The Garden Room
The Garden Room is set within The Merrion's private garden in a newly constructed building. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors open on to a terrace – for al fresco dining during the summer – and capitalise on leafy garden views when the weather is cool. The Merrion is Dublin's only five-star hotel to have a garden. The Garden Room is an all-day restaurant – somewhere to meet for brunch, a light snack, a convivial lunch with friends, a speedy salad or a relaxed dinner. The menu focuses on modern Irish food, celebrating Ireland's larder of ingredients from the land and the sea. The menu champions artisan food producers, with Executive Chef Ed Cooney's cooking bringing flavour to the fore. Sharing is encouraged, with a menu of small plates to choose from – think Liscannor Crab brioche baps, smoked carrot blunts and truffle & parmesan arancini – while fresh Irish sourdough will be made in-house every morning. A warm, inviting and relaxed atmosphere set by clever interiors at the hands of designer Alice Roden – whose work is seen throughout The Merrion. Alice is supported by Consolata Boyle, responsible for the staff uniforms, a twice-Oscar nominated costume designer (honoured for her work on The Queen and Florence Foster Jenkins).
