It is very clear there is a focus on getting it right in Old Street.
I am ashamed to say after visiting, that it was our first visit but certainly won't be our last.
The scallop starters we both had were fantastic. Portion size very well considered.
For Mains we both shared the Higgins ButchersTomohawk. There is no place for wet aged meat on any menu. Here. They have the best in the country at a price very little over retail for what you get. Incredible cooking at not astronomical prices.
For desert. I don't want to ruin the surprise but they bring out a board covered in desserts. The more luscious the smaller the pots, the fresher and lighter the bigger. Like the Brownie dessert being smaller, but just as filling as the Strawberry cake dessert.
Very very very clever cooking and every tiny thing considered.
Not a stuffy atmosphere. Locals in with kids for food in shorts and hoodies before it got busier with larger groups.
Decor is simple, clean and very comfortable.
Staff were brilliant. We had a Hungarian waiter who was new but very clued in.
Looking forward to our next visits. (Intentionally plural)

š Fatherās Day Dinner at Old Street Restaurant, Malahide
We celebrated Fatherās Day at Old Street in Malahide, and it was an evening to remember. From the moment we arrived, the team made us feel welcomed, and the atmosphere was relaxed yet elegantāperfect for a family celebration.
š½ļø Food
The food was outstanding. We started with the Gambasābeautifully cooked prawns, full of flavor and perfectly seasoned. For mains, we went for their Sunday Roast, and it did not disappoint. The meat was tender, the vegetables were fresh and full of flavor, and the roast potatoes were just as crispy and delicious as youād hope for. Everything was served with care and attention to detail.
šø Cocktails & Drinks
Their cocktail selection was superb, but The Ring of Kerry stood out as the absolute highlight. Balanced, refreshing, and with a lovely twistāit really elevated the whole experience.
š” Atmosphere & Details
The setting is charming, a blend of historical character with a modern, stylish finish. It feels special without ever being pretentious, making it a perfect choice for marking special occasions like Fatherās Day.
š Final Thoughts
Fantastic food, exceptional cocktails, and warm, attentive service. Old Street delivered a wonderful experience for our Fatherās Day dinner. Weāll definitely be backāand next time, weāll be ordering The Ring of Kerry again.

It's a place that can become very expensive if someone wants to spend (the menu also offers wines for 3000 euros a bottle) but it allows you to eat (very well) even at acceptable prices if one cannot afford to spend.

We had the afters of our wedding here last week. There were 42 of us in total (including children who were welcomed by the restaurant and happily played) and everyone said it was incredible, the service was fantastic (we dealt mainly with Elaine - sheās great!). David was fantastic too.
The food was delicious, the wine list had something for everyone and the margaritas were great.
I couldnāt fault anything and will be recommending old street to everyone. We will absolutely be going back soon.

Beautifully presented food in a charming setting. We had the fish and rib-eye steaksāboth cooked to perfection and paired with a lovely Sauvignon Blanc. Our waiter was incredibly friendly and provided excellent service throughout. Weāll definitely be backāthis was easily one of the best meals weāve had in Malahide.
