The best restaurants in Malahide

06/04/2025: Amazon food and service. Fantastic value for money!

02/04/2025: Absolutely fantastic. Couldn't take a photo because we devoured the food. Lovely staff. Great view.

18/04/2025: Excellent experience! I was very surprised and impressed and the outstanding quality and top notch service. I went for the set menu which was fantastic value at €25 for 2 x courses with a good selection. I'd highly recommend the tagliatelle Alfredo. One of the best I've ever had and that's including in Italy. Amazing Smokey but creamy taste. Ate it so quickly I didn't get the chance to take a proper photo. Also had a lemoncello spritz, which was ok but a bit light on the lemoncello.

15/04/2025: Beautiful meal and staff very friendly

22/03/2025: Great food and cocktails. Really nice staff.

19/02/2025: This restaurant is amazing. It's a very romantic atmosphere & the staff are very accommodating. I've had no complaints here. I've been here twice - once about 3 months ago & one time about 4 years ago... I've had a pleasant experience both times I've been.

30/03/2025: Our party of 4 adults and 2 children called into this restaurant at 2 pm on a Saturday looking for a table, half expecting to be turned away as we could see all the tables were full ! However, the waiter with a smile said, "Let me see what I can do for you. While working on her Chrome book, looking how she could juggle her bookings around, said I can accommodate you, providing you will vacate your table by 3.30pm. A table had just become available, and we were settled comfortably into our seats. Looking around this restaurant, I was very taken by the decor and standard of finish. Our table was prepared very well and within a few minutes our orders were taken. Our drinks arrived quickly to my pleasure as sometimes you have to wait a long time when the restaurant you happen to be dining in is very busy. Anyway I could see that the restaurant was very well organised. Plenty of staff working harmlessly together delivering great service ! Our food orders were served together for our party of 6. We asked for vinegar and more ketchup, which arrived immediately. Our food was excellent, fish and chips, chicken burger with chips, steak and chips and burger and chips along with pancakes for one of the young boys. The food was hot and tasty and certainly was just what we wanted for a laid-back family lunch on a Saturday. We had coffees after our lunch. Our bill for the 6 was around €170.00 We left a tip which was well deserved by the attentive staff. We will be back .....

26/03/2025: I have dined here three times now and I will most definitely be returning

11/04/2025: Exceeded my expectations. Quality of food excellent. Shared a bowl of mussels, served in an njua sauce with focaccia. Than had the pan fried hake for mains which was served with veg on a divine tomato and basil sauce. 10/10. Very good value. Excellent service.

09/04/2025: Brilliant. Was recommended to us. Lovely spot on Malahide main street.

17/04/2025: They have great service and extremely friendly staff. Every time I visit for a meal or a drink I'm always impressed

06/04/2025: The food was lovely and the service was great. I would highly recommend the ribs

11/04/2025: Old Street is consistently excellent. The food is top-notch, and the wine list is perfect. Service is very slow, so takes from the overall experience.

27/03/2025: From the welcome to our depture from the restaurant everything was great. Our waiter Peter was very very professional and looked after us so well. Food excellent and portions very good. The neighbourhood menu was just lovely. Value for money 5 Star 🌟.

14/04/2025: Lovely little Italian restaurant, the staff were very friendly .Food was yummy and served quickly!

06/04/2025: Very good restaurant I really like I super recommend.

19/03/2025: Very disappointed as we caled in for lunch and was given a menu.Tables not cleared or those that were as we were at not wiped clean.One other table being used so quite inside three girls inside counter talking and one drinking a can beside the edge of counter We stayed over 10 minutes waiting to be served while trying to catch eye contact to order.More interested in talking to each other then serving customers or cleaning the tables.Went across the road to a large sports bar and the service plus the food was excellent.

16/03/2025: €17 for pint of Guinness and captain Morgan with diluted orange, this is outrageous it'll not enter this premises again never.

04/03/2025: Been living in Malahide my whole life and have had numerous family events in Duffys, my favourite pub and always has been. However, I was here on Sunday 2nd March with my best friend and her partner, and my 4 month old son. Our first encounter was when the manager (or at least he tried to act like a manager, and a micro one at that, I think his name was Ray) was absolutely horrible to one of the young part time girls who was probably still in school. She was attempting to make a coffee for a customer, and he came over to her and said something along the lines of “if THAT was served to you, would YOU drink it?” And got rid of it. She looked noticeably upset and belittled and understandably disheartened. Myself and my friend, both being in the hospitality sector, called her over and told her she was doing great and we appreciated her service. This “manager” once or twice kept butting into our conversation , and at one stage commented on my baby, who was smiling away at everyone, “my baby is cuter” Finally as I was leaving, my son was a bit unsettled due to teething, and had started crying , and again another comment “oh you’re a terrible woman dragging a man out of the pub” This gentleman needs a strict talking to, and should know perfectly well, especially if he IS in a managerial position, to NOT belittle and talk down to his colleagues in front of customers. And if you are to criticise, do it in private, and constructively, instead of making them feel awful. That poor girl, was clearly learning and didn’t need someone like that hovering over her in such a disheartening and discouraging manner. In all my years of coming to Duffys, whose staff are always incredible, I’ve never come across someone like this. Other than that, the food, atmosphere and service from other staff was amazing as usual

22/02/2025: Great bar with friendly staff and table service which was a nice surprise

01/04/2025: The best meniu that I tried. Friendly atmosphere. I can talk about cleanliness separately(which is a bit rare to see in Ireland, no bad smells or anything dirty), clean cutlery. Everything that I ordered was very tasty and well combined. The waiters know their job well and can advise you on what to choose. So they are part of very good team. I will definitely come back here. Highly recommend!

31/03/2025: Wonderful classic French bistro. Quaint and located across the street from the ocean. Seafood dishes range from traditional (fish and chips) to modern fusion (red Thai monk fish). All were equally good. The owners came out to greet each table and were extremely warm and engaging. Will return for sure when we travel back to Dublin in the future!

21/03/2025: Food is the star here. Congratulations to the chef & team. Best cooked breakfast to order in Dublin. Great coffee . Worth a visit

11/03/2025: Recently stopped in for a spot of brunch and couldn’t recommend enough! Staff were super friendly and service was so quick! French toast with bacon and maple syrup was great but my eyes were bigger than my belly and couldn’t finish it all, server kindly recommend that I order the smaller kids portion the next time I visit. Looking forward to another visit soon!

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.

30/03/2025: Another beautiful meal and amazing live music.. Delicious food with exceptional taste and quality Siam is a perfect choice for any occasion ☘️

21/03/2025: Amazing food and service. The only thing I’d say is that the table we had was dimly lit. A bit more light would have been better for me. But again: the food’s absolutely fantastic!

23/03/2025: Pretty good in general. Avoid the pizza - poor.

06/03/2025: First stop for food while in Ireland, I had fish and chips + a coke, the fish was perfectly fried and the chips were crunchy on the inside and soft on the outside. Great meal!
