Reviews of Strandfield
B. K.Popular spot to stop off for a cuppa and a snack. Just off the motorway with loads of free parking. Country kitchen feel to it. Very nice deli too. Recommended
J. S.Fantastic place, great food and lovely staff. Great spot for people that travel to the north and want to get some food and coffee. Definitely come back there.
R. K.There was a bit of a queue when we went in but there were plenty of friendly staff on and the queue moved very quickly. We got the caramelised onion pizza, the brie and grape sandwich and the bruschetta. I will be back and I will be ordering all of the above again.
C. m.Hidden gem 💎 thought I'd go to heaven this place is amazing food 😋staff fab
J. M.Strandfield is located about 1 minute from exit 18 off the M1 near Dundalk, very convenient for anyone passing. Once you come off the motorway there are 2 roundabouts, and Standfield is immediately on the right after the second roundabout (watch out as the sign is not that big)
There is a short driveway up to a series of barns, cafe and the old house on the right. There is loads of parking in front of the barns, and even more if you follow the road around to the left. If you are after just coffee and cakes, you can join a much shorter queue on the right at the side of the barn. The queue for the cafe was not very long, and we were less than 10 minutes waiting to be seated. There is indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor seating is all covered and in an area the added after Covid with flowers which is very nice. Its a vegetarian café, and we had some salad and delicious pizza (really good pizza!!!). Lots of tasty cakes and the coffee was great. In one of the barns there are selling bric a brac, the same one that does the coffee. In the other building beside the café there is a florist/grocery shop.
Really nice place to stop and a have a bite to eat, friendly staff and great food.
R. G.Fabulous! Delicious food. Great service. Safe and following covid guidelines. Clean bathroom facilities. Beautiful range of foods, goods, plants, antiques for sale. Plenty of free parking.
e. c.Every time we've been to this hidden gem the food has been fab, the relaxing atmosphere & the great staff make the whole experience wonderful. Quirky decor & a great little shop to pick up some odds & bobs. Love it.
B. R.Once you try their egg stack or baked eggs you'll never look at any other eggs in your life. And good news is, you can get the eggs also in the shop for a little Strandfield quality in your own home :) and the veg!!! After the scromptious breakfast there I do my weekly shoppig of all sots of veg. All fresh, all responsibly farmed and tasty as heck!! ❤ ps. Still loving it!
J. Z.A cozy place loved by the locals.
Can be crowded on the weekends.
t. m. c.Beautiful freshly cooked foods and baked goods. The only thing I could complain about is the seating , the chairs and rickety and afraid that they would give way. I tried several but were the same.
F. E.I really loved visiting this cafe - it’s fresh, open, healthy and feels friendly too. The staff were lovely and the veggie food options were really great! They make a great oat milk hot chocolate btw :)
D. R.Quite genuinely our favourite shop in Ireland. Coffee is spectacularly good, the food, cakes too - the food hall is just unreal. And the florist... here's this week's haul of amazing flowers! :)
C. A.Delicious food and lovely staff, thoroughly enjoyed our first visit and will be back again.
O. C.Very unique and very busy when i visited. I would recommend that it's worth a try if your looking for that something different. I met up with friends and we all enjoyed.
M.Great fresh food. It could be 1 or 2 euro cheaper but it's worth to pay it for quality vegetarian food. My favourites are quiche, shakshuka, goats cheese and beetroot salad
J. L.Great place for a coffee or lunch with either indoors or outdoor seating. Covid measures in place.
Extensive range of deli goods and superb fresh fruit and veg. They even sell honey from their own bees!!
Young children will enjoy seeing the chickens, goats and horses.
Great range of plants and containers.
Exclusive skincare and clothing for sale.
Friendly staff.
L. M.Really good café with excellent pizzeria. Nice gift shop attached-albeit a little over priced. Smaller coffee counter with traditional 99 cones on offer. Very pleasant toilet facilities. Overall, top class venue well worth a visit!
C. R.I Recently had lunch at Strandfield, and found the Whole experience Absolutely Wonderful ! All the food was delicious, served promptly by very friendly, polite staff, and very well priced.
