Beaufields Mews Restaurant & Gardens

Dublin’s oldest restaurant is located in a characterful 18th century coach house and stables - and, as the name implies, it is surrounded by beautiful mature gardens, which are lit up by night. It is in a built-up area and near a busy road yet, with its mature trees, spacious surroundings and old-fashioned feeling in both the buildings and gardens, you could be forgiven for thinking you have been mysteriously transported to the country - there’s even an antique shop where guests are encouraged to have a browse (Open 3-9pm).

In 2007 the Cox family who have owned and run Beaufield Mews for over 50 years surprised everyone by doing a revamp, changing the traditional, old-fashioned restaurant into a sophisticated contemporary one, with modern décor and furnishings. But, as original features like wooden beams, old heavy latch doors and bare brick walls have been retained, the end result isn’t too much of a shock and the concensus is that it still has plenty of character.

Atmosphere really is the trump card at this legendary restaurant - even the complimentary flowers on tables are from their own gardens - and, although a Mediterranean style buffet is a less traditional option, the cooking style and courteous service are in tune with the old-fashioned surroundings.

A good wine list includes a specially imported champagne, which is very reasonably priced. There’s a choice of churches nearby (Catholic and Church of Ireland), and wedding blessings are possible in the gardens too - no wonder this highly romantic place is a popular wedding venue for TV personalities, and authors Joe O’Connor and Cathy Kelly hosted their wedding receptions here too.

Although there’s no accommodation, a room is available for the bride and groom, for use on the day and evening but not overnight; there’s plenty of local accommodation nearby, from 5 star hotels to B&Bs, all of which give guests a reduced rate; the area is convenient to Dublin city centre and many golf courses.
