The best restaurants in Fingal

04/01/2026: Dishes that are unique and different from the classics. The crab and cream cheese with their bread are excellent. The three-course pairing options at a reasonable price are appreciated. A decent wine list, though limited by the glass, is available. A view of the harbor completes a slower, more relaxed meal.

28/12/2025: I came on a whim. Entrance is nicely decorated - lovely foyer. Note that the restaurant is on the first floor so there is a flight of steps. I'm fine, skipped up like a hungry gazelle, but others may not be as spry. I was warmly greeted by staff, and got a seat straight away due to the early time. The place was half full at 4pm. Getting a seat without prebooking at a later time may not be so easy. The menu is nicely divided into Earth (that'll be your vegan/veggie selection) Land (meat and poultry) Sea (go on, have a guess...) and Heaven - the dessert section. I ordered a half bottle of Malbec, patatas bravas and the lamb shoulder. Wine is very nice. The lamb was served on a delicious bed of risotto. I enjoyed every morsel. Now, the portion is on the small side as it's a tapas meaning there's room for you to choose other dishes. Perfect for the cuisine curious! It all came to approximately fifty euro. This was a very reasonable price for a xmas treat for myself. 10/10 will be back with friends to sample more plates!

23/11/2025: ​I recently ordered from Domino's Pizza Portmarnock and wanted to highlight what truly made the experience outstanding: the staff. ​From the moment I placed my order to the collection, the team was nothing short of friendly and fantastic. They were efficient, helpful, and clearly take pride in their work, which makes a huge difference. ​Of course, the pizza was good—hot, fresh, and exactly what you expect from Domino's. But it’s the exceptional service provided by every staff member I interacted with that elevates this branch above the rest. They are genuinely welcoming and create a great atmosphere. ​Highly recommended not just for a reliable pizza fix, but for the fantastic customer service. Keep up the brilliant work, Portmarnock team!

22/11/2025: Had a great experience! Justine had amazing customer service!

05/10/2025: Great Service. Ziad was excellent

05/10/2025: Abs was an excellent bartender. Nice atmosphere and young staff. Would visit again.

17/01/2026: I went with a group of 14 friends and the food was good. I must highlight that Mia offered an excellent service and was very lovely.

17/01/2026: We went for dinner as a group of 14 people and the experience was excellent. Everything we ordered was correct and well organised, which is really appreciated when dining in a large group. Mia’s service was impeccable, always attentive and professional. A solid 10/10. Highly recommended and we will definitely be back!!

29/11/2025: Staff are friendly, coffee is delicious😊 Skip the line at the first “fancy” coffee shop as you enter American boarding gates and go on down to DUBH!!

15/11/2025: The staff was so rude, I was in line just trying to order Guinness, there was no line. I was following the previous customers. I got to the line, she was so rude first of all, that’s not Irish I know. she was not going to serve me. I carried on. I thanked her, I am not going to spend money on a rude cashier.

20/12/2025: Visited for breakfast on the 16th. We ordered chicken benny, Turkish eggs, cheesecake, and 2 lattes. Later, I noticed the receipt charged €5 extra for 3 Blue Pea Lemonades, which we didn’t order. Also, our lattes were initially swapped with matcha, though the staff fixed it quickly. The café was very busy, so extra staff during peak hours might help. Overall, food was tasty; slightly larger portions or extra slice of bread would match the price better. But I hope this kind of mistake doesn’t happen to other customers.

14/12/2025: We visited Green Straw for breakfast in Dublin and tried the holiday specials menu, including the Bang Bang Chicken, Christmas sandwich, and caramel pancakes, everything was delicious. The flavors were amazing, the vibe was cozy, and the staff were incredibly welcoming. The chef even visited our table to check if everything was fine and explained the dishes, which made the experience feel extra special. One of the best breakfast spots we’ve been to, highly recommended and a must-visit whenever I’m in Ireland.

18/01/2026: Welcoming and super friendly staff, nice food, value

18/01/2026: We were there for the first time and it was great. All the food and the service was amazing. We’d enjoyed the atmosphere of the authentic Italian style. Highly recommend for special occasions.

13/12/2025: First time here and just loved it..highly quality food and excellent customer service ...will definitely be back

04/12/2025: We had a lovely early lunch. Very friendly and great atmosphere. Food was amazing had a chicken pesto panini. Garlic bread was amazing. It was only a quick trip out on the train so would have loved to have a dinner. Looks like we will have to visit again next time we’re in Dublin. Great service.

26/11/2025: Love the castle and the grounds but the café is very overpriced

11/11/2025: A great place for an autumn family walk half an hour from Dublin

29/11/2025: Top of the range food you will leave satisfied every single time.best around

01/01/2026: Great menu but quite a few things not available on it and limited drinks options too (hence 3 stars) Starters and main were Salt chilli prawns and 1/2 a rack of ribs - which were very nice Dessert(Terrys choc orange cheesecake was up with the best i've ever had)

31/12/2025: Excellent, food tops, service very attentive.. adults loved it,kids loved it.. highly recommended.

12/12/2025: Love this pub. Super friendly staff and good crowd, mix of all ages. Big but still feels cosy and intimate, with lots of seating and little nooks and crannies. Great pint of Guinness and nice pub chow. Music is lively but not so loud you can't talk over it, and very comfortable smoking area. Recommended!

30/11/2025: Had a delish burger with amazing wedges here. Staff and atmosphere are warm. Prices are reasonable. Pay them a visit!

21/10/2025: Experience here was very good including food and service

19/10/2025: Such lovely staff really pleasant and helpful the food itself was tasty, though it came out a little on the cold side. Still I enjoyed it and would happily go back.

04/01/2026: Low key best steak in Malahide by a long way 🤫 The mussels linguine is also superb Sound staff too

03/01/2026: My friend and I got the chicken and the seabass to share and truly they were magnificent, highly recommended!

10/01/2026: Massive portions.. Was surprised with food quality in such a busy place.. everything on top

09/01/2026: I know the picture quality is terrible, but it's a pub and it's a bit dark 😂. I've been flying to Ireland for the holidays for years now, and every year this is our go-to spot for a fantastic Irish steak in Swords. We've never had a bad meal, whether it's a winged burger or something else; this one has been consistently fantastic for years. Thanks to the team. 🫶🏻
