Les Olives Farm and Food opened it’s door in December 2014 in our new premises on Abbey street, Naas, but the adventure started back in 1996 just next door !
Following the setting up of our fruit and vegetable farm we felt that the best way to offer our products was to bring them directly to our customers either as ready to eat products like jams, sauces and preserves or as part of our daily dishes on offer to eat in.
We introduce ready meals to take away a couple of month later and we offer classic traditional dishes full of goodness and flavours in one portion barquette.
We grow using mainly organic and permacultural ways but as a keen learner to new technics, we introduced some hydroponic growing with great results.
After many years of food service and cooking behind us, having one of the best restaurant in the Leinster area for twelve years, we decided to change our way of life and open a real farm food shop with a small seating area for lunch and dinner, over the last couple of years, the shop element was reduced and we have now a few more seats to cater for the demand, everything is home cooked using the best Irish meats, fish and fruits and vegetables of course, breads, pastries, cakes, ice cream and biscuits are baked in house daily and we have on offer a good selection of naturally cooked sauces, jams and preserves using what grows pesticide free seasonally in our garden.
Our aim is to grow and serve tasty quality food at reasonable prices, by growing and transforming ourselves the raw products, we will get you to discover things that you might have never seen or tasted before, bringing real tasty food back on a plate.
Our range of portioned frozen ready meals is growing and changing regularly and we cater for outside parties or special event orders.
Our meats comes mainly from small local farmers, our free range chicken and ducks are from Feighcullen in Kildare, the fish from the Irish shores and most of our vegetables are grown on our farm in county Kildare in season..
We introduced wines early 2015 and have a “huge” selection of 4 whites and 4 reds, rosé, sparkling and Champagne, we take wine selection very seriously and are changing them regularly, our wine knowledge comes from years of selecting and tasting wines from our previous restaurant, having won numerous awards for our 250 bottles wine listing.
We serve dinner on friday and saturday nights, customers are required to be in between 7.00 and 7.15 so that everyone is served together in a leisurly manner, no tables are turned so no one have to rush, we offer two of starters, main courses and desserts, using the best seasonal home grown and local quality products available.
The restaurant can be booked for groups between 16 and 20 peoples.
Lunch is served wednesday and thursday only from 12 till 2.30 and dishes are available from our daily changing blackboard and we introduced a two weekly changing sandwich “around the world in 80 sandwiches” concept