We sat outside and we're able to enjoy the beautiful surroundings, with the huge variety of different plants etc., It's Definitely somewhere I'll be going back to, Soon !
J. M. W.This is a wonderful place for take away coffee and cakes or pizza and plants or flowers. The garden is glorious
D. A.Large outdoor area, vegetarian, seems to promote sustainable farming. I didn't personally like what I ordered but the food quality seemed good. Staff were slightly dour but it was very busy.
I would definitely go again, but order something different. My impression is the experience would be as good if not better.
J. K. (.Very busy and loud but good food and Coffee. Beautiful flowers and healthy food to buy, fresh and hot sourdough bread!
J. H.This place is absolutely stunning. It is like a living, breathing entity in which almost everything is for sale. Every time you walk into Strandfield, it looks different. With the most beautiful antiques & ornaments, you'll want to furnish your entire home from the treasures you find here. Gorgeous produce available to take home, and an incredible variety in the organic grocer. As a Nutritionist from Canada, I was worried that I wouldn't be able to source all the alternatives that had become an integral part of my diet - but Strandfield has just about everything (and more). The cafe has a lovely assortment of sweets & scones, there is always a delicious pot of soup on, and the pizza's are to die for. This is the perfect place to bring any out-of-town guests - the ambiance of Strandfield is so unique, it is unlike any other.
S. M.Great food. Fab setting. Lovely to see all the free range hand enjoying life. Interesting shop.
F. F.Great place, excellent vegetarian food and coffee. Very nice shop for groceries, vintage items and organic products. Pizza is amazing and staff is friendly.
L. H.A great place for to stop for a coffe, and the staff has always treated me well. Also this has become my one stop shop for flowers. Their are some great view and the just a grea overall great place to come with friends or family!
R. H.Adore everything about this place except- very few vegan options for a vegetarian cafe 🤔
A. E.Lovely place. Nice food. They served us so fast. Healthy and tasty salads. Amazing Green Man pizza (coocked in stone oven). Ask for the quiches! They're really good. Very romantic place. Highly recommended.
L. P.Lovely food, atmosphere and helpful friendly staff. The lovely shop and flowers all make it a great place to visit
M. M.Great food. Very clean and tables well spaced out. Lovely staff.
J. K.Loved this place. Food was so tasty. The pizza was so good. All the food looked really good. It was busy but service was still quick. I also like the rustic decor.
A. F.Amazing place,food absolutely delicious lovely cozy atmosphere ❤
C. M.Delicious food, mostly vegetarian which is inspiring and refreshing. Delivered in a spectacularly repurposed building with delightful staff. Gorgeous flowers and great foodie larder treats.
H. A.One of the best spot. Amazing stuff and quality healthy food
s. t.Went for coffee there this morning.
Easy, quick & efficient. Clean & lovely atmosphere. We'll worth a visit.
S. C.Beautiful place, busy but always has a seats. Fresh, farm food. And coffee is amazing!
C. K.Its the busiest coffee shop these parts. That is because the food is so tasty, freshly laid eggs, and artisan bread. Coffee and service is excellent. No wonder it's so busy.
i. l.A quirky veggie, always stop here enroute to Dublin/Airport
Breaks the journey up and worth the 2 min diversion.
M. T.Pretty. Very pretty. Place, food, the staff. :P
Delicious food.
Do check the board for daily specials.
If you want to avoid standing in queue and the crowd, go on a weekday.
Examples of what you can have here - polenta, eggs, pizza, porridge, dal(!), granola, lentil soup, salads.
The florist is also a must visit on it's own. Sells fresh produce, flowers, gorgeous bread, organic food ingredients ( was surprised to find very good organic kimchi and Irish seaweed)
Fireplace, wooden tables, beautiful seating outside with a view of mountains and farmland.
Efficient, helpful staff that never stop smiling even during the busiest of times.
Very nice selection of teas and desserts.
Expensive? A bit. But absolutely worth it.
c. o. s.Love this place, fabulous food. Bit chaotic last weekend. Hard to get a table, wait on food and drinks, and eat while its still hot.( Covid dining) Well Worth a visit though.
