Eating Outside or take out for home.
ALFRESCO DINING LIST:
The Broken Chair at Moneylands Farm in Arklow is really well set up for outdoor dining and the staff are friendly, food good I'm told.
Mount Usher Gardens courtyard for Avoca take out or Avoca Handweavers in Avoca village. Woodenbridge Hotel and Lodge for lunch or dinner. A lovely drive over back roads.
For Gorey Daytime eats, Partridges, The Book Cafe, basic but good. The Clubhouse at Seafield Hotel.
The Duck at Marlfield (expensive, but a treat for a coffee)
The Strand at Cahore, great spot for the kids with the pier and beach right there.
The Cosy Cottage Cafe, Esmonde Street Gorey. Little yard behind, their salads and vegetarian foods are best.
The Lavender Farm, nice outside courtyard. Haven't been this season but in previous years the food was disappointing but the place nice!
I like Partidges for breakfast/brunch/great coffee and snacks and super take away for picnics.

There's a lovely bistro at Marlfield called THE DUCK. It has a great menu with a beautiful garden, terrace and restaurant in a converted coach house. If you're willing to splash out, go here and you are fond of a nice environment go here. The food is good but perhaps could be improved for the prices they charge. They only do lunch and dinner, no snacks and one must eat a minimum of 2 courses for lunch and 3 for dinner. Ask when booking. Service can be slow. Essential to book.

I love the atmosphere here, it's always busy, always open (daytime) and has great coffee. If you like an iconic café, this is it Street eating but you make a trip inside for the loos or to look at the produce.
