The Beaufield Mews - Dublin Ireland

I came here for afternoon tea and I was wonderfully surprised! You're taken to the upstairs of the coach house where amongst quirky tea cups, vintage jewelry and dubious taxidermy you're served one of the most innovative afternoon teas you can get your hands on in Dublin!! Very friendly waiting staff and lovely surroundings but the combination of the above and the creative savories and treats make this place a real gem which is a serious value for money spot! Look forward to the salmon cones and the boiled egg. My favourite dessert had to be the homemade Jaffa cakes. Definitely give it a go!!!

I never set out to stick my knife into a restaurant but this owner just deserves it I had the misfortune of encountering Julie Cox, the owner of this restaurant, on my visit to this establishment last Friday evening. After making a reservation for my elderly mother and my brother we arrived on time to an empty restaurant. We proceeded to walk into the coach house and stood at the doorway looking out into the garden. At this point Julie Cox ran down to us and started shouting at us "NO! YOU CANNOT COME OUT HERE! So much for a warm and friendly welcome then? At this point she extended both arms and shoved us, into the restaurant from the doorway reiterating that We CANNOT go out into the garden. I was absolutely appalled that someone would treat paying customers in this manner, let alone an elderly lady! At this point I said to her I have never in my life experienced such a terrible attitude, rudeness and lack of human respect. Without responding, Julie Cox just turned on her heels and just walked away from us leaving her astounded staff members to try and explain her despicable behaviour. I left angry: eye gougingly, bone crunchingly, teeth grindingly angry. How ****** dare someone treat people in that manner. We have visited this restaurant on different occasions in the past and had good experiences. I have even recommended it to colleagues as a venue for large groups. I will never do this again, and I will ensure that this experience will be spread far and wide. In the end we went on to a fabulous restaurant nearby and had a wonderful experience. Ms Julie Cox needs to be reminded that stories of this type of behaviour will travel, there are so many other beautiful options in this area. If you have a wedding the following day and it puts you in such a terrible state of severe agitation, even with an empty restaurant, my suggestion is to close the establishment to save you the potential of such stress Ms Cox. There are several words I can drum up to describe the treatment that we received at Beaufield Mews, but let me limit it one: repulsive. No, wait, remembering the owner physically shoving us into the restaurant, I would add: offensive. I will never again cross the threshold of this establishment; you have lost 3 regular customers.

Went here yesterday for a family lunch, there was 25 of us I believe. It was a nice meal, I had a terrine to start, which was nice, but could have used a bit more seasoning or some sort of kick in it. The beef for my main was great, with a lovely bit of gravy. The potatoes and veg were really nicely prepared, and the addition of some fresh herbs in the potatoes and the pine nuts in the veg really worked and made everything just that little bit tastier. The only thing that let me down was the dessert. I had the lemon tart and while nicely executed (nicely done crust, good tart texture) it was overly sweet. There was a wee bit of ice cream which I suspect was homemade, it was super creamy and tasty, but again, just overly sweet. The overall effect was a bit cloying . Great space, relaxed, service for our large group was excellent. Afterwards we all sat outside in the lovely garden and had a visit. All in all a good place to go for a group.

Beaufield mews is a high quality place, the food is high quality and pretty Irish. For €25 I got: A tasty pate for starters A huge slice of beef. Huge. Like, we're talking 400grams of meat! nice Icecream (they also do tarts etc. but I was a bit full from the main) Tea They only do 1 sitting per day, which means there's no hurry to get you to move out of your seats, it also gives you a lot of time to enjoy the company and their lovely garden out back. They have a nice selection of craft beers too, always a plus. It's the perfect place for a birthday meal or a wedding reception really.

I was here for a family birthday today and it was very appropriate. I would definitely recommend it for a weekend family lunch. Really nice 3 course menu and tea/coffee for €25 10% service charge. Very reasonable altogether! I had poached pear and Tete de Moine cheese for starter, barbary duck with carrot and cinnamon paste for main, and creme brulee for dessert and everything was absolutely delicious! The staff were very polite and attentive. My only complaint was that it was very warm, but there is a lovely garden out the back, so I took advantage of it to take a quick wander to cool down.
