(Christmas hours open all day every day except 25th and 26th) - The Farm restaurant is located in the centre of Dublin adjacent to Trinity College in 3 Dawson Street, which runs parallel with Grafton Street.
The Farm is owned and operated by an Irish family who have been involved in the hospitality industry in Dublin for 40 years, together with their General Manager Marina Sarosi. And head chef Sean Hunter.
The decision to open the Farm in 2007 was 3 years in the making and came about by the obvious requirement by the public for better, healthier, and traceable fresh and even in some cases Organic food.
Having thought about this and discussed it at length for what seemed like an eternity it was decided that the Farm concept would become a reality, with our mission statement as “Affordable, tasty, homemade and locally sourced. As much organic and or free range as we can, healthy vegetables and fresh herbs”.
This mission statement has served us well and the Farm has been warmly embraced by locals and visitors alike.
We have an extensive lunch and dinner menu, daily specials and an Early Bird menu Sunday—Friday each week.
Much of our produce comes from organically certified Irish producers, whose certification hangs on the wall of the Farm.
We spend much time developing our menus changing them frequently to ensure that we always have a nice or different dish to offer our many regular customers.
The Farm also has a children’s menu, developed using the opinions of “consultant” children of friends and family to ensure that we got it right.
The result being that we serve Organic chicken nuggets, organic pasta and even an organic 5oz Sirloin steak to our quite discerning young ladies and gentlemen when they visit.
Here at the Farm we serve a range of organic wines, beer, organic soft drinks, organic tea and organic fair trade coffee. Even our milk is organic!
The Farm is OPEN seven days a week serving a full menu throughout the day from 12 noon to 11pm.
Come in and see us when you can, you will be made feel very welcome! - Every time I go to this restaurant I'm reminded of why I love it. The food was wonderful. Service was perfect. Really helpful staff but also very unobtrusive. Each course was nicer than the one before. Very reasonable meal considering the whole experience. I will certainly be back.</RestaurantDetails>

    <comment>I went here with a party of 8 people. We had heard of the organic fare and thought it would be an interesting place to try. 
We were pleasantly surprised by their "Dine in Dublin" menu for 25 euro. There was an excellent selection including steak on this menu.
To start I had chicken wings which I am usually tempted by. They were really delicious and the portion was very generous. They had a nice tangy sauce over them and a blue cheese dip which I liked because it didn't taste too strong. Others also enjoyed the goats cheese started. 
For main course I had the steak. Considering it was so reasonable I didn't know if the quality would be great. I was delighted that it was cooked to my liking (rare) and the chips were delicious. 
It was a battle but I managed to squeeze in dessert: raspberry roulade. I am always a fan of everything with raspberry in it and it didn't disappoint. I wasn't able to finish it though.
The wine list is also comprehensive and we selected a nice bottle of red wine. I would recommend this restaurant to a friend as the food was of high quality and the price was really reasonable!</comment>

    <comment>I revisited the Farm for my brother's birthday recently. Originally we had booked for 8 people but changed last minute to 6 people which was not a problem. We were seated and given menus straight away. Being that it's organic food, the food was very tasty and of good quality. I had the chicken pie as a main and hummus for starter. Food was delicious. They also have a lovely selection of wine. Service was excellent. When our starters arrived, my sister was out having a cigarette and the manager overheard me saying that we should go and get her, but there was no need as she went outside to call her in for me (without being asked). I was very impressed by this. Service was good and as it was brother's birthday (and mine also), they brought us deserts with candles in them and Happy Birthday written on the plate. They also sang to us, which I thought was very endearing. Staff were excellent, food was of a high standard and although the bill was hefty enough, there is a set menu for around €27 that includes a starter, a steak main and desert. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to others and plan on returning there myself in the future.</comment>

    <comment>This was my first visit here and I really enjoyed the food.  The restaurant itself is really nice, with funky decor, but I found it very hot because I was sitting under a light.  I had the goat's cheese tart to start, very nice - big portion.  My boyfriend had the chicken wings that were very tasty.  I had the beef stew for main, which again was really tasty.  Rasberry roulade for dessert was lovely and light.  Overall, I really liked this restaurant and the staff were really friendly and helpfu.  Their 4 course dinner for €27.90 is great value.</comment>

    <comment>Visited here for the first time on Saturday the 9th . We chose the early bird menu priced at €23.95 for three courses. Staff were attentive and polite and worked well together. I would recommend this restaurant and will return. As far as I know this is an Irish run restaurant which hopefully will continue to serve this wonderfully tasty food. Give it a try.

    <comment>Two of us ate here on a megal deal voucher, which gave us two for one on the four course set menu. My companion had the soup to start (sweet potato, coconut and ginger) and I had the hummus which came with pitta bread and crudites, both were delicious. Mains were seafood risotto, which was rich and very filling and my companion was unable to finish it much to her chagrain. I had the organic chicken, which was accompanied by roast potatoes and green beans. Desert was bread and butter pudding and raspberry roulade, both great. Service was excellent throughout. It is a lovely restaurant, bright and airy with white furniture and fresh herbs in pots on the tables. Even without having a deal, the four course set menu at €27.95 is great value with plenty of choice. City centre location adds to this restaurant's attractions. I couldn't say anything negative about it and we will definitely be back.</comment>

    <comment>I love the Farm. It's casual but nice and not cheap and cheerful - you could wear anything from your sunday best to jeans and runners and feel ok. Nice atmosphere. Lovely food. The chicken wings are soooo tasty, though I wish they had been crispier. Four of us ate here on the special menu, the value was amazing and we were all pleased with every dish we had. I would definitely go again - especially as they put in the effort to source organic and local produce. Really good.</comment>

    <comment>A friend and I went here for an evening meal. Service was brilliant from start to finish, I had the goats cheese tart to start, it was fab, I eat a loat of goats cheese as a veggie, and this was really good, salad to accompany was nice too. Friend had the bread and dips which was what you would expect, perfectly fine! Mains, we both had the stuffed peppers as that was the only veggie option, it was just fine, always think its a bit of a lazy option to be honest, but the cous cous was flavoured nicely and it was all just fine, we had a chocolate cake and strawberry roulade to finish, cake was brilliant and roulade wasnt bad either. Would return anytime for the goats cheese. </comment>
