Contrabando Cafe

We loved our visit last night after a late evening on Velvet Strand, it really finished off our day. Delicious pizza& wine l, lovely atmosphere, warm and welcoming and friendly staff. What more could you want? Thank you and see you soon

Super impressed with the pizzas. Will definitely return. Probably the nicest pizza we've tasted in Ireland. White wine lovely too. Slightly expensive for pizzas other than margarita.

Nine, small cosy place with amazing coffee and it’s opened late! It is so hard to find good coffee places opened late, so this is true gem!

Great authentic romana pizza, bursting with flavour. We talked to the new owner Nico for a while after we had our food, really nice atmosphere in the place now after the name change & new managment. I will definitely be back soon

Best café/bar around by a mile! Such a warm welcoming atmosphere Nico has created, with genuinely kind and friendly staff. We love sitting at the bar with a coffee or glass of wine. Paninis and pizzas are delicious and breakfast options are fresh and healthy. There is no place like it in Dublin

The “Contrabando Café” is a beautiful bar/pub. The service was lovely, and all the staff were extremely nice. My girlfriend and I had the espresso — it was great. If you’re ever in Portmarnock, I definitely recommend trying their espresso.

At Contrabando Café in Portmarnock, friendship feels as warm as the oven that brings their wonderful pizzas to life. Nicola and Selene welcome you with a sincerity that turns a simple visit into a moment of comfort and joy. Their super pizza tastes like tradition and home, each bite full of care and sunshine. The super wines glow like small treasures, each glass deepening conversation and softening the world around you. At Contrabando Café, you don’t just eat. You belong. You laugh, you share, and you leave carrying a little more warmth in your heart than when you arrived.

I visited this lovely café with my friend and it was a wonderful experience. The gentleman and the lady at the counter were incredibly kind and welcoming. Their warm and friendly nature truly added to the charm of the place. I ordered a bruschetta and a latte, and both were absolutely delicious. The bruschetta was fresh and full of flavor, while the latte was perfectly made. It’s always a pleasure to find a place with great food and even better hospitality. I’ll definitely be coming back!
