Gourmet Food Parlour
Swords
14/02/2025: If you are going for a coffee in a comfortable environment it's fine but
1. for the price i'd expect far better and more than we got.
2. Squeezed orange was mainly ice cubes
3. The extra hot coffee requested was 'warm'
4. The pancakes were not hot (when sent back they were 'refilled' hence the 3 stars for service)
5. The avocado was from a bottle
6. The poached eggs were hard.
I could go on but you get the drift
FAR better options in the village centre.
02/02/2025: Great spot to grab a bite to eat on the way to the airport. Staff were friendly and efficient. Food is fresh and tasty.

The Greenery
Malahide
14/02/2025: Myself and my wife went in for breakfast. The place was about 75% full. We were showed to a table but then the waitress forgot about us so we called her attention and ordered the potato hash and avocado plus tea and coffee. There were two waitresses on duty, the other waitress was bringing water to her tables and getting their drinks immediately. After 25 minutes with no drinks we caught our waitresses attention to ask for the drinks. No apology for the delay but a smart smile. She gave the order to the barista and we could see the barista make the drinks and leave on the counter. We then watched our waitress do everything but deliver our drinks, she cleaned tables, chatted with her colleague and stood at the barista but had no inclination to get our drinks. We had no choice but to go up to the counter and ask the barista if they were our drinks. Our waitress gave us that lovely smarmy smile and said I’ll check, knowing full well they were ours. When she delivered them I told her that her service was terrible we waited 25 minutes before having to remind her and then another 5 minutes once they were poured. Her response was she was busy, no apology. Ten minutes later the two tables either side of us were served their meals, the first table arrived 25 minutes after us, the second 30 minutes after us. At this stage we called over the other waitress and complimented her on how efficient she was but we were still waiting. She tried to defend her colleague saying she wasn’t working as long as herself. In the end we had no choice but to leave.
We live in Malahide so we know lots of amazing alternatives, we headed off to Deja Vu and had a gorgeous breakfast with great service.
It’s a pity the Greenery allow shocking service to ruin their good food from the kitchen but take it from a local and avoid!

Balrothery Inn
Balrothery
28/01/2025: The establishment leaves a mixed impression. Among the positives are delicious dishes, generous portions, and tender, well-prepared meat. The staff is attentive, which adds to the overall positive experience. However, there are also some drawbacks: the food order took a long time to be taken, despite the absence of other guests, creating the impression that customers were forgotten. The atmosphere could use some improvement as well—there is a noticeable smell of food in the dining area, old furniture, and a general lack of coziness, although the fireplace area stands out with its pleasant ambiance. It is also worth mentioning that the sauce (tomato with grilled paprika) served with the dish of the day, sea bass, was not a good match, as white sauce pairs better with fish. Overall, the establishment has its strengths, but there are areas that need improvement.
28/01/2025: Really enjoyed a meal here recently
