Town Yard Modern Bistro in Malahide

Overall good experience. The drinks and dishes we ordered were really good & tasty. Pleasant atmosphere. However, one thing was a bit bothersome—within the span of about five minutes, three or four different staff members approached us to ask if we were ready to order. We repeatedly had to let them know we needed a few more minutes, which felt a bit rushed. Additionally, what seemed to be the staff lead (a lady) came by to inform us that our reservation was for two hours and that they would need the table back by 2 pm. While we understand time limits for reservations, the way it was communicated felt a little pushy, especially as we were still deciding on our order. That said, the food and general service were good, and we did enjoy our visit—but a bit more breathing room to decide would have made the experience even better.

Really enjoyed the meal in Townyard Bistro. I had eaten in a previous restaurant in this space and the first impression was that the new restaurant was a nice modern layout with a lot of natural light. The service was friendly and professional. I'm not a lover of stuffy formal restaurants. The staff took drink orders first and were good explaining the specials. My brother had the fish and chips and our partners had duck. I had the John Dory with mussel volute and seasonal greens. I thought it was excellent. The volute was subtle and had complimented the John Dory rather than overpowering it. The seasonal green were perfectly cooked. I ordered a side of chips which looked triple cooked and were very nice. The other 3 in our group all said their meals were really nice. It was the type of restaurant experience I want. Friendly service, very good food, a nice informal atmosphere and not ridiculously expensive. We had a very nice conversation with one of the waiting staff when we were paying the bill. I don't eat out very often but I'll certainly be looking to return. With 2 coffees, a bottle of beer, a glass of wine, a mug of hot chocolate and 4 main courses the bill was €136.

I visited this nice restaurant for the first time with my friends and I was absolutely delighted, definitely coming back👌👍

I’ve been to Ireland several times and had never tried this place. I gave it a chance last time, and I was delighted. It’s a very cool spot with exquisite food, especially the desserts. 🤤

I went to Ireland on a trip I saw this restaurant and I have to say that the food is delicious and the dessert is spectacular. I will be back for sure

A very lovely place with tasty food. We keep coming back for special occasions. Don't forget to check the specials on the day, those are always lovely. The staff is very helpful to accommodate substitutions and gluten free diet requests. The cocktails are tasty as well, especially Bellini.
