12/11/2025: Claimed the carrot and coriander soup was vegetarian when I asked specifically and I found a massive chicken bone in it after I'd eaten half of it 😔 I don't feel they really cared either!

09/08/2025: Ordered a cappuccino for €4.20 which is quite expensive, it was cold and very weak. Lots of other coffee shops on this street, I don't recommend this one.

02/12/2025: Excellent speciality coffee, Friendly staff, love their Acai

07/07/2025: I really like Taste of the Med. The menu is expansive, with a specialist menu for health. Every food allergy can be catered for. Coffee is good here. The staff are consistently excellent. Unfortunately, it’s not possible to leave an electronic tip. Only cash, if you happen to have some on you. I hope the management rectify this issue as quickly as possible, it’s completely unfair to the ground staff. Sara was running around making sure everyone was attended to. During a particularly busy day, a concert in the castle day, she was excellent. I could see the frustration of customers when they couldn’t add a tip to their card payment. Those passing through won’t come back with cash to tip a young person. At least I could. I have older kids so this issue really bugs me as they need the money for college life. I missed seeing Kirsten there, she’s another wonderful member of staff from my previous visits!

13/12/2025: Got fillet steak ,was dry tasteless and bad texture. The manager said he tasted my steak, ...after i ate it ,and he said it was fine.! He suggested I was wrong and he was right. Very unacceptable. No suggestion of a compensation and full bill charged. Very unusual for him to taste my remaining food, and was very dismissive. Not Good.

07/12/2025: Lovely Italian restaurant. Good choice of food and wine options. Early bird menu is best value. Lovely, friendly staff. Great atmosphere. Best seats have a window view of New Street. Reasonably priced for Malahide. Recommended.

03/12/2025: you would get a better cup of coffee out of Aldi or Lidl come on lads where are you getting your coffee

19/10/2025: Very nice servers and the coffee was decent.

03/01/2026: Still the best in Malahide for food value and service - will continue to return to this local Gem

03/01/2026: Excellent food and service. Very enjoyable.

21/11/2025: We have been going to the orchid for 40 years and have had some lovely times there,but Friday night 21st November was a disaster we booked table for 7.30 and we still did not even order at 8 o'clock. I must say we asked to move tables when we arrived as we were in a bad corner down the steps which is never used. we booked a week in advance and to be treated like this was deplorable. When I asked about ordering we were ignored and left sitting we were shocked and left straight away. Sad to say we will never go back they seem to be taken over more with the takeaways then the people in the restaurant.

26/10/2025: The menu was surprisingly extensive. Complimentary prawn crackers whetted our appetites, and we tucked into crispy spring rolls (more noodle and mushroom than pork, lifted by a necessary sweet & sour sauce), deep-fried chicken wings (crisp but a little overcooked and overly sweet from the honey), and juicy pan-fried pork dumplings with black vinegar. We shared a main of chicken in black bean sauce with green pepper and onions—flavourful and satisfyingly fresh—on the side, a simple, egg-laden fried rice. Drinks included Sapporo beers and a reasonably priced Table Mountain Sauvignon Blanc.

19/11/2025: I popped into Seomra Tae in Malahide on Monday, hoping for a relaxing cup of tea and a bite to eat, but honestly it was quite a disappointing experience. The place was clearly understaffed there was just one girl trying to do absolutely everything. She was taking orders, serving tables, clearing up, and trying to manage the till all at once. She looked completely overwhelmed, and although she was doing her best, the service was incredibly slow and a bit chaotic. It really wasn’t fair on her, and as a customer it didn’t make for a pleasant visit. For a busy spot in Malahide, I expected better organisation and more staff on duty. Unfortunately, I left more stressed than when I arrived. Not somewhere I’d be rushing back to unless they sort out their staffing issues.

26/10/2025: Lovely scones, brown bread, and tea. Staff was friendly and prompt. Overall a super spot for an afternoon snack.

01/12/2025: Place was lovely toilets not attended to at night packed with Xmas parties everyone merry except the staff who barely smiled and looked like they don't want to be there

30/11/2025: No pictures taken as the food was looking amazing, couldn’t help it! The waitress was super friendly and attentive. We sat next to the kitchen and could see all product was fresh and was done at the moment (for example the burgers) Will come back go sure!

09/10/2025: A restaurant serving Italian cuisine and wines. The food was average – the tagliata, with its toppings, especially the artichoke, was very good, but the meat could have been better and less stringy. The service was quite inconsistent – ​​I was served by two waitresses, one quite good, while the other seemed to be learning. I wasn't asked about the doneness of the meat, and sitting at the back of the room, I felt somewhat overlooked (the other waitress was serving the people sitting at the table in front of me and didn't even pay attention to me).

22/09/2025: Harry's had a strange atmosphere. The owner/manager seemed to be micromanaging the staff and they were almost too attentive to us. Our food was okay. Nice presentation, good authentic food, but lacking in seasoning. For the price, you could find somewhere better. We weren't wowed. There was also a dog inside which seemed to belong to one of the staff. It barked during our meal and jumped at my wife on the way out and began barking as we left. There shouldn't be animals in a food establishment, nor should they be offputting to people. Edit to add, since the restaurant responded to my review: there was no salt and pepper on our table, nor were we offered any. I also make a habit of trying not to add any seasonings at the table, preferring to appreciate the meal as the chef intended it to taste. In this case, it was not incredibly flavourful.

01/11/2025: Lovely gent made my coffee today was very friendly and accommodating even though it was busy and I could see him and another girl was flat out working behind the counter, it put a big smile on my face as the little things go a long way! 🥰 Thanks king

21/10/2025: Very friendly staff, the coffee tastes great.

25/11/2025: The menu was very limited and the restaurant area was very cold (I had to keep my coat on all the time). I will definitely not be recommending this place to others - steer clear!

30/08/2025: The food was absolutely delicious. Great view from the restaurant and very kind staff.
