The best restaurants in Malahide

19/04/2026: The worst biryani I’ve had so far 😬— it tasted more like a mix of tomato rice and lemon rice rather than authentic biryani. The pricing is quite high, and it’s disappointing that even basic accompaniments like naan or rice are not included with gravies and have to be ordered separately🫤. That said, the service was good, and the butter chicken tasted really nice. But overall, not worth the price for the quality.

31/03/2026: The food is generally okay, but the biryani was very disappointing, and the waiter was not pleasant. The atmosphere is nice. I really wish they would add more flavour to the chicken in the biryani - it tasted like boiled chicken was added at the end. I did like the paneer curry and the chicken starters.

27/02/2026: The Scottish woman behind the counter is so lovely.

09/05/2026: Lovely food but won’t allow customers to come in with a dog. Time to update your archaic policy maybe?

03/05/2026: Good option of Fish & Chips to take to the park in front and have a leisurely drink on your visit to Malahide. Great for a walk and then having an ice cream visiting the beach with the change of tide.

18/04/2026: The food was delicious and very high quality. The duck wings for starter were amazing and the steak was cooked to perfection. Great value for money and the service from Ciara was the icing on the cake. Overall a very enjoyable experience.

06/04/2026: We had a really lovely meal for Easter in Ribeye, tuna crudo and bruschetta were really delicious to start and steak was fantastic but the real standout was the service. Ciara was such a gem, super friendly and warm and gave excellent recommendations on wine. She made us feel so welcome and looked after. Emma was brilliant also, super attentive without being overbearing and also just a really friendly face. While the food is great the staff are really a credit to the place

22/12/2025: Oh-this was such a great experience! My partner and I had some food here, we really enjoyed it. I had the fruit and yoghurt and he had the pesto, eggs and bread. So freshly prepared, the music was lovely and staff so friendly. Absolute recommend!😍

06/12/2025: Never disappoints. Great pizza (particularly the pancetta, with hot honey 👌🏻) and always a cozy village feel with great service! Would recommend.

06/12/2025: Great spot for a gorgeous brunch. Where it was possible to have a conversation. Staff lovely too.

25/11/2025: Group of 8 last night food was amazing, would highly recommend

27/10/2025: Lovely little spot for a cozy drink and excellent food. Pizza was exceptional and the wife raved about her seafood dish. Just two Yanks wandering the town got lucky when we walked in Malahide Social. Give it a try if you're in the area.

22/10/2025: I went to Malahide Social for dinner last Saturday evening. It was the first time I’d been there since they changed from Mario’s so wasn’t sure what to expect. From the moment I stepped inside to the time I left I had such a lovely experience. Food - delicious and beautifully presented. Cocktails - looked as great as they tasted - shout out to Abbie 🍸 Menu - great selection of food - pasta, pizza, burgers,etc. And very good value. Service/ Team - the team were so professional and very friendly and accommodating to any requests for changes in some of the dishes. Caoimhe and Aileen looked after us and couldn’t have been more pleasant. We met the owner and he was a gentleman. (Sorry I can’t remember his name). It was easy to see why the atmosphere was so good - he chose a great team who worked extremely well together. I made a return booking before I left so I think that says it all. If you’ve not been - make a booking, you won’t be disappointed. If you have been you know what I’m talking about.
