Avoca Fern House Cafe in Kilmacanogue

Breathtaking cafe with delicious and beautifully presented food. One of my favourite cafes in Ireland. Early in the morning it’s still quiet and has such a unique vibe.

Declining food quality served for breakfast. Such a pity. This was reflected in a very empty restaurant that once upon a time you had to queue to get a table in. Beautiful location. Eclectic mix of quirky items on sale in main shop. Great tourist trap. You will buy something for sure.

Nice and pieceful place for dining within a nature, surrounded by tall windows and trees of different origins including palms and exotic plants. Food was descent with a touch of professional chef. I really enjoyed experience.

A super beautiful restaurant 🍴 The food portions are relatively small; adults need to eat two courses. A summer set menu for two courses costs €36. Next to it is a large shopping mall in Avoca, with green areas and indoor and outdoor gardens; home goods and clothing; and a cafe where you can order coffee and meals at similar prices, but the food is more like a quick grab-and-go option, similar to a canteen. It's not the same place as the restaurant.

Some excellent food there but I definitely wouldn't recommend the chowder as it was laced with salt.

Food was lovely and the staff couldn't do enough for us. Would definitely recommend Thank you

Beautiful and unique place to enjoy a meal. Outside gardens are also a treat.

Beautiful lunch here today in the most beautiful surroundings. Staff were all so friendly and attentive. The shop and garden centre were well stocked with fab goods

The Fern House restaurant is part of Avoca, stores and garden centre. It best to book this restaurant for lunch, as it can get busy. The layout, ambience and decor are lovely and in keeping with the rest of the Avoca style. Views over the gardens are beautiful too. Staff was nice and the menu quite limited. We ordered cod which came with crispy bacon, both very good, the sauce the fish was placed on was a little under seasoned. For dessert we sampled one custard dish and a chocolate dessert which was quite dense. Overall a nice experience.

Delicious breakfast! Really good quality food. Attentive staff and fabulous atmosphere