C. K.Interesting, quirky place. Nice food and farm shop. Very expensive overall. Bring plenty off euros if you visit.!
A. M. E.Always top class food and service. Beautiful grounds and love a little look around their shop after I have lunch
L.Very convenient, 200 m, to M1. Great vegetarian menu. Currently (June 21) outdoor dining only in covered areas, can be a bit windy at times.
W. S.Strandfield produces consistent high quality food ,staff are very friendly ,surroundings are buzzy,trendy and very comfortable.
Love this place .❤
L. M. C.Lots of space for covered outdoor dining, very popular spot only a few hundred metres from M1. I've been here a few times food and staff have always been very good. Lifestyle shopping also available.
C. A.Really delicious food, busy spot though.
P. M.As usual the food was marvellous.
Quality, quantity and value for money were 1st rate.
D. M.Lovely place to have lunch, there are covered areas to sit even if it's raining
M. C.Just love this place staff are fab .Food is beautiful..surroundings is fantastic
M. B.The most wonderful place to stop off on your way to Dublin or just one-off visit. Fabulous food, very hospitable and friendly staff. Have gone there regularly for the last 5 years and the food is terrific - it is getting a little pricey though but I expect that is the cost of Covid. Very safe and the new addition of a 'wild garden ' where the car park used to be is FABULOUS!!!!
(surprised that they don't stock Vogels natural remedies as they seem to have everything else!!)
F. J.Awesome place for a brunch. Grocery store is great as well. Food is delicious for a fair price. I totally recommend it.
V. K.I love the food. And all the teamwork are great. I got flowers 💐 and they flowers are great 👍
C. M.Bit expensive , food is good, coffee is OK .... sitting outside having a cuppa listening to the birds with a fab scenery it's worth it.
M.Really lovely food but a bit pricey
A. M.The coffee is amazing.
Really good and the scones are fresh and tasty.
Even though Im a meat eater - the food here is really tasty. Love going here for breakfast or lunch
B. T.Food on point, products premium assortment. sourdough bread, friendly staff and benches outside roofed or open air.
N. D.Lovely place to visit. Quirky and exceptional. Great food with multiple choice, for the vegetarian 😁
L. D. C.Love to go there it's just there price's is a wee bit overrated breakfast for two people it's €34 😥
J. M.Beautiful food and hot chocolate in the most stunning setting.
H. m.Great food, dos get very busy tho.
r. w.Superb!! Very busy and lots of outdoor seating. Fine warm weather added to our excellent experience at Strandfield house today. Loo/for ladies/spotless. Coffee was good. Calm atmosphere even though it was extremely busy. Staff on all doors to help with take out or seated custom. Well done. I will recommend to any friends coming to this area, name for it is Oriel.
S. H.As much as I love meat, I must say their food is delicious. On top of that, it is not only a cafe, but a very special agricultural place with a home-like, welcoming atmosphere, amazing👍
l. w.Excellent natural home cooking in a fabulous rural setting
D. D.Lovely gardens, little animal farm, loads of space for kids run around. Lovely Vegetarian food
G. T.Great atmosphere and really superior coffee.
l. d.Lovely location. Coffee and cake excellent. Lots of seating outside too.
É. M.Excellent place for buying plants and getting coffee, some of the sandwiches are overpriced.
m. g.Coffee and cake were great and staff were really friendly
T. O.Love the changes that the owners have made, much better parking and road surface,floral garden infront of the dining room, and yes it's still very busy, service has improved greatly, food is still very good, excellent choices and all served with a smile. Social distancing could be improved at the till. Prices are a little on the expensive side, both in the shop and café.
C. G.Great place x eat and buy a few gifts
P. O. C.Great spot for breakfast. Nice atmosphere.
g. 7.The food is delish here been a few times now ,nice feel and ambience about the place,only gripes are cutlery is brutal (will bring own next time)nearly tin foil quality! And coffee is far too hot got it couple of times now always piping,note to barista ,coffee not meant to be that hot! That is all!
S. R.Food was excellent. Lovely shopping area also which offers great food products, beauty products clothes, plants, houseware, quite unique.
S. H.Beautiful place
M. P.Awesome spot off motorway. Very tasty food mainly vege. Beautiful inside.
B. D.Went to buy their great sourdough bread . Coffee great also in a very pleasant place . Staff are very good
J. L. S.Classy pit stop for the Dublin-Belfast travellers ! Excellent breakfast and bakery! Their sourdough margherita was a pleasant surprise !
