About The Restaurant

Set in one of the most beautiful and stunning locations in the country, the Tulfarris Hotel & Golf Resort is a haven for great service, accommodation and food. Just 45 minutes from Dublin city, and close to the motorway, Tulfarris is ideally located on the shores of Blessington Lakes with the dramatic Wicklow Mountains as a backdrop.

Whether it’s for a family meal, a couples dinner, a business brouhaha or an occasion with friends, the Tulfarris Hotel has is the perfect spot, where guests can enjoy relaxed dining under the guidance of Executive Head Chef James Devers, with a hearty meal at The Brasserie or a fine dining experience at the AA Rosette winning Fairways Restaurant, where locally sourced ingredients are crafted into delectable dishes. Their fab contemporary Fairways Restaurant is proud to assure their diners that, from the freshest veg to the most flavoursome meat, they strive to keep their kitchen as locally sourced and organic possible. The cuisine here is modern Irish with lots of influences from around the world, and, with a spacious dining room and light tasteful décor, not to mention the large windows with their fantastic views of the stunning golf course and the natural beauty beyond, the atmosphere is relaxed and uplifting from starters right through to dessert. Think starters such as duck liver parfait or cured Goatsbridge trout and Irish salmon and mains like Wicklow venison loin with parsnip puree; Andarl Farm pork rump with apple gel, smoked pork airbag, black and white pudding bacon terrine and a cider jus; or Quigleys prime Irish beef sirloin with celeriac puree, salt baked carrot and a red wine jus. Desserts too are a delight, featuring tempting dishes like glazed apple mousse; maple and pecan tart; or a selection of Irish farmhouse cheeses.

For a more casual bite, find yourself a table at their superb Brasserie restaurant, with tasty starters such as chicken, mushroom and leek terrine with apple and raisin chitney, pickled red onion, brioche crouton and greens; smoked haddock & thyme confit leek fishcake with streaky bacon, herb salad and mojo verde; as well as their finger lickin’ Tulfarris chicked wings with a choice of chilli BBQ or Damn Hot sauce. Salads too are a strong feature with a tasty Caesar-style number as well as a roasted salad with fennel, pear William, pecans, seasonal leaves, herbs and Dijon cream. Salads can be ordered either a starter or mains portion.

There’s lots to choose from on the mains, with gourmet pork & black pudding sausages served with creamy rooster mash, confit onion gravy and crispy tumbleweed onions; 12-hour pot roasted feather blade of Irish beef with pomme mousseline, confit carrot, braised shallot and a port jus; not to mention a mouth watering 10oz sirloin steak served with roast tomato, onion rings, chunky fries and a choice of sauce. They do great burgers also, be it beef or Cajun chicken, served with rustic chips, as well as an excellent Beer battered fish of the day with garden pea and mint puree, tartar sauce and triple cooked chunky house fries. A roasted pumpkin ravioli for the veggie fans rounds out an excellent menu that really has something for everyone. For dessert, think 70% dark chocolate After 8 mousse with chocolate soil and mint marshmallow; hazelnut & honeycomb semi freddo with poached blackberries and honeycomb; or an Oreo cheesecake with chocolate sauce and crème Chantilly.

From great food and drink to stylish surrounds and a wonderfully welcoming atmosphere, Tulfarris has it all. Check it out for yourself and maybe even stay the night...
