The Wilds

When in Enniscorthy, it’s well worth climbing up the hill to the top of Weafer Street – here you’ll find Paula Asple’s and Simon Nelson’s delightful café, The Wilds, serving the the best local, Irish, seasonal, free-range and organic foods. A real gem.
Seats 60 (+ 10 outdoors, private dining 14). Open Tue-Fri 9-5 (B’fast 9-12, L 12-3), Sat 10-5 (to 4pm Sun). Brunch Sat & Sun 10-4pm. House wine €22 bottle, from €4.50 glass. Closed Mon, Dec 25 – Jan 1. Small shop with local produce, homeware and gifts. Full wheelchair access. Visa, Mastercard abbreviations

A must-visit when in Enniscorthy, Paula Asple and Simon Nelson’s delightful café has been wowing customers since it opened in 2015.


It’s in a landmark historic building at the top of Weafer Hill. with beautiful honey-coloured brickwork and an attractive balcony with a navy canopy - look out for the sign on the gable wall as you come up the street.


Inside, the space is divided into two rooms - if you come in the back entrance from the car park, you'll go through a small home and lifestyle shop, ideal for browsing either before or after you sample the café's delights. To the front, the café is smart and contemporary.


The philosophy here is admirable – the best local, Irish, seasonal, free-range, organic, ingredients are used where possible, and suppliers and producers credited on the menu include O’Neill’s Bacon, Butler’s Family Farm, Stafford’s Butchers Enniscorthy, The Veg Patch Ferns, Fairfield Milk, Ballycross Apple Farm, and Millstream Fishmongers Enniscorthy - a great cross section of the very best that's available locally.


The café serves 3FE coffee, loose-leaf teas and a range of seasonal dishes made in their kitchen daily. There’s a  bit of an unusual twist with some of the menus – breakfast includes a Wexford rarebit on sourdough, for example, also ricotta pancakes and avocado with poached egg. This tone continues through lunch with items like Indian spiced chicken kebab or perhaps an open sandwich with hummus. Salads and quiches supplement the specials board.


Children are well looked after with their own lunch and brunch menus. During the day, there are some treats such as Tunisian orange cake, chocolate olive oil tart and, of course, delicious homemade scones. There’s a short wine list.


Before leaving, don't forget to take some time to look at the shop, where you can purchase homeware, kitchenware, furniture and gifts, as well as a selection of local produce including Bean+Goose chocolates, Ballycross Juices, 3FE coffee, their own jams and chutneys.


A real gem.
