The best restaurants in Malahide

16/03/2026: Love this place, indoor and outdoor seating and nice range of snacks and food, nice friendly staff

15/03/2026: Nice for relaxed morning breakfast with nice green windows view. Hot chocolate is too sweet but OK. Good service, quiet place.

09/08/2026: A little gem of a restaurant with great food, friendly staff, and a lovely atmosphere. Really enjoyed my visit and will definitely be back for the Arancini balls ❤️

02/07/2026: Group dinner. No request too big or too small. And dog friendly too. Book or walk in although preferably book.

15/08/2026: Good food, amazing atmosphere. People are very nice. Gabriel attended us and he was vire friendly

17/07/2026: Great food cooked by awesome guys! 👍

24/08/2026: Called into Fowlers for a quick bite to eat, absolutely disgusted at the staff attitude, staff eating icecreams, totally dismissed us, stated kitchen closed, this was at 6.30pm, other customers had just ordered while others were eating, extremely disappointed will not be back, plenty of other options in Malahide for quality food at a better price.

22/08/2026: The food was very good, the children's menu had generous portions. The TV volume was a little loud, but otherwise everything was perfect.

24/08/2026: Food was exceptional, especially the chicken biryani, unfortunately the service was the worst I’ve experienced in a very long time. Perhaps the waitress was having a bad day but she was extremely rude and to be honest I had considered leaving on we were in a group and didn’t want to cause a scene. Won’t return and wouldn’t recommend

21/08/2026: The food and my server Hamid made it a 10/10 experience for me. The food is all so tasty and Hamid was very attentive with great recommendations. You’re missing out if you don’t come here

31/07/2026: A gorgeous place for a coffee and bite to eat. The cakes are gorgeous and the coffee first class. Thanks you to the staff who were so friendly and welcoming and let me sit working for an hour or two while I waited for my daughter to finish a camp at the facility. I would certainly come back. Thanks again

15/05/2026: I love the cafe in The Pastoral Centre under the new management. The athmosphere is warm and welcoming and the service is great. The menu offers a good mix of sweet and savoury dishes but the highlight has to be the pastries- freshly baked by Breege, a pastry chef. Definitely worth a visit.

12/09/2026: Manager treats staff HORRIBLY, and found hair in my food, and it stinks in there

08/09/2026: Great food always cooked perfectly. Staff and manager always friendly and even remember my face after being away for nearly a year. Love this place ❤️

30/05/2026: Bought 2 slices(9 euro each) from the van at Bloom, absolutely disgusting pizza, no cheese at all and barley any pepperoni, and what was there was burnt , base was good but couldn’t make up for what was very over priced and poor.

22/04/2026: Unbelievable pizza! The best I’ve ever had in Ireland. The san marzano tomato sauce is 🤤🤤🤤🤤 can’t wait to have again

09/05/2026: Best fish and chips! And Garlic mayo is always the right answer

12/03/2026: I went there last week for the 1st time and ordered 2 quarter pounders, chips & onion rings. Food tasted great, they were fast with the order and the girl with curly hair at the counter was really nice!! Would recomend ⭐

30/08/2026: Very disappointed with our experience here. I just want to clarify that the food was decent and the atmosphere of the restaurant was good. I also want to stress that the servers were working extra hard and very pleasant. I could not fault them. All staffed looked super stretched. At one point, I even saw a staff member run from the adjacent Steak restaurant to a table to give the a cariff of water and then run back to the steak restaurant. The service ended up being quite poor which took away from the experience. We were waiting for one of tapas dishes for ages and offered dessert menu before it came. It was if they forgot we were waiting on this this tapas dish. We were offered dessert and then were sitting for over 40 mins on the dessert to come out so we cancelled but it was as if the server forgot. Our drinks were left empty for ages and no one was checking in on us and we were handed wrong dishes so it was if the servers were overwehlemed and couldnt remember or just do basic aspects of their jobs. Tables around us weren't being cleared either We were a bit annoyed by the managers response when we commented on the service- two people didn't show up for work so it seemed like we just have to deal with it and take it on the chin for them. Not our fault and think this should have been communicated from the onset or we could have had a drink or two knocked off the bill which would have been appreciated for the poor service. We saw on the bill that it's owned by a chain so a free round of drinks wouldn't put the company out....

28/08/2026: Went to Tore on a Wednesday around 7.30pm no booking and honestly, you’d swear it was Saturday night 😂 The place was absolutely hopping full house, candles glowing, dark autumn evening outside. Two lovely ladies looked after us and the service was brilliant. They also do a great Wednesday deal. Food was gorgeous pil pil was delicious, although I’d happily take a bit more fire . Tempura was beautiful, chorizo was unreal, steak was spot on and the croquetas were fantastic, because frankly, if you don’t order croquetas in a tapas bar, why are you even there? Great food, great service, brilliant atmosphere and a restaurant absolutely buzzing midweek.

10/09/2026: Hengui, fenlianghenshao, It's expensive and the portion is small.

27/08/2026: The trains had broken down and we'd been stuck on it for 30-50 mins and my phone had died by the time we went back and were let off at Malahide. Everyone else was ordering taxis and I couldn't flag down anything. Decided to finally head into KOA right by the taxi ranks to wait until it was calmer. They were lifesavers. I asked if I could borrow a charger and they leant me one and gave me a table right by a socket. They were super quick with service and very attentive. The food was lovely and the portions so generous that I had to take the rest home. I was able to charge my phone and get a lift. Staff were so nice and helpful and I left there in way higher spirits then when I entered!

02/08/2026: I just had one of the most beautifully prepared meals I’ve had in ages. Perfectly cooked, perfectly seasoned, beautifully presented. I showed up alone, underdressed and without a reservation on a busy holiday weekend and the staff was able to accommodate me and treated me very well. I will think fondly of this meal for quite some time and would come back again were I not departing the area tomorrow. I truly can’t say enough kind things about the food! Highly recommend.

09/06/2026: Always lovely to arrive into Sale e Pepe as feels like home as know all the staff for so long now

25/08/2026: I went there with friends, and from the moment we arrived, we were treated very poorly. I would not recommend this place to anyone because of the owner’s lack of manners and respect.

21/08/2026: The ambience here is amazing! The staff is very friendly, and the food came out fast. Good food and a variety of cocktails. Must try!

06/09/2026: Great service, friendly waitresses, delicious food, and quick service We were very satisfied

11/08/2026: Looked nice from outside. But holy lord, seats/floor covered in crumbs, waiting staff with no clue. Ordered steak pieces which were cold, when mentioned to waitress she stared blankly at the dish for a while and then went to talk to chef. Open kitchen and said waitress and kitchen staff whispering about this for a while and then we r told it was straight off pan! Chef in open kitchen never acknowledged this. Any chef worth their salt would be mortified and insist on rectifying this. Oh well, we won’t b back. So many other great places to eat in malahide. I give this place a year! Better service and professionalism in the gelato shop next door.

16/08/2026: Excellent food, friendly staff on great atmosphere!

29/07/2026: My daughter attended a birthday dinner with 14 teenagers . She is coeliac and ordered the pasta. When it arrived it was too hard to put a fork through it. She asked for it to be change and the manager told her that’s how they cook it ‘Al Dente’ . He was rude and refused to accept the fact that the pasta was not cooked. Gluten free pasta takes much longer to cook than regular pasta. He embarrassed her in front of her friends and still charged her for the food. This is unacceptable, bad management and not a good environment for a group of young people . Will not be returning
