Indoor dining has recommenced at the Cliffs of Moher Visitor Experience for the first time since the start of the pandemic, with the reopening of the newly refurbished Cliffs View Café.
Operated by Brambles, one of Ireland’s leading catering providers, the 120-seat facility is located on the first floor of the Clare County Council-owned visitor centre. Current Covid restrictions mean that indoor dining is currently restricted to 52.
“I am delighted that visitors are once again able to enjoy a fantastic dining experience overlooking the cliffs” commented Bobby Kerr, Chairperson of the Board of the Cliffs of Moher Centre Ltd.
The Cliffs View Café had been closed for indoor dining since 2020 but reopened initially for takeaway services in May 2021 before the full reopening. The extended closure presented an opportunity for a range of interior refurbishment works to take place, including the installation of a new coffee station and counters, new seating, and painting work.
Geraldine Enright, Director of the Cliffs of Moher Visitor Experience, commented, “We take great pride in offering customers locally sourced and produced ingredients in food served at the Cliffs of Moher. Through our membership of the Burren Ecotourism Network, the Cliffs of Moher Visitor Experience is committed to supporting local businesses and playing a leading role in increasing public awareness of the range of quality food produce in the local area.”
