Straffan Courtyard, also known as Straffan Antiques & Design, is the most wonderful place to visit…read morefor a good day out. It is right there in Barberstown crossroads, almost equal distance from Maynooth, Clane and Celbridge and very close to Straffan village. As you drive in through the gates, park on the left and amble in, you will see that this place is a feast for the eyes - almost like a tiny village but in a courtyard setting. Beautifully restored old outhouse buildings contain a whole host of shops, including a huge antiques section of 18th and 19th century period furniture, ceramics, silver and fine art. A fantastic home and gift shop with modern country style furniture, lighting, pictures and tons of gifts of various descriptions - you will not be short of ideas or choice here! There is also a gorgeous fashion shop, with a large selection of ladies casuals and accessories from a host of Irish designers, including some lovely jewellery, hats, cashmere and silks, as well as a huge selection of vintage clothing, hats and jewellery. Plus, I noticed they have now add a selection of smart casual menswear. When you have finished browsing and shopping - which will certainly take some time as there is such a lot to see - drop into the wonderful Victorian Tearooms, also in the courtyard, for a cup of freshly brewed coffee, some delicious cakes and pastries or a light lunch. So, if you fancy an afternoon's drive, I would highly recommend that you drop into the Straffan Courtyard, which is only a short distance and easy to find from both the N4 and the N7 and trust me, you will not be disappointed.

Vegetarian café with great food and ambiance (4.5/5 Green Stars)…read more We stopped here en route to Carlingford on a friend's recommendation and all three of us were very happy we did. The place is lovely - the café is filled with light and plants and the surroundings are beautiful. Mum is a picky eater but she relished the mushroom quiche and finished the entire piece even though it was huge! (Seriously - about three times the size of portions elsewhere.) My brother loved his herbed rice bowl and I liked the organic porridge with fruit and the pistachio plum cake. The only kink was that several items arrived much later than the food - the coffees, bread, and honey for my porridge (I had already finished my porridge by then). The store is filled with great stuff - fresh fruit and veg, and a good selection of some of the most ethical products. Weirdly, the Strandfield website contains no info other than an address, so you have to rely on reviews to get info in advance. The lunch menu is mostly comprised of sourdough pizza, salads (including a quinoa bowl and herbed rice bowl), and sandwiches - see menu photo. There are also lots of bakery items, including freshly baked scones, cakes and wheaten bread (which was really good - I bought one to take home). I'm giving Strandfield café 4.5 out of 5 Green Stars for social and environmental impact, for these reasons: · I didn't actually notice at the time but the menu is 100% vegetarian! · Strandfield uses free range eggs from their own farm. · My porridge was made with organic oats · Flowers and plants in the café come from Stranfield's own nursery · The grocer sources local and organic fruits and vegetables along free range eggs, and organic health foods · The store stocks a really good selection of ethical goods - I could do most of my shopping here if I lived here. · Strandfield would benefit from providing more info (on the website or menu) on ingredient sourcing.
