the weather, which of course really works. I've always found the weather in Ireland to be very impressionable. In any event we found lots of common ground and I wondered was The Hub more cosmopolitan than Lisnskea would know what to do with. I certainly hope not as I like having options in terms of the places I like to go and between Aughnacloy, Monaghan and Lisnaskea there ain't many. But Lisnaskea now has several very fine venues, The Hub being one.
The only problem I see is that the sign, although a cool kind of lilac-purple, is set in a darkish plate glass window which keeps the place somewhat out of view despite being slap bang in the middle of Main Street. Still I don't like crowds so it suits me. I do like the places I like to remain open which is why I signed into Yelp to write this review. read more
