    This is a blatant plug! (so mods do what you will)

    I was up sligo recently and il admit driving from Cork, i dont get up there enough to know my way around but I found a lovely little surf cafe and I figure in these interesting times one good turn deserves another, and the uber stoked French man who runs the place helped me out so....

    The place is called Rene's and you'll find it here http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?hl=en&ptab=2&ie=UTF8&oe=UTF8&msa=0&msid=118440763216771911350.00047556ec8e059cb0848&ll=54.270434,-8.475646&spn=0.001494,0.00457&z=18

    (sorry tried to embed the link but failed)

    Its ran by a man called Mannu who's a great skin, its a lovely spot, good food, great coffee, nice atmosphere. Few mangled surfboards round the place, few nice surf shots on the walls, surf movies on the tv, surf mags on the racks......

    So if any of ye are about sligo, its worth calling in for a coffee or pass the good word on to anyone who might be interested.

    *shrug* we don't mind "plugging" as long as you are genuinely a happy customer of the place and not secretly the owner in disguise :)

    Judging by how the OP wrote his/her email, the owner is either bilingual or has a good grasp of English. You'd spot the odd typ-o from a non native French speaker. ................*shuffles away to lie down*...............

    I'd say it isn't the owner, but he could have gotten someone to post for him :p

    Yeah its a great wee spot. Mannu is a great guy. the pasta is delish and it is a nice place to hang out. Would prefer if the stoodents)(the uniformed kind) would feck of though as they never buy anything and just use the place to smoke their funk and doss.

    Funny with all this talk of cork im thinking of moving the other way from sligo to cork. Could i take rennes with me i wonder??
