Restaurant review: Kalbos Cafe, Skibbereen

By Joe McNamee

WHILE many relish the intimacy of the tiny little room on North Street that is the original Kalbos daytime restaurant/cafe, especially in the tumbleweed months of darkest winter, a fine culinary comrade —who adores Kalbos II, a delightful courtyard café at nearby Uillinn Arts Centre — bemoans the lack of privacy when it comes to a sotto voce natter, a space so small even telepathy might be vulnerable to eavesdropping, a crucial consideration in a country town.
