Harry's had a strange atmosphere. The owner/manager seemed to be micromanaging the staff and they were almost too attentive to us. Our food was okay. Nice presentation, good authentic food, but lacking in seasoning. For the price, you could find somewhere better. We weren't wowed.
There was also a dog inside which seemed to belong to one of the staff. It barked during our meal and jumped at my wife on the way out and began barking as we left. There shouldn't be animals in a food establishment, nor should they be offputting to people.
Edit to add, since the restaurant responded to my review: there was no salt and pepper on our table, nor were we offered any. I also make a habit of trying not to add any seasonings at the table, preferring to appreciate the meal as the chef intended it to taste. In this case, it was not incredibly flavourful.

Had a brilliant date night at Harryâs of Malahide, easily one of the best restaurants in North Dublin for tapas and pasta, wine, and atmosphere. The vibe was relaxed but had a real buzz, perfect for a night out without feeling too formal. Staff were genuinely welcoming, and the service was spot on. We had the risotto and prawns, both absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. If youâre looking for a romantic spot in Malahide or just great food, Iâd highly recommend it. Canât wait to go back.

Had a selection of small plates ,cheese board and dessert washed down with a nice Albariño. The staff were very pleasant and informative the restaurant is small and seems very popular,prices are on the expensive side . I can recommend and would return.
Such a cosy little place! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and you can really taste the care that goes into the food. Everything is made with fresh, local ingredients and the staff are super friendly and clearly passionate about what they do. A great find if youâre after something relaxed, local, and full of flavour.

I went to Harryâs recently with friends and it was a phenomenal dining experience. From the moment we stepped inside, we were greeted with a warm, inviting atmosphere that made us feel right at home. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about their menu, offering expert recommendations on both food and wine.
The food was delicious. Every bite is a testament to the quality of ingredients and the skill of the chefs. Whether itâs the perfectly whipped feta, the rich and flavourful beef ragu, or the perfectly cooked scallops, each plate is crafted with care and bursting with flavour. And not forgetting the wine selectionâexceptional range of choices and something for everyone's taste.
Harryâs is intimate, cozy, and effortlessly charming. We will definitely be returning and I would highly recommend it for a memorable evening of fantastic food, great wine, and impeccable service.

We enjoyed the most beautiful meal last night at Harryâs . We didnât have a booking but the very friendly staff welcomed us and found us a table. We had a wonderful selection of sharing plates such as calamari, patatas bravas, boquerones, scallops , arancini balls and shared a Tiramisu. We were served by Amanda and she was so attentive even though the restaurant was full. Austin the sommelier was so spot on with his recommendations giving me a new appreciation for wines I would never have picked by myself !
We canât wait to go back . Huge compliments to the chef and all the team for an amazing dining experience. We never feel rushed at Harryâs and itâs the perfect place to have a really relaxing night .

The service and ambiance were nice, but the quality of the food doesn't suit the prices.
