Urru Culinary Store

This younger sister to the Bandon original (see entry) is tucked into a small courtyard just off the main street and this gem of a place is run on the same lines - bright and busy, it's a mix of all good things: fresh local foods, excellent coffees, olive oils, spices, a small kitchen equipment section, good quality book section, quality wines...and there are a few tables to relax and have coffee along with some excellent snacks.
