The best restaurants in Fingal

29/09/2025: Great and cozy place to grab chicken roll after long flight

28/09/2025: Super place to grab a coffee and a snack

21/05/2026: Very beautiful spot....and very kind to us three ladies today

12/05/2026: Nice place staff can be a bit snooty food is ok it has a great reputation but is only ok

15/05/2026: My husband and i ate dinner here last night. Fantastic pub energy. We ordered the steak, guiness beef pie and the wings. The wings were spectacular. Loved everythjng. Parking was a bit lacking for such a tight busy area.

15/05/2026: One of the nicest pubs I've seen in Ireland. They have a wide variety of beers (we love Beamish). Delicious steaks and burgers, daily specials. Great decor. Friendly service. Large place with plenty of seating. We were there on a Monday afternoon.

13/06/2026: After visiting Malahide Castle, a stop at the Al Fresco restaurant is a must – it's the perfect place to relax and enjoy something truly special! From the moment you enter, you're captivated by the wonderful, atmospheric interior, which creates an incredibly cozy, Italian atmosphere. The soft Italian music flowing from the speakers makes you feel like you're in Italy, even if just for a moment. The food? Absolutely delicious! Every dish is prepared with incredible care and flavor. The prices are also affordable, which is a truly pleasant surprise in such a charming place. The service deserves a special mention – incredibly friendly, warm, and incredibly professional. The waiter pays attention to every detail, making guests feel truly cared for. It's rare to find such a lovely atmosphere and such a high level of hospitality. On a sunny day, you can sit outside and soak up the incredible atmosphere of Malahide – a true pleasure and the perfect ending to a day after visiting the castle. I am absolutely delighted with this place and wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone – a must-see!

09/06/2026: I came here with my boss and really enjoyed the food. Everything was delicious and I would love to come back again. The staff were friendly and the service was very good. The restaurant was nice and comfortable, and I had a great experience here.

05/05/2026: Food was delicious. We'd a carvery dinner but unfortunately the short haired woman serving was totally ignorant, rude & very bad mannered. Waited over 5 minutes to be served our meat by her while she was very rude & obnoxious to other staff members. This was at lunchtime on Friday 24th of April so easy to find out who my post regards too. All other staff seem very capable of doing there job but a bit more clearing of tables & clearing them wouldn't go a miss. Food was very nice & decent size too.

04/05/2026: In the stress of the morning airport rush, Aleksandra was a welcoming and helpful sight! Thank you for being lovely and helpful. The food and seating area was also very nice

18/06/2025: Great insight into life in a million. We had a terrific guide, Patrick, and it was great to actually get inside the windmills and learn how they worked.

18/06/2025: We had a very pleasant visit to the mills. Our guide was amazing, with a high knowledge of the mills and surroundings. The mills are very well preserved, and landscapes all around are breathtaking. Delicious cakes and cappuccino in the coffee shop

28/05/2026: Wonderful place to enjoy an evening meal. Our waitress Emily gave us such good service and even asked the chef what kind of sauce we had with our duck. She offered to order us a bottle but we did not have the time. So instead she poured some sauce on a waterbottle and gave to us free of charge. Would not even accept a tip for this wonderful gesture. "This is how we do it up here" she said. The food was very good and you sertanly get your money worth. Would absolutely recommend all of my friends and family to go here.

02/05/2026: Nice location for a decent bite to eat , Keenly priced and staff were great well done to you all, thank you

03/01/2026: Beautiful, quirky pub with a unique character. Excellent Guinness, Estrella Galicia 0.0, and friendly staff... their Copper Throat cask strength whiskey is quite good too. This is a local for those who prefer an intimate, authentic setting over larger, more modern venues. A great spot if you want a pint in a place with soul, character, and a warm, fireplace-lit welcome. It does feel like a "living room" rather than a commercial bar, with music-heavy decor, vintage memorabilia, and an open fireplace. Music seems to be central to its identity, particularly during the Skerries Traditional Music Weekend, but also with a great eclectic soundtrack. Overall a well balanced cosy atmosphere with a traditional Irish pub feel and a modern, somewhat alternative edge. In addition to being a pub, it now houses a coffee shop and bakery right beside.

12/12/2025: Such a cosy pub and warm atmosphere. Perfect for a date, few deinks and caters for large groups too and opens late. Didn't eat here but say the food is pretty good if they do serve food.

03/11/2025: Excellent service Thank you Husna ♥️

03/11/2025: The service was so fast and the staff was great

21/04/2026: The best corn beef and soda bread I have ever had!!!! Great place by the harbor!

14/04/2026: As always the food is excellent service fabulous and a great atmosphere

28/12/2025: I grabbed a coffee at 6 a.m. and the guy working there was super friendly, even at that hour. He suggested some flavors to add to my coffee. I picked hazelnut and it was amazing. Thanks a lot!

28/12/2025: I had a muffin and a latte while waiting for my flight, the muffin was lovely nothing to complain and about and the coffee was really good I was quite impressed. I was served by Charlotte very pleasant and chatty, really nice environment. Will be back again 👍🏻

05/05/2026: A great place for an afternoon lunch. The carvery is very good – like home-cooked meals. 🫠 Quite busy for a weekday, and on weekends it's like a beehive, but there's always room. There are plenty of tables both inside and outside, plus friendly service both at the bar and in the restaurant. A large parking lot for drivers. For those with a sweet tooth, there are also desserts (THEY LOOK DELICIOUS – BUT they're not like Polish pastries – they don't have that sugary taste :-)), more of a bland, typically Irish flavor (meaning lack of flavor).

02/05/2026: Very good food at a good price. Lots of space inside and out. If you're looking for a spot that isn't too crowded to catch up with friends, you've come to the right place.

30/12/2025: What a wonderful experience. Food was a culinary delight and the service was attentive without being intrusive. Lovely atmosphere and a great view of the sea. Will definitely return and recommend

20/12/2025: The food was nice but nothing particularly special. However the staff were really friendly and the atmosphere was lovely. I had a lovely relaxed brunch with a nice view. I would eat here again.

09/06/2026: Perfect place for food when travelling to or from the Airport. Very accessible woth plenty of parking.. tasty wholesome food with great service.

31/05/2026: From the outside it is a bit dated but that's its charm the food is honest and value for money. Staff are no nonsense efficient but equally nice and friendly. Look its old school not a place for foodies who think they know food but don't. For breakfast I had an omelette with mushrooms tomatoes & onions and as much coffee as I could consume loved it. The omelette was to perfection. Go on give the Donkey Shed a miss for once and stop being pretentious for one day and give the Brock a go it ain't as bad as you may think. My dog Teddy would love it too.

04/05/2026: The food is delicious, the wait time felt very long between the starters and mains. The staff were very friendly.

19/04/2026: Had a lovely evening for my parents 60th anniversary. Lovely food lovely atmosphere only 1 girl serving everyone in restaurant but was excellent. Highly recommend.
