About
A cosy sit-in café in the heart of Longford
Ménara Café — also listed as Menara Cafe and Le Menara — is a small coffee shop at Unit 1, Annally Court, just off Main Street.
It’s homemade food and desserts: sandwiches, soup, egg dishes, salads, savoury and sweet crêpes, and cakes made here. Locals come back for the Moroccan breakfast as well as a quiet coffee and a slice of cake.
Family-friendly, dine-in, and you can collect from the door. The room is small, clean, and looked after — the sort of place where regulars get remembered.

Excellent cafe. Cakes were nice and light, prices weren’t too dear, cafe was very clean/tidy, service was nice, good selection of savory and sweet food with some Moroccan options too.
The first time I drank a chai latte was in Menara cafe. Now I’m addicted to it and the food and sweets are a dream come true. The owner made a cake for my daughter’s birthday and it was so good that there was nothing left for home.
Beef kofta balls mkila traditional Moroccan breakfast was DELICIOUS!
