Silk Road Cafe Ltd

Silk Road Café Limited is a vibrant Dublin-based café nestled in the historic Chester Beatty, within the grounds of Dublin Castle. Set in the airy atrium of an eighteenth-century clock-tower building, the café offers a light-filled interior and outdoor seating overlooking the castle gardens, making it a favourite haunt for artists, students, tourists and anyone who appreciates fresh, wholesome food.

The menu celebrates Middle Eastern and Mediterranean flavours, with a daily-changing buffet of home-cooked dishes that are vegetarian- and celiac-friendly. Guests can enjoy soups, chicken kebab, freshly made falafel, and a selection of rice-based plates or seasonal salads. All cakes, biscuits and breads are handcrafted on-site, ranging from mixed-berry scones and plum-ginger cake to fig cake and traditional konafa.

Each Wednesday evening the café runs a special "Afternoon Tea with a Twist" meal deal, which must be purchased online in advance and presented with an order number on the night of the visit. This unique offering, together with the café's welcoming atmosphere, makes Silk Road Café a lively culinary destination in the heart of Dublin.
