The best restaurants in Malahide

11/05/2025: Our Uber driver recommended this place. He described it as an Irish tapas bar, which was a pretty good description. We had small plates that were French/Japanese. flavorful sauces, and a beautifully displayed. It was probably the best restaurant and food. I’ve been to in five years. Totally unexpected but fabulous. I had mussels, scallops, salmon, and steak, lamb, and shrimp.

08/05/2025: A gem of a restaurant with truly delicious food, with the menu changing all the time, but never disappoints! Make sure you go when you are hungry! Simon and his kitchen crew produce amazing food which will bring you back again and again. Super location too in Malahide village with a fabulous view. Lastly, but by no means least....Magda and Annetta are quite simply amazing! Nothing is ever a problem for them and they always ensure the smooth running of the restaurant. (There are often quite large parties there). I could not praise them highly enough! Well done Magda, Annetta and all your team for making the Greedy Goose a real gem!

18/05/2025: We booked the wrong restaurant but I'm glad we did and I'm giving this 5 stars as we have a lovely meal and the staff were great. The menu is wide but not so wide as to wonder how they make so much food.

15/05/2025: Lovely Food , I Came Here For Lunch With Friend , Pizza Was Lovely , Really Lovely Staff , Would Highly Recommend To Everyone

22/05/2025: I'm sure it is grand but I don't think I was there. I had a few pints in gibneys, the diamond and Duffy's.

06/05/2025: The 4 of us had a wonderful lunch. I recommend the fish and chips. Beautiful bar & restaurant. The music was a little loud but they turned it down for us.

10/05/2025: We had the afters of our wedding here last week. There were 42 of us in total (including children who were welcomed by the restaurant and happily played) and everyone said it was incredible, the service was fantastic (we dealt mainly with Elaine - she’s great!). David was fantastic too. The food was delicious, the wine list had something for everyone and the margaritas were great. I couldn’t fault anything and will be recommending old street to everyone. We will absolutely be going back soon.

05/05/2025: Fantastic as always, would highly recommend!

03/05/2025: Very delicious food. I order mushroom chicken and was for 25euros which was a bit more than it should cost.

26/04/2025: I’ve been there twice and the food it’s amazing!! They have gluten free options, I got the poached eggs with halloumi, also the mussels, sooo good. I definitely recommend this place and I will come back. Also the workers there really nice.

16/05/2025: They have great service and extremely friendly staff. Every time I visit for a meal or a drink I'm always impressed

11/05/2025: Was expecting more from this restaurant. Food was nice, not fantastic or anything. For the price of food, i expect better. Don't think i would return.

04/05/2025: Being on the coast there are not many places to eat good fish. We chose this one because the posts had photos of fish. Well, without further ado, for me monkfish doesn't need that much sauce... it came, as I saw in the photo, "loaded" with sauce... when for a good monkfish, a grill and a little sauce on the side for the customer to manage as they see fit is more than enough.

04/05/2025: Dining at Seabank Bistro in Malahide was an absolute delight from start to finish. Tucked away in one of Ireland’s most charming coastal towns, this bistro is a true hidden gem for seafood lovers. The menu celebrates the ocean in the most tasteful way — fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. I tried the prawns to start . For the main course, the lobster and chef’s linguine with seafood , and beautifully complemented by a medley of seasonal vegetables and a light lemon butter sauce. What truly sets Seabank apart is the atmosphere. With cozy interiors, soft lighting, and a view of the harbour, it’s the ideal setting for both a romantic evening and a relaxed gathering with friends. The staff were exceptional — knowledgeable, warm, and genuinely passionate about the food and service. Seabank Bistro doesn’t just serve seafood — it serves memories. A must-visit if you’re in Malahide or anywhere nearby.

21/05/2025: I liked the place. It was cheerful and the waiters served us very well. A place to meet friends

13/05/2025: A great pub in Malahide, supporter outdoor area and good food Gibneys is a must visit it you get to Malahide

13/05/2025: The steaks are bomb)) and the girls are beautiful, I'm talking about the staff))

04/05/2025: Booked for a Friday evening. Sat outside for a drink. Let the waitress know we had a table booked. Moved inside and noticed McGoverns had emailed me saying we were 15 mins late, which we weren't. We both had a steak, mine the fillet, and my husband, the rib eye. Honestly, this meal was 10 out of 10. I had garlic roast potatoes with mine, and everything I got was so tasty. I had booked other restaurants in Malahide and being honest could have happily dined here for the weekend. Service outside wasn't so great, but inside was a different story, excellent service. We have dined here before, not sure why it's not the number one place to dine in Malahide, in my view the food is delicious. Definitely be back!

03/05/2025: Nice atmosphere and good Italian food—nothing over the top, but enjoyable. Prices are a bit high, though expected for the location. Service was excellent and very welcoming, definitely the highlight of the evening. Only downside was being charged €3 per bottle for filtered water without being asked—two bottles were brought out and barely touched. Still, a good experience overall. Thanks to the staff for the warm service!

27/04/2025: Very attentive staff and lovely food last night thank you.

13/05/2025: Had a really great breakfast at my most recent visit. They were busy but we got a seat at the bar & both ordered the Deja Vu breakfast. It was delicious 💚

02/05/2025: Very delicious food,nice staff and great atmosphere

09/04/2025: Oh dear ! So disappointed. Our 40th wedding anniversary. Were upgraded to the executive wing. Freezing. Don't do it if you have a choice. Asked for heat. No. Got a heater. And they didn't turn it on. Just not acceptable today. Completely spoilt our occasion. Never again.

12/03/2025: Beautiful place to spend time with friends.

26/05/2025: Good pints although getting on the expensive side

24/05/2025: Had the Guinness pie and it was delicious 😋

05/05/2025: No highlights. Average food and service. A restaurant trimmed for high throughput.

29/04/2025: Used to eat here a lot before the pandemic .Revisited recently and was reminded why we stopped going . Staff were very good ,doing their best. Food was below average ….at best . I am not sure what the previous reviewers are comparing to ,but I would say average food is a fair call,in my opinion .

27/04/2025: We came here for brunch without a booking. Thankfully they accommodated us but only for an hour because they’re fully booked. The food arrived quickly. Service is spot on. Full Irish breakfast is delish! Kinder bueno pancake is ordinary. Hassle free parking is a bonus!

26/04/2025: Always lovely with a beautiful view
