The Farm restaurant is located in the centre of Dublin adjacent to Trinity College in 3 Dawson Street, which runs parallel with Grafton Street. The Farm is owned and operated by an Irish family who have been involved in the hospitality industry in Dublin for 40 years, together with their General Manager Tony Kelly And head chef Nick Gonta. The decision to open the Farm in 2007 was three years in the making and came about by the obvious requirement by the public for better, healthier, and traceable fresh and even in some cases Organic food. Having thought about this and discussed it at length for what seemed like an eternity it was decided that the Farm concept would become a reality, with our mission statement as “Affordable, tasty, homemade and locally sourced. As much organic and or free range as we can, healthy vegetables and fresh herbs”. This mission statement has served us well and the Farm has been warmly embraced by locals and visitors alike. We have an extensive lunch and dinner menu, daily specials and an Early Bird menu Sunday—Friday each week. Much of our produce comes from organically certified Irish producers, whose certification hangs on the wall of the Farm. We spend much time developing our menus changing them frequently to ensure that we always have a nice or different dish to offer our many regular customers. The Farm also has a children’s menu, developed using the opinions of “consultant” children of friends and family to ensure that we got it right. The result being that we serve Organic chicken nuggets, organic pasta and even an organic 5oz Sirloin steak to our quite discerning young ladies and gentlemen when they visit. Here at the Farm we serve a range of organic wines, beer, organic soft drinks, organic tea and organic fair trade coffee. Even our milk is organic! The Farm is OPEN seven days a week serving a full menu throughout the day from 12 noon to 11oo pm.

It's very pricy however - the fish pie was over €16 and a burger €15 - it doesn't seem they've lowered their prices as most places have done over the past year. Saying that though, everything is very tasty and fresh (and they bake their desserts as you order them) but they might want to rethink their prices if they are going to compete with other restaurants in their category.

Was there the last time on June 24th. Overall I think the service is the worst thing. Found the staff a bit rude and the food was nothing special. Had the burger and to be honest it was ok. Wasn't too impressed with the cleansingness either. We had sticky table and menus. Last time was there over a year ago and am not rushing there again any time soon.

Thank you for taking the trouble to review The Farm restaurant and for your many kind words. I am sorry that you did not like the whipped cream with the apple pie. I would however like to absolutely assure you that it was not “fake” cream. I would not have fake cream in my restaurant and we have no need for it.Our organic milk and cream is delivered fresh every day. I would be delighted to even show you the delivery dockets. I do hope you will return again soon and please feel free to ask for myself, Desmond, or the manager and we would be delighted to discuss this small but really important point with you. In the meantime thank you again for visiting The Farm.

What a disappointment it turned out to be! On requesting water it was very warm, no ice in sight! As a starter i ordered a goat cheese tarte, for almost 9 euro it was little and burned on the edges; not a good start. My husband's entree' was even worse: he had salmon pate'. It was miniscule and the so called "Melba Toast" which accompanied it was stale, thinly sliced and jokishly hard. Fortunately, mains were better, mine being bangers and mash, excellent. A really nice jalapeno sauce and good mash. My husband had chicken pie which despite being presented in a odd way, ie big pieces of chicken with light gravy on, topped with a portion of puff pastry, was actually quite nice. The dessert was called "rasperry roulade" ; again atypical. It was a very soft merengue with fresh cream, not a roulade....and was far too sweet. service was far too slow and unattentive. All and all not a place i would rush back anytime soon.

We had Kir Royals to start with out in the terrace while waiting for the rest to join us. When we moved inside to our table. Two of the group were late joining us and they didnt put us under pressure to order as the early bird was available all evening. The chicken were lovely - a nice from them. Everybody was happy with their choices - ot a lot of room left for desserts. Nice wines at good prices. Will def return.

The decor is a bit mixed-signals; outsides almost looks Holier-Than-Thou-Veggie, inside is a funny mish-mash of trying to be trendeeeee and wholesome at the same time. A bit weird. Food is also a bit mixed signals-y. Wings were pretty good, mains were definitely tasty but not really as described. Wines were average. Staff were very friendly but had to be prompted a number of times. Bill came to more than we were expecting, but we enjoyed it and will go back.

A limited selection of dishes, the food is always gorgeous and topnotch. I especially love the bowls of soup as they are massive and really fill one up. Their portions are good and its rare that I have not liked whats presented to me. I am not so keen on their desserts however, potentially because I am already so full and can't relish the sweet taste as much. All in all, a great place for dinner. I think the lunches are that wee bit overpriced but if you are ok with spending 15 quid, pop by here for a gorgeous meal! << First Page < Prev [Results 1 - 8 of 58] Next > Last Page >>
