Some good news to spice up the food scene in the harbourside town of Monkstown — the popular Cinnamon Cottage on Rochestown Road is expanding and opening a Cinnamon Cottage Café this summer.

The owners of Cinnamon Cottage at the foot of Monastery Hill are opening an extra base on the ground-floor Castle Terrace premises which had previously been operating as a pizza restaurant and wine bar and which closed at the start of 2026.
