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!

Only the high chairs were available when we came as the others were occupied. The staff was lovely too. Came in later to get vanilla latte and that was delicious too! Great experience overall :)

18/01/2026: In the bar having a pint with my father , I’m not hard of hearing and the racing is way too loud to hear him speak sitting right beside him , we had asked to turn it down but one customer had controls of the tv remote and kept turning it up bookies right across the road

09/01/2026: Great pub and very efficient staff ,

12/02/2026: Really class new cocktail bar.. Great staff who will make whatever cocktail you want.. top end friendly service.. Will definitely be coming back .. they've obviously invested alot not just on the building but the best staff

11/02/2026: Just returned from a great stay at the Grand Hotel and would definitely revisit. Service & Staff were amazing and the Breakfast was great. Our only criticism was the rooms were very nice however could have done with a very small fridge and the grout around the base of the shower tray needed sprucing up. Do not let this put you off though as it is truly an amazing hotel and if we didn't have these couple of small niggles we would easily be rating it a 5 star.

01/01/2026: Hadn't been for years and really enjoyed the food.

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.
