Benny’s Deli

Established in 1981, Benny's Deli is one of the most iconic bakeries in the West of Ireland. Benny’s Deli is a family-run bakery, cafe and delicatessen on Castlerea's Main Street. For over 40 years, they have been serving up freshly-baked bread, tasty sweet treats, great coffee, hearty breakfasts and delicious lunches. Starting out in 1981 with a limited menu of apple tart and brown soda bread, Benny's Deli has grown to include a café, a grocery section, a gluten-free menu, and a selection of artisan gifts. Under the stewardship of Benny's daughter, Anne Marie, the deli has gone from strength to strength in recent years. The addition of 'The Bakery Flat' - self-catering accommodation above the deli shop - has been a great success. A visit to Castlerea isn't complete without a visit to Benny's Deli! Already this year, the bakery and restaurant has been the recipient of the prestigious Best in Ireland 2022 award by McKenna's Guides.
