Reviews of Avoca Café at Powerscourt

m. d.

Traditional Irish food with very good view of the garden. Good afternoon tea place. Just the staffs are not very efficient and the waiting time is very long. No customer service generally speaking. As nobody take the plate of finished food. The desserts are not very sweet. It is not like the desserts in Ireland at all. Coffee is nice.

If you don't have time for the gardens, or don't want to pay the entrance fee, the view from the cafe here is spectacular. We didn't find the options for the kids great, but the lime and passionfruit cheesecake was amazing

F. F.

Beautiful food.... And amazing views.... Love it

J. K.

Well its the setting tbh....breathtaking manmade and natural beauty...in all seasons.

Expensive food. I know it's true, you pay for what you get, the food is tasty, but it's still microwaved to heat up, and it's self service. The view of the garden from the restaurant is nice, if you can, weather permitting sit outside to enjoy the best views.

V. M.

What a fantastic place to enjoy your coffee and a selection of cakes or your brunch. Seating outdoors is a must, as you get the chance to enjoy the beautiful gardens. Prices are slightly high but the food tastes good and the view is spectacular.

D. O.

It's expensive and the queues to wait (due to covid-19) are long, it is worth it. The food was delicious, really really nice. I talked about the long queue but the staff were excellent. I will be going back and I would highly recommend it.

S. M.

Outstanding meal for a reasonable price! OK, so my food pics are not so good this time, but I gotta say the spinach quiche is amazing! And the carrot cake is outstanding!

P. W.

Delicious brunch. Had the tomato basil soup and the veg burger alongwith some filled veggie pattice. Amazing views though the service is a bit slow. Will surely return for the desserts as we skipped on them this time.

m. w.

Not to be missed. Stopped here for lunch. Awesome choice of beautifully prepared food. We would have gone on the walk the gardens but it was too cold so we walked the retail units. Lovely high quality products. Will go back when it’s a little warmer as the gardens look lovely.

Staff very friendly but cakes over priced and not very tasty

S. M.

The view from this cafe is breathtaking. However, the food is not the best. It lacks a lot of taste- spices and salt. The desserts are not great either. Wouldn't recommend to come here for the food but the view is beautiful.

B. S.

Always plenty of food. We are lucky they don't charge for the beautiful views. Priceless

T. P.

Pity it's a canteen style but location is beautiful

Amazing view and delicious food. Very impressed with vegetarian options. This time I chose beetroot burger with side salad 💚 be careful they have so many desserts 😂 super sweet ❤️

L. O. B.

I went there for my boyfriend birthday (after quarantine, he was really craving a nice coffee) and it was great. We had lovely lattes (with dairy free option). It was lovely outside with a great view and covid-safe.

K. O.

F. E. S.

Nice coffee shop with a good garden views.

t. c.

Always great to spend a few hours there

L. B.

Beautiful grounds, sweeping driveway. Olenty of parking. Very nice garden centre, good supply of plants. Several small shops within the building. Avoca restaurant. Fantastic variety of food. Coffee was good. However variety of gluten free was limited. Beautiful views of the mountains and grounds when sitting having coffee and scones.

K. G.

There is a good range of hot and cold food served here. It is tucked away in the corner of the house so a little cramped queuing when busy though. Good amount of seating indoors and outdoors with canopied tables on a terrace overlooking the gardens. Beware that there are two separate serving areas, one for sandwiches, drinks and pastries etc; another for hot food and drinks.

s. b.

A very nice store and cafe inside Powerscourt House. Stop here for food either before entering/while exiting the gardens.

Fresh, delicious, pricey. But worth it, I think- especially if on a hot sunny day you can sit outside on the terrace, overlooking Powercourt's magnificent gardens. Cappucinos are a generous size, and the banana bread is superb. Nice quiches too

o. g.

Lovely tasty food in airy restaurant with beautiful Wicklow Mountains to gaze at. Service top class and very pleasant all round. Might add word of praise for all the various shops with fantastic quality clothing and gifts for young and old. And if that's not enough, its a dream to stroll around the delightful gardens in any season. Irelands highest waterfall is on the estate too. Its a place you just want to keep returning to.

C. B.

I would describe the food here as luxurious bordering on indulgent. Always busy and in a beautiful setting. Well worth a visit. Stroll around the gardens after a nice lunch

S. G.

Food was good, queue wasn't too bad. Service was OK. It's table service only, and as there are so few tables it does lack the ambience it used to have.

S. V.

The cafe is cafeteria style with a large selection of delicious treats - I had the vanilla New York cheesecake which was devine. The also have lovely salads, main meals and a few gluten free options which are always appreciated.

M. O.

Best food in area! Friendly staff, reasonable prices, beautiful views. 👍👍👍

Great views but way over priced. Tourist price gouging at it best!! Food on the day was average at best.

M. O.

One of the best places that you can visit, a beautiful day out for all the family, beautiful gardens, and surrounded by wonderful countryside, and so many beautiful reasons to visit the Cafe, the Ritz-Carlton and Powerscourt Demesne, just a little piece of Heaven.

I. C.

Great food. Helpful staff. Clean and comfortable with excellent views of sugarloaf mountain.

D. H. W.

Food was lovely. The salad that came with the lunch was exceptional. A great spot for lunch after a walk around the gardens.

P. M. S.

Pity the staff don't clear and clean vacated tables. Otherwise, apart from the amazing views, it's just a place for a coffee and catch up.

N. M.

(Translated) A great place for a walk where there is a lot of greenery around. Easy route, convenient paths. Nearby there is a cafe, souvenir shop and wiskey distillery. At a distance of 5 km, another attraction - a waterfall. I would recommend. (Original) Super miejsce na spacer gdzie w około jest dużo zieleni. Łatwa trasa, wygodne ścieżki. W pobliżu kawiarnia, sklep z pamiątkami oraz destylarnia wiskey. W odległości 5km kolejna atrakcja - wodospad. Polecam.

(Translated) Local located next to the Powerscourt gardens that offers a wide variety of sandwiches / sandwiches, different soups and daily specials, as well as sweets and cakes. All quite healthy and well presented. It is a place without table service (self-service). The terrace overlooking the gardens is highly recommended on good weather days. (Original) Local situado junto a los jardines de Powerscourt que ofrece una gran variedad de sandwiches/ bocadillos, diferentes sopas y platos del día, así como dulces y tartas. Todo bastante saludable y bien presentado. Se trata de un local sin servicio de mesa (autoservicio). La terraza con vistas a los jardines es muy recomendable en los días de buen tiempo.

(Translated) Prices too high. Eating things didn't appeal to me. (Original) Preços muito alto. As coisas de comer não me apeteceram.

A. L. G.

(Translated) Great sandwiches and quick pistts. A little too much confusion being a self service anyway (Original) Ottimi panini e pistti veloci. Un po troppa confusione essendo comunque un self service
