The Coach House in Roundwood

It was a planned dinner, we were just passing Round wood after a long mountain walk, and decided to stop for an early dinner. Having already been to the Round wood store we had said we owe to try the Coach House restaurant. Well we haven't been disappointed at all. We had a great time, some amazing food and we were served with many smiles. It is not exactly cheap but it is well worth it. Great quality of Irish products are served here, and amazingly prepared and presented in the plates. I highly recommend the fish options. I went for the monkfish which was delicious. I highly recommend.

Wonderful birthday celebration last night in the restaurant. Excellent service, delicious food, particularly starters and dessert. Lovely location, looking forward to repeat visits.

Excellent stay and dinner at the Coach House. Great service. The Chicken Schnitzel is the best I’ve tasted - stroke of genius to add the mushroom sauce.

Walked in off the street not realising that you needed to book, but they were very, very accommodating. The two servers were very friendly girls and made us feel relaxed. I can recommend them highly. I’m from London and have to say that I have never been treated as well as this. To add icing on the cake, we asked the proprietor where we could buy some water and he said he could give us a bottle and asked us what we would like, a large bottle? Sparkling or still? Thank you very much Coach House. I will tell all friends and family to drop by if ever they are around your way. Kind regards, Angie & Mary x

We had dinner last night in the pub.The food was excellent with a good choice for all palates. The staff were warm,friendly, knowledgeable about the menu and the feeling that they cared about your experience with them was very evident.Thankyou.We will be back.

An update. It was so good last time we came back and were not disappointed. Liam and his team of committed and caring staff were great. Atmosphere was great and the food was delicious. Highly recommend the duck croquettes, and the chicken schnitzel. The rigatoni is also delicious. Can’t fault the place. I’ll be back again! I was blind hungry when we rambled in here. Just walked Glendalough for 3 hours and we stumbled across this place. I was knee deep into a creamy pint and a burger before I even lifted my head to take in the surrounding. What a fantastic place, really nicely decorated, glowing fires in each room, and oh so very comfortable and inviting. We moved from the bar to a nice cozy spot by the fire. This is under new management and it’s just fab. The staff are as new as the management and they are so happy to be part of this new establishment and it shows. We will 100% be back here for dinner…or even just a drink. So so very nice.

Met some American friends who were staying at the Inn for two days by the time I met them they were on first name basis with the staff they loved their rooms and tastefully designed . We had a few drinks in the pub area loved the decor eclectic atmosphere a combination of couches and chairs you felt like you were in someone’s home , staff were very friendly and attentive. We then moved to dining room and shared an assortment of pizzas which were Faboulas !!! The decor was beautiful every room was different. The courtyard outside the bakery was an oasis a great spot to meet friends and unwind. There was a back room with glass partitioned doors which would be great for functions again beautifully designed . Worth a visit!!!! 5 Stars .

We stopped in to the Coach House for dinner recently. The food was absolutely fabulous. We sat outside as weather was equally amazing. The flavours and presentation of our dishes ( starters, mains and deserts) left us wanting more. Their wine list is very well curated with suggestions that pair nicely with the various dishes. The service was impeccable and shout out to Siofra who took such good care of us. The Coach House is a five star experience without the exorbitant prices. Really lovely experience, we will return for sure.

Visited for Sunday lunch yesterday and loved it. The Donegal Squid and Pork Belly salad were excellent starters, whilst the lamb shoulder was as good as I've ever had in Ireland, beautifully tender. And the tiramisu topped off a really enjoyable Sunday lunch. My Mam is coeliac and the staff were very helpful and the kitchen flexible in maximising the range of options from the menu which could be prepared gluten-free. The restaurant has a wonderful ambience, classically elegant but not at all stuffy. Staff were friendly and attentive. Some may consider it a little pricey but I've eaten in plenty of other places post-Covid at the same price point where the fare was average and/or service was poor, so for genuinely good food and service in the Ireland of 2025 I think people need to be expecting to pay around these prices. I live about an hour's drive away but hope to be back soon!

Upon arriving at the coach house we were greeted by the friendliest of staff. The decor is old world mixed eclectic style and is beautiful. Our little doggie was welcome and he was given little treats. We had two starters between us they were both off the scale of tastiness!! Every staff member clearly hand picked and couldn’t do enough for us, so much so that we returned the next day I had the short rib and well I don’t have words to describe the taste sensation!! The coach house is a hidden gem and a great reason to visit Roundwood. Ten out of ten on every level
