Farmgate was established when Maróg O’Brien opened her restaurant and country store in Midleton, Co. Cork in 1984. Ten years later, in 1994, Maróg’s sister Kay joined her, and so the café in the English Market was established. Located in the heart of Ireland’s oldest and most historic food market, with an industrious exciting view overlooking stalls and fellow traders, Farmgate Café embraces much of what is unique and traditional to Cork along with new influences in this dynamic multicultural food market and port city. Centuries old traditional, seasonal, regional, even ‘forgotten’ foods are at the core of the Farmgate ethos, and also form a visible link between the menu and the wonderful array of produce downstairs. This allows Farmgate Café to provide a uniquely Irish eating experience both reflecting and (we hope) playing a small role in a vibrant Irish food culture truly embracing how good indigenous ingredients and food products are.