R. Q.Visited on a Sunday afternoon, Long queue but staff coped well with numbers. Great ambience and delicious food. Would definitely come again. Toilets outdoors and separate from dining area, they were exceptionally clean.
A. S.We were given this place as a recommendation. Gutted to find out it was vegetarian but stopped off anyway. Such a lovely and very busy cafe. Food was delicious, pots of tea were big, toilets were clean. We aren't vegetarian but we would go back 😁
B. M.First feeling of normal since lockdown so overall a positive experience. Had a delicious sandwich. In terms of attending to new hygiene requirements probably could have been more on top of sanitizing tables... we brought our own alcohol wipes and did it ourselves. And staff were on top of each other at the till... No masks, no 2m.
R. K.The food was absolutely perfect, served quickly and could not fault any of it. Unfortunately, there was a complete lack of COVID measures. No tables were blocked off or properly spaced to ensure customers could distance. We sat to the only free table that still had a previous customer's tray on it, which a staff member promptly removed without ever returning to even wipe the table. None of the many staff members were wearing masks and given the open plan layout, we could easily view them unable to socially distance from each other as they worked. It was extremely busy, so while the food was amazing, we couldn't help but feel uneasy.
D. E.Always enjoy coming here. It’s such a gem and delicious food. Hazelnut cake is ace!
A. H.Fabulous restaurant, delicious vegeratine meals served, staff very helpful and friendly. Lots of free parking. They also have a lovely flower shop and grocery shop. A fabulous experience even if you just want a delicious coffee. Would highly recommend.
N. T.This is a garden centre which in itself is well worth a visit. In the cafeteria the food is cooked and served very quickly. It is well cooked, prepared and served in a very efficient manner. We were very happy with our visit and if possible will return. My thanks to the cook.
k. z.A must stop hidden gem. Well designed cafe serving coffee tray bakes and a small lunch menu; a few items done well. Shop attached has loads of quirky items and hard to source foods. Service was quick and with a smile. Everything was delicious. Highly recommended!
d. g.Excellent spot for lunch and coffee, have wood fired pizza, also serving soft serve ice cream! Plenty of outside seating
D. M. K.Great place for vegans and gardeners alike.
R. F.Lovely place , great shop, nice restaurant. One complaint, i would really like to see more sweet things without nuts.I have a nut intolerance and i had flourless chocolate cake , quite dry
The banana cake looked delicious but unfortunately nuts again.It might be an idea to have it without it.There are so many people now with nut allergies, it would definitely improve the the otherwise beautiful place
M. F.Nice location, pretty comfy and warm.
I've been there on a Sunday, pretty crowded but I could find a seat without any problems.
Staff was pretty kind.
My negative point goes to organization, staff usually wanders around tables with no idea where to go, the brownie I've ordered has been on a tour of the tables for like 10 mins before coming to my table .
I've paid for some additional mushrooms on my avocado toast and never received them, as was overcrowded and staff was running to one table to other I decided not to complain.
I will probably avoid next time and choose a better organized service.
R. N.Very nice atmosphere, very good food
m. r.Brilliant place ~ Dog friendly 😁😁
C. K.Really nice place to go and food is excellent. I had the Kale Pizza and it was very tasty and you never feel rushed or under pressure to vacate your table or to enjoy your meal. Outdoor decor is deceptively rustic, but the ambiance inside is really nice.
A. B.Good service, would be great to be able to dine inside again .
R. M.Very good spot and I love the location and food is delicious and is quickly served. However I'm writing from a COVID-19 perspective and visited the other day to have lunch and the place was jam packed. The shop was so busy and although I had my mask on I was hesitant to go in. No other customers had their masks on and were touching fresh bread and putting it back etc. The restaurant was jammed with a queue and no one wearing masks including staff. I was quite shocked and disappointed considering we're seeing an increase in cases still. Unfortunately I had to leave because it was so overcrowded and I felt too uncomfortable considering we're still experiencing COVID-19. It's great when it's quiet but I don't want to take a risk unfortunately unless measures are put in place.
