Strandfield

Strandfield (also known as Strandfield House Café) is an independent, 100% vegetarian café, baker, artisan grocer, and boutique florist set within a beautifully restored, rustic farmyard estate in Ballymascanlon, just outside Dundalk, County Louth. Set against the impressive backdrop of the Cooley Mountains, the venue is highly celebrated for its modern farmhouse aesthetic, open-kitchen concept, wood-fired sourdough pizzas, and premium espresso bars.

For dog owners, this café enforces a strict outdoor-only pet policy. While non-service dogs are entirely restricted from entering the indoor dining rooms, grocery areas, and greenhouse florist shops, they are warmly accommodated across the estate’s expansive courtyard and garden terrace tables.
