I sat on a stool facing the window view of the street
with an outdoor dining area. The smashed avocado toast was satisfying to my eyes and appetite.
It gave me the energy to walk in the neighborhood and beyond.
Bastion Street has colorful buildings and shops.
I continued to walk to Shannon Banks Nature Trail.

One of those amazing moments yesterday where a random stop off the highway turns out to be perfect. Wonderful food and spectacular coffee in magical little spot next to the river. Best lunch we had in Ireland.
I’d gladly return to the Bastion Kitchen. The food is of excellent quality and reasonably priced. The cafe is cosy and the staff are nice. I had the smashed avocado toast and it was delicious!
