Beshoffs of Howth in Dublin

Vasil, my server was beyond helpful, informative, professional and kind. I ordered the grilled octopus and crab. Both dishes were absolutely delicious!! The atmosphere was beautiful. I will definitely go back again and bring my husband, family and friends. I highly recommend Beshoff’s. Side note….grabbed fresh fish next door at their market. It’s was delicious!!!

Unbeknownst to us we got in right before lunch service ended which is why I'm assuming our service wasn't good, although we didn't realize and would have gone elsewhere if we had been told. The chowder was the worst we've had, like a seafood stock with a few bits of meat. The mussels were drenched in garlic, hard to know how they tasted except for that. The oysters and salmon were 10/10, but it didn't make up for the lack of service unfortunately.

Fantastic oysters, mussels and squid.

I recently visited this restaurant and tried the Grilled Octopus with Tomato and Chilli Salsa from the starters menu, and the Lobster from their special menu. The Grilled Octopus included two to three small tentacles. It was cooked well — tender and nicely presented. While the portion size may seem small, it works well as an appetizer. The price is slightly on the premium side, likely due to the rarity of the dish in Dublin. That said, I feel the flavor could be enhanced a bit more to truly elevate the experience. For the Lobster, I would recommend opting for the classic version with garlic butter sauce. I personally found the cheese-covered lobster to overpower the natural sweetness of the meat. I tried a larger lobster at a relatively fair price, which was a nice touch. Overall, the service, ambience, atmosphere, and location were excellent. A great spot if you're looking to try something different in a lovely setting. 👌

Very good lunch (oysters, steak and fish), just a bit too much garlic for our taste.

Lovely dining experience with delicious food and attentive service

Totally coming back for the Spilt Seabream in garlic butter!!!

Good food (I recommend the shrimp in tempura). Everything is fresh. Friendly service. Next door in the pavilion there is delicious coffee served by a very nice lady :)

Superb staff, great food, interesting wines in a decent list, lovely spacious room with a view, a southern European feel and full of visitors from Europe and South America on a Tuesday afternoon in mid April. Impressive. Maitre d’ very savy and blessed with the gift of hospitable gab. Did a great birthday desert presentation and got the attention of the entire room.
