But seeing that's (as per November 2016) closed until further notice we had to look for an alternative for our coffee. Glad we came here. Lovely staff, some nice treats and the upstairs seating, which is actually over several levels is nicely decorated - country like. As it was a rainy day I went for their hot chocolate which was just devine and also had a lemon drizzle cupcake that I really enjoyed. So I'll definitely will be back for more.

This place is relatively new and if your in Dun laoghrie it's most definitley worth a visit if your…read morepeckish. Its an all glass restaurant built from red brick. It overlooks the peoples park and in the near distance, the sea. I went there for Christmas lunch with my family and it was a great lunch and I have absolutely zero complaints about the food quality, it was top nosh! The reason it loses a couple stars though are because the menu is very small and limited so you can't be a picky eater, luckily I eat everything but that's not the case for a lot of others. The fact that it's made from redbrick and glass also means that it's very very loud inside with everyone talking as it doesn't absorb any sound and it just bounces around the room, very hard to hear your own conversation. And my final complaint / warning is that the ginger beer they serve has a lot more ginger in it than you might expect, it's flavored naturally with powder ginger and really gives you a kick, so beware! Apart from a couple things if your looking for a decent place to eat, it really stands out over everywhere else in Dun laoghrie and the price is very moderate too!

Newly opened in Dalkey in a spot that past restaurants never have survived. Here's hoping this one…read moredoes! Went on a Monday at about 7pm. When we arrived it was fairly empty, however as we ate it started to fill and by the time we were done the place was nearly full. I decided to go for one of my favourite and simple combos: wings and sweet potato fries. Wasn't disappointed. Really nicely done, plenty of food and could even share a few spares with the rest of the table to try. My friends ordered the burger, halloumi tacos and jerk chicken salad. All were very happy with their choices too. Next time I'll be checking out the cheeseburger spring rolls - sound intriguing! Lovely, friendly and chatty staff. There wasn't many on the floor but didn't have any issue getting their attention when needed and service was pretty quick. The only thing I was disappointed about was the lack of beer selection. From what I recall there was only Heineken and Tiger. I was really surprised to see a new restaurant, especially a modern style one with bespoke cocktails, lacking a range of craft beers. Not even one! If they owners are reading this review.. I'm happy to recommend some for you ;)

The teeny tiny town was about a mile away and had a couple pubs which was surprising considering most towns in Ireland have the streets dotted with pubs. The hotel and locals said go to The Magpie and we did and had a great meal. The portions were humongous and we ordered way too much food. Of course we had to try the local version of the seafood chowder which did not disappoint as it was loaded with tons of seafood. We also got a seafood linguine. When you're surrounded by the ocean you always go for seafood! At least we do.

Excited to try the Parmesan and truffle oil chips but the chips arrived hot but soggy/soft. Oh…read morewell. Likely it was since the kitchen just opened that the oil wasn't hot enough or the chips were put into the oil still frozen/cool. So while the chips flavor was spot on this is more of a glitch than consistent problem. The the crab and crawfish cakes came out and they were cooked perfectly and very tasty. It was a light lunch as my friend and I shared the chips as a starter and then ordered starters for our meals. It was more than enough . The restaurant has a great view of the intersection and the shops looking towards Dalkey Castle. Inside it was clean and spacious as the tables were spaced apart to feel not close.

I'm not as used to the Mediterranean version of the dish, but it's hearty and delicious.

If I still lived in Celbridge, this is definitely somewhere I'd be frequenting a lot more.. eh.. frequently..!!! Or maybe it's the lack of online presence?! I can't find anything about the cafe on the Castletown House website for example?! Why?! So here's what ye do. Go for a whopper walk up along the river, go over to the obelisk and imagine what it would have been like to have been hanging out with the Connolys and Johnathan Swifts and the likes, get a bitta wind in your hair, then get yourself over into the Courtyard Cafe in the grounds of the wonderful Castletown House, and get the warmth back in you. Get a nice sambo or hot meal and a lovingly made hot chocolate and cake to finish. You'll walk home with a spring in your step, guaranteed.
