Popped in after the drundrum castle event today and was not disappointed. Perfect example of independent care and quality. Went extra mile for our two young girls too. Thank you for a lovely meal, we will be back.

First time here and definitely will be back. Great food and lovely staff, who could not be nicer. Even looked after our wee dog and got water in the outdoor area at the side. Thank you ever so much and see you soon.

Lovely little cafe with outside courtyard seating for the better weather. Good quality food and ample portions. I've only called for breakfast but this is my third visit. That should say something about the food and ambience of the place.

Very cute place. Staff was very friendly and the food was great. I had the toastie with chicken/cheese with potato and leek soup, as well as a hot chocolate.

Tonn Ruray has very quickly become our favourite spot for a chill wee date day. In the gorgeous town of Dundrum, it is literally the epitome of simple food done exceptionally well. The staff are impeccable, there is never a long wait and the food is very presented, hot and extremely tasty! I would highly recommend Tonn Ruray, and have done to all of our friends and family. Simply can't sing their praises highly enough! The dark haired girl (sorry I didn't get her name) is so pleasant and helpful and nothing is ever too much trouble. A down to earth, comfortable environment with great local, high quality food. The traybakes are as well especially the caramel squares. Can't wait to call in again. Thanks for the great food, and service!
