Cavistons in Dublin

Exceptional food. The special was delicious (Lobster tacos with pineapple salsa, crazy yummy). The main of linguine was also super srummy; it came with a massive crab claw and lots of mussels too. It was served with potatoes and salad. Everything tasted delicious. Excellent service also, very friendly, attentive and knowledgeable.

My sister and I were visiting the Forty Foot and were looking for a place for dinner afterwards. We stumbled upon here after our first attempt at a restaurant nearby wasn't so great. We're so glad that we came here instead! Cool decor/vibe and a much better atmosphere. I started off with the scallops. Delicious! Then my sister and both got the Sole fish with broccoli and roasted potato special. Amazing! My sister couldn't finish hers, so I ended up eating hers as well. The dessert was probably the best and glad I got it. I got a strawberry/vanilla pavlova with a rose sorbet. My sister didn't want any of her own dessert, but she ended up eating most of mine! It was one of the best dessert I had in a long time. Great service and very friendly staff! Everything we had was delicious. A definite recommend if you're ever in the Sandy Cove area of Ireland.

I love the vibe and the staff are cool. Fresh seafood and high quality ingredients. The restaurant is beautiful.

Fantastic service but left hungry even after three courses. Think it was the smallest half lobster I have ever had.

A treasure for seafood: the food is fresh, deliciously cooked, light, it brings out the genuine taste. The place is bright and open.

Very delicious food and good service!

Amazing food. Lovely people. 100% recommended.

A bit out of the way on the south side of the city, but this place is worth the trip. It’s a combination of fishmonger, grocer, and restaurant—an unusual combo, but it works really well. We had crab claws and duck liver to start, followed by a bone-in turbot steak that was simply prepared and cooked just right. Finished with a chocolate-orange mousse that wasn’t too heavy, just a nice way to end the meal. The place has a relaxed vibe, friendly service, and it was nice to catch the sunset around 9pm after dinner (during summer months).

Beautiful spot for lunch, truly thought we had the very best crab claws i have ever eaten. Wonderful seafood. Staff are the added bonus to the experience.

We had lunch here today and we are still talking about the food this evening. It was a birthday celebration and we enjoyed every bite. The scallops, the prawns, the haddock and the Brill were unbelievably delicious as were the chocolate mousse and date and toffee pudding complete with a candle and a rousing Happy Birthday from the lovely staff. Peter Caviston stopped by for a chat. He’s such a good humoured man and it was lovely to see him looking so well and elegant as ever.
