The best restaurants in Fingal

28/06/2025: Nice place. Free parking. Can be busy at times and a bit pricey, but if your looking for somewhere different and a change

08/06/2025: Excellent service and lovely staff

22/06/2025: If you are looking to eat somewhere, AVOID!!!! All the food was terrible quality. I got a pizza and it tasted like it was purchased in Centra and stuck in the oven. Disgusting. Staff are also untrained. Good atmosphere

21/06/2025: Good food selection of traditional Irish and other standard pub fare and a kids menu. Large establishment with lots of seating, local hurling matches on TV and cold drinks situated right on a very cool city street that's closed for pedestrian traffic only. Safe and clean, kids welcome

08/07/2025: One man working, took personal call with 5+ people waiting, and taking only one order ar a time

02/07/2025: The slowest coffee ever. Despite the short queue, I was waiting for nearly 20 minutes.

15/06/2025: Excellent bar. The staff are so lovely here. The only downside is smoking allowed in the (previously) outdoor area in the rear. It’s covered now so not sure how it’s allowed.

11/06/2025: Absolutely the best bar, warm, friendly, super relaxed atmosphere, I highly recommend 😃

11/06/2025: The service and the food were both excellent! It was unfortunately quite loud, but that wasn't the owner's fault.

08/06/2025: Very good service. Delicious food and more than generous portions. I recommend the lemon pie, which was spectacularly delicious. The pil-pil shrimp... their sauce was delicious, and the ribs. 10/10!

13/07/2025: First time here and we will return. The lady running FOH was very hospitable and runs a good show.

01/07/2025: Gorgeous food, welcoming staff and great site in the middle of Malahide. Will definitely return!

01/07/2025: Local pub well run 2 large function rooms up stairs large bar and lounge downstairs wheelchair accessible lift and parking and serves good bar food friendly staff

10/05/2025: A restaurant more than a pub. Big and spacious. We were there on Easter Sunday, and while busy, we didn't need a reservation.

16/07/2025: Lovely place to stay on vacation. Easy walk to Malahide Castle, beach, pubs, and rail into Dublin

15/07/2025: Beautiful hotel, lovely staff and great service throughout our stay

17/06/2025: 2025 Update It’s been some time since my last visit, and I’m delighted to report that this hotel remains as outstanding as ever. The staff are exceptionally well-trained, friendly, and always eager to help, making the entire experience truly enjoyable. The hotel is spotlessly clean, and while the rooms are compact, there’s ample storage for clothes and luggage, so space is never an issue. The food continues to impress, offering excellent quality and variety. Location-wise, you couldn’t ask for more. The hotel sits right next to the beach, perfect for long walks or a morning run if that’s your thing. Plus, it’s only a short drive along the scenic coast road to Malahide, where you’ll find fantastic bars and restaurants. All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking for comfort, convenience, and a memorable experience by the sea.

16/06/2025: We went to the Portmarnock resort for a half day spa visit. The entrance of the hotel, foyer and grounds are kept very well. Decor is fresh and modern throughout the areas we visited. The spa, main reception, reception level restaurant. Staff are attentive and friendly. The spa probably needs a little more attention, training and staff. As the reception isn’t manned while treatments are going on a s treatments seemed to be over lapping. Also one of the treatments I booked the therapist wasn’t trained in so had to offer an alternative. This was very disappointing as it’s the reason why we traveling an hour and 15 mins to the spa. Plus the post treatment treat of sorbet or fruit wasn’t offered. We had lunch in The Seaview. Nice menu. Good food options and tasty bites were received. Could do with a little more attention to detail below the table line, the floor could have done with cleaning ant crumbs or food that was dropped was being missed not too much so don’t be put off and above the table line well kept and maintained. Lovely views and decor so actually your eyes will not be drawn to the floor. Over all a very pleasant and enjoyable experience so we would return.

13/07/2025: Disgraceful “service”, I wanted to buy food but takeaway they said no they don’t do takeaway. That’s fine, after that I said can I just use the bathroom please they said I cannot it’s only for customers. I said that’s fine, I can buy something, a drink or whatever and they said NO!! They can’t only for customers with food. What world do you live in??? Id never return even to have food in a place like this!! The first waiter giving me looks up and down just because I wasn’t probably dressed appropriately for him, in regular shorts and t shirt coming from the beach!!! Avoid, because if there’s no humility in such a place, the food really doesn’t matter! Disgusting behaviour and you should be ashamed of yourself. Literally didn’t want to sell me any drink because I was not going to have any food. Get over yourselves! Ew!!!

08/07/2025: Go for the Seafood. But.......everything on the menu is great.

13/05/2025: The best café! Everything here is super tasty — the coffee, the cakes, the sandwiches… seriously, everything is delicious! But what really makes this place special is the people. The staff is so sweet and polite, and they’re always so kind and gentle with my baby. That wins my heart every time! It’s cozy, welcoming, and full of charm. I feel lucky to have found this gem so close to home. Totally recommended!

26/04/2025: An amazing local resource. Fabulous breads, pastry, hot snacks etc. Coffee is class, service very good. Highly recommended #supportlocal
