What is it?

The Avoca café occupies part of the ground floor of Powerscourt House, with large windows and a terrace overlooking the gardens and the Sugar Loaf. It is the natural place for lunch on a morning at Powerscourt, and you don't need a garden ticket to sit down.

What is on the menu?

Home cooking from the Irish chain: quiches and tarts, freshly made sandwiches, soups and salads, and a display of cakes and scones. Next door, the food market sells bread, pastries and ready meals to take away, useful if you are planning a picnic at the waterfall.

Opening hours

Open every day from 9:30 to 17:30. Hot food is served until 16:30 and cakes and coffee until 17:00. At weekends and on public holidays a coffee stand also opens in the courtyard, from 11:00 to 16:00 if the weather is good.

What to order: the quiche or the salad of the day, and a scone on the terrace.
