Orchid Restaurant in Malahide

01/07/2025: Staff are lovely here. The food was ok. The burrata and croquettes were very tasty. For the mains we had the sea bass tempura which is fish and chips with mushy peas which was fine. The batter wasn’t very light and the peas were dry. The chips were delicious although the last third were too salty to eat. My friend had the vegetarian tart. The pastry was too hard to cut and the filling was too salty for her. She has high blood pressure and would have liked a choice about the amount of salt on her food. In this day and age I think that’s expected. We have our feedback which was taken very graciously. We also noticed that the dado rail and lamp next to us were thick in dust. We wouldn’t go back even though the staff are great.
