The best restaurants in Malahide

08/05/2026: We have just had a wonderful evening at the Gr west Goose; fantastic atmosphere and service made particularly enjoyable by Annette & Island - do not give this a miss

06/05/2026: I can't recommend this restaurant enough! With a tapas style menu, you get to enjoy several different dish types with flavors that are unique and delicious. My family and I enjoyed every dish, including the goat cheese dip, tuna (with a wonderful wasabi sorbet), surf and turf, buratta, scallops, and pork croquettes with a lemongrass sauce that was out of this world. We also enjoyed the intimate atmosphere and friendly service. All around a great pick if you get the chance!

11/04/2026: The staff were extremely accommodating of our walk in without a reservation and still got us seated and gave us a high chair. We only shared pizzas and they were average but will come back and check this place out again as the ribs looked good and the service was very welcoming.

05/04/2026: Update on our 3rd trip in 2026 .. still superb. Love this place. Ribs are beyond stunning.

16/04/2026: Had an incredible experience, food was deliciosa and staff and really kind and friendly.

16/04/2026: Top-quality Italian food. Reservations required. Always busy.

22/02/2026: Excellent experience! I was there yesterday, and Taha, the chef, made the best steak I’ve ever had in my life. Absolutely delicious! Highly recommended!

15/01/2026: Excellent service! Perfect beer! I highly recommend it!

21/03/2026: First time trying this cafe, as every time I have passed before could not gain entry due to how popular it is 😊 Went on a quieter weekday lunch time and had ham & cheese toastie with a white coffee. My friend had veggie burrito and an iced matcha latte. Food is hearty and coffee is good . Staff friendly indoor and some outdoor seating available also. Good veggie and vegan options.

28/02/2026: Great food spot/cafe in the heart of Malahide. Delicious food and great service!

30/12/2025: What a wonderful experience. Food was a culinary delight and the service was attentive without being intrusive. Lovely atmosphere and a great view of the sea. Will definitely return and recommend

20/12/2025: The food was nice but nothing particularly special. However the staff were really friendly and the atmosphere was lovely. I had a lovely relaxed brunch with a nice view. I would eat here again.

14/03/2026: Incredibly impressed with the food. Definitely coming back to try their dinner menu at some point

14/02/2026: The food was incredible. Had the Prawns and a steak sandwich, both of which exceeded our expectation. The staff is just the right amount of attentive and are extremely friendly. Only note I would have is the music was a tiny bit loud, making it hard to hear each other

24/03/2026: Honestly, I might’ve walked in with a high expectation on the food. I’ve had the chicken Milanese which was alight, the breading was a bit soggy, didn’t have any taste of lemon which in my opinion is essential in that dish and i don’t why they added some sweet yellow paste in there, which in my opinion just ruins the point of the chicken Milanese because frankly why would a salty and lemon ish dish would have something so sweet in it?.my gf had some sea food pasta she really enjoyed it. But apart from that Milanese great place. Love the aesthetic of the building👍

23/03/2026: Alfredo gave me the most amazing service. Unbelievable, early bird menu. Thank you Alfredo. I’ll be back!

21/04/2026: 2026 and we have come back again. Still, as ever, Gibney's doesn't disappoint. The food was very tasty and value for money. The staff are excellent, warm and friendly (everything you expect from the Irish people). It is a place we are always looking forward to visiting on our trips to Ireland. This time it was in an evening and quite busy, a little claustrophobic and noisy but what do you expect from a popular drinking establishment! Still worth it

15/04/2026: The food and service were exceptional.

11/04/2026: Lovely experience from start to finish. Great atmosphere, amazing food and great service! Dawid topped the experience with brilliant customer service which was much appreciated. Will come back. Highly recommended.

10/04/2026: Incredible food, I went during Easter and their set menu was fantastic. What makes it stand out is the level of personal service. Was a fantastic experience overall!

20/04/2026: "Disappointing return visit today. I used to really enjoy coming here, but it feels like the maintenance has slipped—the tables and outdoor chairs are in need of a deep clean and some repair. I also found the portions to be quite small for the cost, and the coffee lacked flavor. It’s a shame to see such a nice spot lose its spark; I hope the management takes a look at these details to bring the quality back up."

06/04/2026: The breakfast was incredible as was the mimosa! I recommend the avocado, poached eggs, salmon and rocket on their brioche Toast, it was 5 stars all the way!!! but... I also ordered the carrot cake which I was really dissapointed with, hence the 4 stars and not 5.

11/04/2026: Very cold seating. Cold atmosphere. Burger was ok.

04/04/2026: Great service - Great Staff 5 🌟

24/04/2026: Great spot, good atmosphere, comfy seats. Didn't try the food but the cocktails are great!

29/03/2026: Service was dreadful, for the amount of staff standing around talking to each other. All the bar men behind the bar where constantly in chats that people were left waiting to be served. I think when you are paying Temple Bar prices for a pint a little service goes a long way

14/04/2026: They don't have a drink menu for soft drinks and beer, only for wine. My wife and kids had yellow curry, which was also on the kids menu and marked as mild. After the first bite, the kids started crying because the food was spicy and burned their tongues. The taste was bland, almost not good. For us, this is definitely the worst Thai restaurant we've ever been to.

12/04/2026: So my 14 year old son and I have been going for over 10 years once a month every month. He liked the kids prawns and chips. Today the staff refused to allow us to get him food from kids menu saying he is too old which I think is so unfair. But apparently rules are rules and as he is older than 12 he couldn’t order off kids menu. So I told them I will never return and I mean it. So you made your extra 10 euro but you lost about 1000 of business per year. It’s not much but it is never full and we always eat and left as quick as McDonald’s and looking to charge kids adult prices is just greedy if you ask me…

15/03/2026: Best view points for forth bridges.

04/03/2026: Very nice hotel in a great location.