A. D.Have visited strand fields many times. Just love everything about this place. OK the menu maybe not suit everyone but that's the lovely thing about it, it's so different. If you would like fish and chips or a fry drive to dundalk, carlingford or newry. Plenty cafes there serving the likes. The ambience of the whole place is a tonic. Strand fields don't ever change what you are doing. Ten out of ten
D. B.Strandfield oozes goodness. Baristas who serve up great coffee every time! Delicious food & cakes... yummy pizzas freshly made in their pizza oven, toasted egg stack sambo with Hegarty's cheese, sorrel rice bowls are just a few examples of the offerings. All in a beautiful country setting, you can sit inside or out. There's an exceptional collection of food stuffs in their shop too which just seems to continuously get better and better.
L. M.A bit hit and miss. The yolks of my eggs were so overdone they were chalky. I never find the staff particularly warm either. Love the concept — it has so much potential but the reality is always a bit of a letdown.
S. E.Love this place. Great food and coffee, and a lovely atmosphere (pre covid-19)
S. G.Great food, great atmosphere and lots of interesting things to buy. It is getting extremely crowded now though
D.My first visit, pleasantly surprised, expensive but lovely staff and beautiful surroundings
R. G.Excellent setting for the cafe and the food is good. Service is a bit manic with so many patrons queuing at once. Waiters forgot to bring down our drinks. Would recommend
K. C.Gorgeous food and setting
P. C.Wow what a great place!
Organic quality shop &
Vegetarian cafe to die for!
A fussy wife, girls 11 & 13 with me.
I didn't even know it was a veggie place when we were looking at the menu!
(I don't normally go for big fattie Irish fries)
And l was more than happy with the organic healthy choices.
available.
Stop here and you will not regret it!
They deserve to be appreciated 👌
F. F.A great place in which organic food is served. I truly recommend it.
D. K.Beautiful freshly cooked vegetarian food on offer hear. Delicious cakes and coffee too. The staff are very friendly and helpful. One of my favourite places to have lunch, coffee or brunch at the weekends and I'm far from a vegetarian. They also have a flower shop and am artisan market shop too. Can be very busy but we were never unable to find a seat. Well worth a visit.
R. A.The place itself is cosy and charming, in an old farm I think. The staff is friendly and the prices are ok, you can get stuff from the bar and also buy produce and flowers. There is ample parking and places to sit outside. Only 4 stars because the coffee is nothing special and the cookie was just average, nice ambient.
C. S.Great place for brunch. The French Toast is very nice. Super busy on Sundays with long queues but worth waiting. Family environment, a regular stop for road cycling enthusiasts. Good amount of parking in the property.
N. T.This restaurant, garden centre and store is fantastic hidden gem that's a little out of the way. They have plenty of sweet treats, excellent coffee & hot drinks. They do excellent gluten free options and the French toast is amazing. Highly recommended.
B. S.Great food, great staff
J. M.Never got a bad meal in here, the little shop is cool lots of organic products
Well worth a visit
M. D.Comfortable restaurant open kitchen, very good food, Healthy options, freshly made cakes and Pizza. Worth a visit would recommend, nice location, has shop alongside restaurant, florist, freshly baked bread, organic section Pleasant staff, good service, all signs of a well run restaurant, clean. Will revisit in the future.
H. B.Absolute hidden gem.
Food, farm shop, florist. It really has it all.
The food is just amazing. So flavoursome and wholesome. They also serve one of the nicest lattes I have had, even if they only sold coffee I would still drive out to them for it.
I honestly couldn't recommend this place enough, whether you are catching up with friends, want a bit of down time, just want to grab a healthy and delicious bite to eat it's the place to go. Definitely worth a visit. It does get quite busy at lunch time, but that's just a testament to how fab it is.
E. W.Great buzz. Pizza was lovely, sandwiches fresh and tasty. Slight mix up with order. Cream for scones sour 😯 although in their favour it was a very warm day...
A. H.Delicious food served in a warm, welcoming atmosphere.
S. J. G.Love this little hidden gem, amazing vegetarian & vegan treats, wouldn't even miss meat on the menu. The French toast is amazing!! A must try!
