Oar House in Dublin

Great local spot in Howth. Found this on a morning walk and made it back for lunch twice. Best fish and chips we’ve had in Dublin area.

Visited here with a large group. We were seated in a private room upstairs. This meant we lost the atmosphere of the restaurant to an extent, but no complaints there. Staff were really friendly and helpful, so they get a 5 star. The food was a bit of a hit and miss. I thought my starter and main were lacking in flavour and were under salted. Oysters were a good size and fresh. Dessert was decent. This place definitely deserves another chance.

We had a delicious meal in the Oarhouse last night Fish was fantastic. What really added to our night was our beautiful server Jen she was so kind and attentive made my birthday special Thankyou John and Elaine Mooney

The Fish Pie was nothing short of amazing and the fish and chips were the best I’ve ever had. Highly recommend. Staff was very friendly.

The restaurant is very nice, the staff is friendly, I loved the fish soup, delicious!! The fried calamari was also well done.

The food was excellent, although a bit pricey for what it was. We waited about 15 minutes for a table, and the service was also quite good. The fish pie was excellent, as were the desserts.

I would absolutely recommand the place! We had a wonderful experience! Excellent Tapas!

We were very friendly and seated without a reservation. Our delicious meal was served quickly, and they constantly asked if we needed anything else. Delicious food and excellent service!

Molto buona la chowder soup della casa, servita con uno squisito pane nero. Deludenti le seppie al sugo con bacon, sinceramente da ripensare. Fish and Chips dignitoso, anche se le patatine erano un po' mollicce.

After a stunning cliff boat tour in Howth, we decided to grab a bite nearby – even though we usually avoid heavily touristic spots when it comes to dining. But this time, we were pleasantly surprised. The restaurant delivered on all fronts: fresh, flavorful dishes, a welcoming team, and a clean, open kitchen that confidently showcases transparency and quality. It’s always a good sign when you can watch your food being prepared, and here, it added to the overall sense of trust and care. Every dish we tried was delicious and thoughtfully plated. Prices were on the higher end of the spectrum, but given the location and the quality, absolutely justified. A great choice if you’re in Howth and looking for a good meal with honest cooking and a relaxed vibe – touristy setting or not.
