Wonder hotel
5 star
18/12/2025: Amazing 5- day stay. Would particularly mention the views out to sea, and across the course, luxury spec everywhere, service befitting a luxury hotel, great food all hours of the day, terrific Irish breakfast - and, again, uniformly good service across the board. Access to the magnificent beach a plus.

Old Street
Malahide
12/12/2025: Every time we dine at this wonderful restaurant, we are always very satisfied. The place is well furnished and well cared for, and during the Christmas season it becomes even more charming. The atmosphere is comfortable, and the service is very attentive and quick in delivering the dishes. The cuisine can be considered high‑level, thanks to the quality of the ingredients, the flavors, and the culinary culture behind it.
06/12/2025: Excellent service and delicious food, a very enjoyable evening.

Seabank Bistro
Malahide
07/12/2025: Incredible food and flawless service
Seabank Bistro is simply fantastic. The food was delicious and perfectly prepared, but the service was also incredible—attentive, friendly, and professional. You can tell the team here really cares about what they do; the standard is just something else. A 5-star experience from start to finish.
06/12/2025: Very nice and cosy place. Staff is very professional and friendly. Food selection is very good and my personal best is sea food starter for two (unfortunately I didn't take a photo but I'll do it nexttime when I come back). Wine selection of red and white is good and easy to find good wine. Atmosphere is friendly and good place to visit with family or partner. Prices are not low but for service and quality of good reasonable.

Gourmet Food Parlour
Swords
14/12/2025: A disappointing second visit. After a fabulous first visit, I booked The Gourmet Food Parlour in Swords again for brunch. Starting with the positives, this is a beautiful space, with lovely decor, ample parking outside and along the street and the food is absolutely gorgeous. However yesterday the service was poor. We gave our order and nobody came back to us until the end when the table was being cleared. We had to call staff to ask for a jug of water, for more drinks, and for the bill at the end. There were quite a few empty tables, so it wasn't as if it was just very busy and that there weren't enough staff. The cocktails are limited, and not tasty so I opted for a failsafe glass of prosecco after the first cocktail. My daughter had the tropical smoothie which tasted like a glass of coconut milk, this was removed from the bill. This was a frustrating visit and I would be hesitant about re-visiting again due to the poor service.
26/11/2025: The food is terrible, Pancakes were reheated in the microwave and weren't homemade, but for the price-they should be. I do Not recommend.

The Greenery
Malahide
11/12/2025: Staff were so friendly and very efficient
29/11/2025: Breakfast here very nice. Staff very attentive and efficient. Experierance ruined by a very ugly scene where a male manager made a female member of staff, who I saw working extremely hard , cry. Should not be happening . Our table had even commented on how efficient she was. Shame on him.

Coolquoy Lodge
Coolquoy common
11/12/2025: Dropped in for lunch here. I had a shepherds pie and my wife had chicken fajitas. Both were really poor. Hardly any chicken in the fajitas and served badly with a couple of cold tortillas on a plate. My shepherds pie was basically a bowl of gravy with meat but little or no mash on top, so it wasn’t really a shepherds pie. Overall really basic and much better choices elsewhere
UPDATE: The owner Jackie asked me to call her and we had a good chat. She had reviewed CCTV and agreed standard of food was poor and apologised which was good at least and seemed like she was taking the comments on board positively. She did say that she would send us a voucher to visit again and see if it’s improved but never heard from them again.
04/12/2025: The mains/starters were decent and good value. The desserts where a disappointment though. Avoid those

Wrights Cafe Bar
Swords
19/12/2024: We had our Christmas party for the 3rd time there! Food was good as always, but the music wasn't as good as previous years, and one of the bartenders had a bit of an attitude at some point! Overall it was a good experience, and we are looking forward to finding out what's coming next year!
P.S.: Ruaidhri was there for us every year for our Christmas parties, making sure that we are having the best experience, so we do hope that we will see him there again in the new wrights adventure!