A. C.Glad to see they are complying to Covid -19 contract tracing Guidelines. Beautiful food and setting. There flowers and shrubs are fabulous.
C. G.Great food. Very quaint surroundings and a lovely quirky shop to browse through. Lovely home made bread, sauces on sale as well as flowers and a great variety of old and new items. Would highly recommend a visit.
t. C.Fantastic food in a lovely setting. The Shaksuka is bloody amazing, the salads are awesome, the staff are really helpful, in fact, I cant recommend this place highly enough. 5 stars all day.
E. F.Couldn't ask for a nicer setting, beautiful view of the mountains behind and surrounds. Food was limited but good (all vegetarian) and great stuff on sale for the health conscious and antique lovers alike. Definitely recommend and will return.
D. R.Busy, vibrant casual dining venue, mix of traditional and contemporary food, suitable for all ages. Lively venue. Small gardening shop and quality food ingredients shop, very big dining area, nice outdoor dining area. Located just off Junction 18 at the start of the m1 southbound.
D. L.Fabulous, the best coffee in Ireland. Really warm atmosphere in quirky surroundings & great for children with lots of books, toys & crayons to divert the most fidgety child. Lovely vegetarian soups, salads & specials. The cakes & pastries are out of this world...real quality. The adjoining shop & florist is splendid, also a range of health foods, supplements, drinks. Fresh fruit & vegetables. Currently they have great Easter eggs & novelties in stock. We even got to feed the hens that produce the free-kick range eggs!
T. C.It's a nice place to get a light lunch or a homemade cake or bun and beverages.You can purchase local organic products. You can also purchase plants, garden ornaments and furniture, but it's pricey.
T. O.Just had breakfast here. one of my favourite places to eat, also the outside is well worth a look, love the new wall and garden.
c. e. r.Fantastic experience the best choice for a coffee
J. G.Always enjoy this place. It gets very busy but the food is great and the atmosphere lovely. Well furnished and today the stove was lit so there was lovely heat on a damp day.
J. N.Best coffee and food around!!
A. B.Egg stack will set you up for the day followed by a delicious coconut macaroon! Amazing coffee too
E. S.A vegetarian cafe-cum-garden centre. Lovely fresh++ salads, pizzas, soups, tea & coffee, etc. Today had the best minestrone soup in years. Lovely. Browsed the deli/flower/gift shop then outside to the garden plants, etc. Love Strand Hill.
K. W.Nice place to stop for breakfast
M. M.One of Dundalk's most popular eateries, but vegetarian only. When you arrive, it's like walking into a bazaar, but the staff are friendly, and the food is really tasty. Expect it to be busy and loud, but well worth your time.
A. D.Love this place.could spend hours browsing around. Beautiful flowers..Lovely food. Everyone so pleasant. Everyone is more than helpful. Definitely give it 10 out of 10.
R. M. E.Busy place but lovely, healthy, fresh menu choices but limited mainly eggs which i love but if allergic to eggs not the place to go. Staff lovely, choice of indoor or outdoor seating, lovely spot !
J. M. L.What a find. All Veggie and all totally delicious
k. o.Such a beautiful place to visit. From gifts beautiful flowers and arrangement to beautiful food. Val is amazing and the knowlege he knows about flowers is incredible. We would be lost without him. Always delight to visit.keep up the good wrk to all the team at strandfield.
M. A.Treasure of a find. Such a dinky place. Fantastic fresh produce, breads, flowers, plants, crafted goods, candles among other beautiful and varied gifts. The café onsite was absolutely chocablock, with people still queuing. There was a large varied menu, and it was evident everyone was thoroughly enjoying their food. A must visit.
S. R.Cakes are lovely, the Americano coffee anemic though. Place is quirky and nice to drop in after hiking in the Cooley mountains. However, it's pretty cold in there. Gift shop heavily overpriced, but buy their bread loafs - really nice ones.
e. m.Lovely place, really nicely designed. Food was lovely. It was a Saturday afternoon and service was slow - finiished coffee before my sandwich arrived. They weren't able to handle the crowd.
a. b.great food in a lovely setting
c. M.A bit over priced but very well run and great food. Shame a triple shot cap cost 4.00 euros
J. Y.Beautiful freshly baked breads and cakes! Fabulous surroundings!
j. w.Amazing little hidden gem great coffee and food is top class too
D. R.Very tastful place with with a beautiful range of organic produce. Fantastic food. very relaxing with a euro/international feel. Great organic coffee here.
