The best restaurants in Malahide

27/07/2025: Had it from their truck at our park fair.. so tasty! The dough was light and the tomato 🍅 sauce was one of the nicest Iv had 👌

02/03/2025: 5 Stars across the board. Tried Paddy's Pizza Pies for the first time in Malahide and I wish I could give them a higher rating than the maximum of 5. The service was outstanding, really welcoming and friendly. My son had a blast and even got a sticker (he loves it so much, he is still wearing it today). Then we get to the Pizzas, these are to die for. The highest quality and at a reasonable price, brought me straight back to Napoli, dare I say, they were even better! Paddy, your goats cheese pizza is a masterpiece. Keep up the outstanding service, will be back to you soon.

14/09/2025: Best meal we had in Ireland. Steak was divine, truffle fries next level and side of greens a lovely level if flavour.

31/08/2025: Had a meal here last night – overall – really enjoyed it. Firstly, the menu is excellent – the choice/options of dishes are perfect – something for everyone – and everything sounded delicious. We opted for the Burrata and the Croquettes to start. The Burrata dish was presented really well and everything was really fresh. Main negative would be that it was lacking a little seasoning. The croquettes were okay. Whilst the outside was perfectly cooked, perfectly crunchy – the inside was far too soft and the Iberico ham was seriously lacking. Whilst the cherry tomato garnish was very tasty – there was far too much garlic – it overpowered the dish. However, my major criticism with the dish would be that it was not very hot – for something that’s deep-fried, it was just about room-temperature – and really detracted from the overall experience of the dish. We both went with steak for mains = 1 Fillet (medium rare) and 1 Striploin (medium). Firstly – they were perfectly cooked. It is the first time in a very, very, very long time that both of our steaks came out exactly as ordered – 99% of the time, at least 1 of our steaks will be either under cooked or over cooked. But not last night – they were perfect. I had the truffle fries – absolutely delicious. My wife had the green beans and mashed potato – whilst both tasted great – she felt the sesame seeds detracted from the green beans – and the potatoes were too buttery. We both went with the peppercorn sauce – whilst very nice – we’ve had better – plus, the portion size was a little on the stingy side. Again – the food could have been hotter. Because the temperature was lower than it should have been we felt a tad rushed eating it so that it wasn’t cold before we finished it. However, the flavours were excellent. One major plus for the restaurant – the staff are absolutely fantastic – so, so friendly and professional. Despite the minor negatives – we still felt we would like to return. If you’re in Malahide and feel like a steak – go to Ribeye – overall, it is worth it.

20/07/2025: Service was good. Food was 3/5. Very disappointed that the only Alcohol Free White Wine on the menu was out of stock.

07/06/2025: Great traditional Italian food, great ambience and fantastic staff. Owner (Andreo) was a fantastic host

04/05/2025: I love my cappuccino in this cafe every morning on my walk around the castle 🏰

11/03/2025: The renovation last year was great, and the atmosphere is really nice while watching my kid play tennis. However, I was disappointed to see that the toastie with cheese, which I used to get for my son before practice, was no longer available—only meat options were offered. Also, tables were left dirty for a long time. I hope this place doesn’t deteriorate because it has a lot of potential. Good WiFi, nice place to sit with a laptop.

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!

25/06/2025: Over charged for our food. Pointed out she was charging for a cappuccino we didn’t have and just proceeded anyway Not as nice as it used to be. Extremely disappointed

21/08/2025: Soggy and mushy burgers. They look like delivery guy was siting on them. Portion of chips soggy as well and literally 15 pieces for 5 euro.

15/08/2025: Poke bowl with grilled salmon was so good and the Feijoada was so wholesome :) staff super friendly

30/06/2025: Food is lovely. Disappointed though that menu described online as takeaway was not available. But v disappointed that I was charged 1€ for a sachet of tomato sauce.

24/05/2025: Lovely pizza, never disappointed

15/07/2025: We ended up stopping here for dinner by chance and we couldn’t be happier with our choice. The menu is impressively varied, offering something for every taste, and the atmosphere is warm, cozy, and intimate, perfect for a relaxed evening. Everything was exceptional, from the attentive, friendly service to the delicious, beautifully presented food. It’s easily one of the best dining experiences we’ve had in Dublin. Highly recommend.

20/05/2025: First time we visited the service was amazing. We visited recently and unfortunately the service was not up to standard. We were also charged 6€ for a bottle of water. Very expensive. 24€ for aain dish excluding a side. We will be looking for another place . Sad because the food is lovely

25/06/2025: Came in for a spice bag and was not disappointed, very generous portions!

14/06/2025: My absolute favourite Chinese of all time, curry sauce is unreal

03/08/2025: Out with friends and everyone really enjoyed the food. Lovely atmosphere with very friendly and welcoming staff. Excellent value for money. Always a great experience at KOA 🙌 🙏

14/07/2025: Excellent restaurant in the heart of Malahide. Very welcoming owners, and truly authentic Asian food! Lovely relaxing atmosphere inside the restaurant, and great option for takeaway too. I always come back here when in Malahide.

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.

01/08/2025: From the moment we arrived we loved everything. We enjoyed some fabulous food with calamari, flatbread, arancini, scallops all Washed down with a. Beautiful bottle of Duoro and Grace was a lovely friendly front of house who was happy to make recommendations. We will be back for more 😍🍾

26/06/2025: Never disappoints. Top quality every time

24/06/2025: Beautiful produce, great staff. The best soda bread in Dublin!

25/08/2025: Mondays. We all hate them. The sort of day where the road feels longer, the sky looks greyer, and you wonder if civilisation would collapse if you just went back to bed. I was out doing deliveries, running on fumes and bad temper, when I stumbled into Seomra Tae in Malahide. And thank heavens I did. Inside were three women – absolute angels disguised as café staff – who took one look at me, clearly falling apart at the seams, and decided I needed saving. They handed me a cappuccino. Not just any cappuccino, mind you. This was molten joy in a cup. The first sip was like the clouds parting, a choir singing, and my entire Monday being reset. By the second sip, I was convinced I could drive a thousand miles. By the third, I was fairly certain I was in love. It was smooth, rich, perfectly balanced – the kind of coffee you don’t just drink, you have a relationship with. So here’s the thing: Seomra Tae isn’t just a café. It’s a sanctuary. A place run by saints, disguised as baristas, who have the power to turn the worst day into something bearable with one cup of coffee. If you’re in Malahide and you don’t stop in, you’re making a catastrophic error in judgement.

23/08/2025: We enjoyed a light breakfast and coffee on the front patio this morning. The avacodo toast and Americano were both great. The service was very friendly and fast!
