The Orchard Restaurant At Beaverstown Golf Club in Dublin

18/03/2025: The food was excellent, very high quality from start to end. The bread was noticeably good, always a nice sign. Great wines by the glass. Excellent service - very friendly and attentive. Will definitely return - very high end food in a nice atmosphere. We went for dinner very early, at 17.45, but the place was really filling up as we were leaving.

14/03/2025: Although "Laurel" has been open for nearly two years, this was our first visit. Located just above "Kelly & Cooper" in Blackrock Village, we went based on a trusted friend's recommendation, and once again, he steered us right. The special three-course menu for €45 was an absolute delight. From the tempting selection of four starters, we both opted for the seared scallops with pea arancini, pea butter, and pancetta—simply delicious. For mains, I had the pan-fried halibut, while my wife enjoyed the slow-roasted beef. Both dishes were cooked to perfection and beautifully presented. To finish, we chose petit fours with coffee from the five available dessert options—a perfect ending to a fantastic meal. This special menu is available on Wednesday and Thursday nights, making it an excellent midweek treat. While the restaurant was relatively quiet (seating around 30, with 15 diners that evening), the atmosphere remained warm and inviting. The sole staff member attending to us was incredibly attentive, offering excellent service with a smile throughout the evening. The two chefs working in the open kitchen showcased impressive skill, creativity, and attention to detail in every dish. We highly recommend "Laurel" and will definitely be returning soon