M. M. M.I have somewhat mixed views on Strandfield, which shouldn't take away from its good points. I pop out to it every so often for coffee and cake, and wouldn't continue to do so, unless it appealed to me. Strandfield is located just north of Dundalk, and is easily accessible either off the M1 motorway, or off the Inner Relief Road. It is nestled in a nice area away from the passing traffic. It has the quaint appearance of an old Farmhouse that has been retro fitted with lots of glass frontage, which is nice for both those looking in, and those looking out. There is a gravel parking area, which at times is not large enough for the amount of cars in attendance, and you sometimes get people parking poorly, reducing again the availability.
Strandfield is kind of like a cafe with a shop area and a small garden centre, with the cafe area taking up the largest part. It has indoor and outdoor seating. Queues can be very long at peak times, especially on Saturday's and Sunday's when the weather is good. Thankfully, there has always been plenty of staff when I have been here, and every member of staff I have ever dealt with, has been pleasant and very helpful.
The only small drawback on the restaurant for me, is that there menu is very limited, with no meat or fish dishes. I don't know why, and although they have a great selection of other options, it's still something I would like to see.
As regards the food they do have on offer, it is great. For me it's a little bit pricey, but the environment, the good service, and the quality of the food, definitely make up for that.
The shop area has a host of fresh and packed goods, many of the healthy eating variety. Some can be expensive enough, but most are what you would expect to pay anywhere else. I think there are definitely some things that you would have to travel some distance to find.
My memory may be skewed slightly with age, but I don't think the Garden Centre portion of Strandfield, is as extensive as it used to be, which is unfortunate. Having said that, there is still a range of plants and shrubs available, that would suit most gardens.
All in all, while my review may seem mixed, it doesn't take away from the fact that I would recommend that you visit Strandfield. It's a lovely place, and while limited in what it offers, what it does offer, is of great quality.
R. A. M.Nice place for lunch. Very busy, but served quickly and no feeling of being rushed. Vegetarian menu, with good varied choice.
N. U. L.Fabulous breakfast there
A. D.It's also a cafe with fabulous fresh organic food which is very reasonably priced. The staff are lovely. They have a plant and flower section with beautiful healthy looking plants flowers and shrubs
B. S.Great place and busy but quick service and loved the new outdoor area well done 👏👏👏didn't get into the shop which I absolutely love 💖
m.Delicious! Absolute must go if you're in the Dundalk area, this place does excellent vegetarian and is such a delight to visit every time.
p. G.Absolutely fabulous place hope to come back again soon.
M. S.Fabulous food and coffee love the plants
N. M.Went hear before and food was delicious, but was disappointed on my second trip to discover that they wouldn't cook my favourite dish as it was a Saturday. Staff were friendly, but I won't be back any time soon.
D. K.Perfect
Great food
L. G.First time there
I thought that the food was beautiful. Staff helpful and rest rooms very clean.
Worth another visit.
C. M. G.A great cafe to potter and ponder
Built as part of a gardening store, Strandfield has become a popular coffee and cake spot especially on weekends. During the late summer, the back doors are open across the wheat and barley fields and the flowers make the venue when in full bloom. Take a spin in and while away a few hours
A. G.Wonderful experience. Great shop and cafe. Best customer service I've seen anywhere. Pity I don't live closer.
H. L.Best florist I've come across in Ireland!! nothing dull or the standard florist fill you get in some places...great use of colour and fabulous mix of greens with flowers.
T. Y.One of the best cafes in Ireland👍 nice food, big bright windows, great vibes. Will definitely visit again ❤️
S. F.Nice place, however the food is very over priced for what it is. Good place for vegans and veggies but for those who like meat, there's nothing on the menu.
C. D.Lovely place and delicious food. Everything was very fresh.
M. S.So beautiful place to relax. Lovely food, very good coffee and great local shop. Amazing!
