The best restaurants in Malahide

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!

07/12/2025: Very friendly atmosphere with a prompt service and acccomated every request with a smile , will definitely return!

01/12/2025: Great food and great staff . Highly recommended

05/12/2025: We were a group of 6 and visited the restaurant on a very wet and windy afternoon in early December.It was well worth the visit. Four of our group had prawns to start while I had aubergine bruscetta and one had tomato bruscetta. The mains were pizza, four varied pasta dishes and one salmon dish One of party had a pistachio profiterole for dessertand four finished their meal with coffee/tea. All the food was very well presented and very tasty and the red wine recommended hit the right spot. The service was excellent and with the wine the bill came to Euro 238 excluding the tip. I would highly recommend this restaurant whether you are from the area or a visitor. o of us ha

12/12/2025: Every time we dine at this wonderful restaurant, we are always very satisfied. The place is well furnished and well cared for, and during the Christmas season it becomes even more charming.

13/10/2025: Malahide is an expensive town to get lunch. Went into this pub. Very typical old style pub.

07/10/2025: A bar on a picturesque shopping street in Malahide. We wandered in by chance and were pleasantly surprised. Decent food at a reasonable price in a spacious venue with 70s-80s decor.

12/12/2025: Lovely coffee on a nice day Thank you!

11/12/2025: We stayed in the Penfhouse Suit Room 500. What an amazing experience and the staff were the best hotel staff we have ever come accross. Amazing....

10/12/2025: It truly is a Grand Hotel and right on the beach almost, with beautiful coasta lviews,though we were slightly disappointed by breakfast

07/12/2025: Incredible food and flawless service Seabank Bistro is simply fantastic. The food was delicious and perfectly prepared, but the service was also incredible—attentive, friendly, and professional. You can tell the team here really cares about what they do; the standard is just something else. A 5-star experience from start to finish.

06/12/2025: Very nice and cosy place. Staff is very professional and friendly. Food selection is very good and my personal best is sea food starter for two (unfortunately I didn't take a photo but I'll do it nexttime when I come back). Wine selection of red and white is good and easy to find good wine. Atmosphere is friendly and good place to visit with family or partner. Prices are not low but for service and quality of good reasonable.

26/12/2025: Ordered boneless wings, they brought chicken tenders - they're not the same thing

22/12/2025: Brilliant bar great atmosphere, nice food and friendly staff. Really good for sport also.

21/12/2025: The food is absolutely delicious, the location, interior and view is so warming and inviting. The staff are professional and friendly. I will definitely be coming back. I’m not someone who writes reviews but this place deserves one.

08/12/2025: Unfortunately they have cremated the bread. The pate crostini nothing I have imagined. Pate almost inexistent! Left the entire thing on the platter and the waiter never bothered to ask if there is anything wrong with that plate. Kind advice don’t decorate the bread with random things! For €14 I’ll prefer to have more generous quantity of pate that I get to put it on the bread myself! Price does not match the quality.
