Diamond Rocks Cafe

We had breakfast at this restaurant on our way to Cliffs of Moher. Good coffee, excellent fresh squeezed orange juice. Great service and enjoyed chatting with owner who was able to share a wealth of info about our journey. Our orders of eggs and fresh fruit yogurt and granola were both delicious. I only regret not getting some pastry for the road.

Yes, indeed, come for the view. The restaurant is a spacious, high-​ceiling, new building with picture windows overlooking the Bay with a continual show of whitecaps crashing on the rocks.
Come to think of it, though, it is hard to swing a shillelagh without hitting a restaurant with a great view on the Irish coast. Do enjoy a cup of coffee as you return from a hike of the cliff trails, as you will walk right past this place.
The food is sustenance, and I’m pretty sure the hot food comes from prepared frozen foods – pizza, fries, etc. A safe bet might be the panini, though I didn’t try one, I would guess they press them in house.

I would go here for the view alone. This busy café stands at the base of a stunning cliff walk and overlooks the spitting ocean and three rock-​enclosed pools, otherwise known as the pollock holes.
However, that’s not the only reason to select Diamond Rocks as your choice of café in this picturesque seaside village. The food is home-​made and tasty and the juice is freshly squeezed.
Seductive desserts wait behind the glass, tempting even the most abstemious amongst us. This is a red-​light district for the sweet tooth.
The savoury food is great too. You can choose from seafood chowder, soup, open sandwiches, panini, toasties, pizza, and much more. The coffee’s good and there are many types of hot drinks to choose from. One can also buy beer here.
The walls are adorned with beautiful paintings (which are for sale) and tea sets so pretty you’ll wish you were a five-​year-​old girl, hosting tea parties for your dolls.
After indulging in all the café has to offer, you can play a game of pitch and putt (the course lies just behind), swim in the pollock holes or wander up the cliff. Kilkee doesn’t do guilty.
