Our ethos is to champion local food producers by using the finest quality ingredients sourced from within Leinster, to create wholesome, contemporary, tasty dishes that we are proud to call "Rathwood"

The MerryTree is a popular, relaxed restaurant serving Rathwood visitors from Breakfast (10am - 12pm), until the afternoon daily. Our lunch menu fuses traditional flavours with the best of world foods, with an emphasis on organic and local produce. We also use McCabe’s coffee, roasted in local Wicklow and can offer organic Rathwood wine sourced directly from France.

We can accommodate dietary selections and pride ourselves on our healthy menu options. You can enjoy our luxurious (and famous) cakes knowing they are homemade on-site daily using the best ingredients.

Our restaurant seats up to 160 people so booking is not required. We also offer a private dining room that seats up to 70 people which can be booked in advance. Free Wifi is available across the restaurant. Our friendly staff can advise you on the different menu options. We offer group bookings, a home catering menu and takeaway options.
