Woodruff specialises in Modern Irish cuisine, a harmonious blend of traditional flavours with contemporary techniques. Our philosophy is grounded in a genuine love for fresh, local, and seasonal ingredients. We take immense pride in crafting as much as possible in-house, ranging from our artisanal breads, butter, and crème fraîche to our handcrafted ricotta and charcuterie. As we cook with the rhythm of the seasons, our dishes are ever-evolving, reflecting the best of what Ireland’s land and waters have to offer at any given time of the year.

Yes, we are committed to catering to diverse dietary preferences. Vegetarian options are always available for each course on our menu, ensuring a delightful dining experience for our vegetarian guests. For our vegan patrons, while we always strive to offer appealing choices, we can best accommodate specific vegan requirements with advance notice. If you have vegan preferences, please let us know when booking, and we will ensure to prepare dishes that align with your dietary needs.

At Woodruff, we believe in creating a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere for all our guests. As such, we do not have a formal dress code.

Whether you’re joining us for a casual lunch or a special dinner occasion, we want you to feel comfortable and enjoy your meal.

While we gladly accept walk-ins, making a reservation is advised, especially during peak times or on weekends. Booking ahead ensures that you secure a table and helps us provide you with the best possible dining experience. If you decide to drop by spontaneously, we’ll always do our best to accommodate you, but a reservation gives you the certainty of a confirmed table.
