I recently had a family celebration at woodruff. Colm and his staff were exceptional, the food was wonderful and the restaurant is bright and airy. Everything was 10/10. The sunday roast is a highlight.

We eat at Woodruff about once a week, and it’s one of the few places we keep going back to without hesitation. The food is always excellent — thoughtful, seasonal, and full of flavour. It’s clear the kitchen really cares about what they’re doing, but the dishes don’t feel overcomplicated.
The atmosphere is relaxed and unpretentious. It’s a nice space to sit in, calm, modern, and comfortable and the staff are friendly and easygoing. You feel looked after without it being too formal.
There’s a consistency to the whole experience that’s hard to find these days. It’s the kind of place you start treating like your local, even if it’s a bit more special than that.

As a vegetarian it can sometimes be difficult to find such creative, fresh, innovative and delicious options with such amazing attention to detail. I had the 'Beechlawn farm organic courgettes, romesco, gnudi, pickled grapes, smoked almond' main course and if heaven were me sitting on a cloud eating that dish for eternity, I would be happy!!!!!

Super food from start to finish, starters were delicious, cote de bouef was excellent and the creme brulee topped off a really special father's day treat! Compliments to the chefs and the incredibly friendly David serving us, great bloke, highly recommended spot in stunning Stepaside!

This restaurant is surrounded by a pizza restaurant and a chipper. But dont let that fool you. It is real gem. The ambience is that of a relaxed and modern bistro. But the food is truly fantastic. Well presented, perfectly cooked and served. And good advice on the wine to go with the dinner (the wine menu is a bit daunting). It is not a cheap place, but wll worth it. This was not our first visit, and it will not be our last.
