Our Story
FarÂmÂgate was estabÂlished when MarĂłg OâBrien opened her restauÂrant and counÂtry store in MidleÂton, Co. Cork in 1984. Ten years later MarĂłgâs sisÂter Kay joined her, and so the CafĂ© in the EngÂlish MarÂket in Cork city cenÂtre was creÂated. FarÂmÂgate CafĂ© is located in the heart of Irelandâs oldÂest and most hisÂtoric food marÂket, with an indusÂtriÂous excitÂing view overÂlookÂing stalls and felÂlow traders. The CafĂ©, which in 2019 celÂeÂbrated 25 years at the EngÂlish MarÂket, embraces much of what is unique and traÂdiÂtional to Cork, along with new influÂences in this dynamic mulÂtiÂculÂtural food marÂket and port city.
