The fantastic location on Nugent Street just off bustling Market Square has lots of nearby parking. The premises is just a short stroll from the town centre as well as local bus stops and the train station. Name Agapé (Pronounced 'A-GAP-AY') comes from the Greek meaning Unconditional Love. The early Christians once used it as their name for "Love Feast" "We eat to only appease our hunger, we drink only so much as it is good for our temperate to do so" Menu Agapé has a vastly extensive menu of Soups, Sandwiches, Ciabattas and Salads, to suit every taste and style. Tanya uses her culinary flair to add a creative twist to lots of new and traditional dishes.
