Le Gourmet - Youghal

Was drawn into this bakery by the magnificent looking meringues stacked in the window. Tried a small merengue loaded with cream and fresh fruit. The best meringue I've tried in Ireland so much chewey goodness. Recommend take away there's only a small area to sit. Head with your purchase to the mall beach a lovely spot to sit and watch the world go by.

I've eaten bits and pieces from here often but ordered enough for a 5 person party. The dessert I chose was pavlova. There was a small bit of panic as I wanted to collect early enough and he was afraid it wouldn't be ready on time as they're made each morning. It all worked out fine and the it was the nicest pavlova I ever tasted. All of the other food was great too but the pavlova put it all in the shade!

I wanted to share that le gourmet restaurant now has new owners as of July 10, 2024. I would like to wish Jason and Robyn the best of luck in their new business venture.

I tried some incredible cakes at this restaurant during the summer. I have visited three times in the last two days, but each time I have not been able to find anyone to help me. Yesterday, I saw a dark-haired girl in the back talking to someone I couldn't see, completely ignoring me as I waited. I eventually left. I returned later, but still couldn't find any staff. Today, once again, there was no one around to assist me. I am left wondering if this bakery is operated on an honor system or if it is just poorly managed.

So friendly, the nicest staff ever. Stunning selection of cakes! An absolute must if you’re visiting Youghal.
