Update, November 2023
The signs are gone, the windows are frosted over. There are no signs, and they didn't really "do" social media - but it looks very much like Avenue is closed.
Avenue Cafe / Restaurant - October 2023 |
October 2022 |
Originally
Avenue cafe/restaurant opened in August 2020, and was the first new café to in Galway city after the Covid-19 closedown in 2020.
They're located at the intersection of High Street and Cross Street, where The Pie Maker (and before that Revive Grill and Cafe, Latin Quarter Wine Bar - and many few others) - were previously. Once-upon-a-time this location was even long-standing drapery shop.
The opening menu was an interesting mix of Badger and Dodo coffee, and Neo-to-Go takeaway Asian street food following Neo's success with this at their Dock Road restaurant. In mid-2021 the focus was very much on the coffee - but the Neo menu was still very much being served.
Downstairs, there's outdoor seating available for both coffee-drinkers and noodle-eaters. There's is a large room with seating upstairs, with a corner table, which is a great spot for people-watching in Quay Street
