Fitzers Cafes, owned and run by the Fitzpatrick family, are popular eateries sited in busy city centre locations. Modern food ideas are combined with stylishly decorated bright interiors.

Not ideal for the very young, but great for teenagers who will like the casual glamour, older folk will be happy too, among the well dressed clientele.
