Pulling into the graveled drive of the Glebe is like coming home. Summer really only begins with our first coffee and a slice of The Glebe's superb lemon meringue cake. As summer unfolds long, hard runs on local hills become quests with the reward being a Glebe breakfast of pancakes heaped with bacon and maple syrup or a full Irish proud with local produce. Then there are sunny chattering lunches where the guilt of a mid afternoon glass is offset by the garden freshness of our plates and candle lit dinners full of anticipation for the creativity that Tessa and her team will bring to our plates. But perhaps best of all are those late summer afternoon's when you sneak in late for a coffee and a slice of whatever cake remains after a long drive south on impulse. The warmth of the welcome and cup and plate appearing almost before you've thought to ask, that is what its like to be a customer of The Glebe and why I recommend them to all of my colleagues who visit us from afar.
This place is Lovely
Wasn’t sure when we drove in as it looked a little rustic but it really is a hidden gem.
We enjoyed freshly baked scones with raspberry jam,cream and coffee.

I bet this place is packed in the summer a must if you like friendly service and reasonably priced good food.
A really special place run by a wonderful family . Yummy home grown produce and the best artisan food West Cork has to offer served in a really great ambience in beautiful indoor and outdoor settings...and as for the baking!! I try to resist but simply can't. Eat here lots and always will.
Glebe Gardens Café is an absolute gem. If you’re in Baltimore, you must visit. Run by the Perry family, it is a restaurant that uses local suppliers and homegrown produce. The main house is surrounded by immaculately kept gardens which produce fresh ingredients for Tessa Perry (the chef) to prepare; coffee is served in beautiful china cups and there is an array of fresh cakes to choose from. They look as good as they taste �
I was there today with my mum and daughters. I opted for the homemade ravioli. The filling was ricotta and butternut squash and the butter sauce had sage in it: a classic combination. On the side were freshly picked leaves from the garden and a honey dressing. The pasta was as light as air! Coupled with a glass of house white, I mopped up the buttery juices with the Perry matriarch Jean’s homemade yeast bread.
Coffee next in an old fashioned cup and saucer (love this!) and a big slice of chocolate mousse cake with cream. It was amazing!
I would highly recommend this gorgeous café. A true taste of West Cork.
It is always my "Go to" place. Whether it's only for a cup of coffee or a pot of tea, and hours spent yapping on the sofa with a dear friend or introducing a treasured visiting friend to the key gems of hospitality we have here in West Cork. Or for a decadent slice of their syrupy but not sweet, Orange Almond cake or the towering zingy Lemon Meringue pie. And always for a special celebratory meal...
Went for dinner last night and had an amazing time! The service was brilliant with friendly and attentive wait staff, the atmosphere perfect and the food was divine. Better again, we got to go back to collect the car this morning after indulging in the fabulous wine list last night! The breakfast was delicious, the pancakes are to die for, and the cakes we brought home made for perfect afternoon treats on a rainy Sunday. We're already looking forward to our next visit.
A memorable place to visit. Excellent food and friendly helpful staff. And what a wonderful setting.

Can't beat it! Great food and a lovely laid back atmosphere. I would highly recommend it :)
What a amazing restaurant, jewel of the emerald isle. It was our first stop when home from America. Amazing people , amazing place and most of all amazing food. West Cork is lucky to have them .
If you ever find yourself in Baltimore Ireland or really anywhere near there you need to stop by this enchanted and wonderful little spot. Plan to spend several hours roaming the gardens and enjoying some of the best food you will ever have.
Amazing setting. Wonderful food. Fabulous people. Couldn't get a better place. You're severely missing out if you don't go!!!!
This is probably one of the most beautiful spots you could go to, with fantastic fresh food grown on the premises and from the surrounding area. You couldn't get fresher or more local. The atmosphere was magical and we had a fantastic time.
