Old Street
Malahide
05/09/2026: We come back to Old Street Restaurant every year when we’re in Dublin, and it has become one of those places we genuinely look forward to. We’ve been here several times now, including with family and friends, and the quality has been consistently exceptional.
What really stands out is the food. The quality of the ingredients, the presentation, and especially the combination of flavors are outstanding. Everything feels thoughtful and beautifully balanced, with those little unexpected touches that turn a very good dish into something memorable.
Today was no exception. From the main courses and sides to the dessert, everything was absolutely delicious.
For us, Old Street is easily one of our top three restaurants in Ireland. And the fact that we keep coming back year after year probably says it best.
Highly recommended. We’ll absolutely be back! ❤️
30/08/2026: This was our absolute favorite meal during our visit to Ireland. Definitely get the mussels, you won't be disappointed. Excellent service, atmosphere, and food. I would fly across the Atlantic again to eat here.

Harbour Bar
Rush
06/10/2026: We visited the Harbour Bar, in Rush for dinner and we were not disappointed. The service was excellent and the food was exceptional. All four of us started with the Seafood Chowder. The chowder is the best I have ever had. Seafood in the chowder is so plentiful that it nearly constitutes a meal in and of itself. Delicious.
Two of us followed up the chowder with Corned Beef in Parsley sauce, Csbbage and Mash. Wow. It was very good but also very filling after the Chowder. The others had Mussels, they were also very tasty and Spicy Squid and Onion Rings.
We sat in the lounge area and loved the atmosphere.
I would highly recommend the Harbour Bar.
21/09/2026: The fish and chips is the friendliest you'll ever find (and there is mushy hidden beneath).
And the staff?
To die for

Gourmet Food Parlour
Swords
19/09/2026: Had a lovely relaxed lunch here, food was beautiful. Service was brilliant, no rushing you off the table or to place your order.
Great place to have a catch up as although was busy you don't feel you are involved in other people's conversation.
Will definitely be back

The Golf Links Inn
Portmarnock
24/08/2026: An absolutely lovely place to stay! The room was even better than I imagined with generous proportions and the most glorious view with a window seat to sit and watch the sunset over Ireland's Eye with a book. The bath was huge and the bed was lovely.
The team were very friendly and we always felt safe and welcome as a visibly queer couple. The local area is a delight and the hotel is incredibly well connected whilst feeling quiet and right next to the sea.
The breakfast was lovely too, and the seafood chowder at the Jameson pub was the best thing I ate across my whole trip.
The only small feedback I'd give would be to please explore other options of vegan / vegetarian sausage for breakfast. I so appreciated the option but they were really not very nice.
Thanks so much for an amazing stay!
28/06/2026: Sophie and Ruth and Millie and Zara were the most professional and fabulous servers on our weeklong trip to Portmarnock. We thoroughly enjoyed interacting with each of them on multiple days of our golf vacation. We wish them well and are so pleased that we had the opportunity to meet them. They are all genuinely lovely girls who are serving the best interests of this great resort!! Thank you very much!!!

Balrothery Inn
Balrothery
04/10/2026: Lovely place to go for food and a nice pint 👍
Great staff Too
11/09/2026: If you want to be disrespected by a rude staff member then go here. So unfriendly and impolite. They say they are dog friendly but they are absolutely not as numerous times I have gone here and a staff member spoke to me in an aggressive unacceptable manner about moving my dog somewhere else. I did not go back for 3 months because of her rudeness then I made a mistake to go back only because my friend wanted to go and that same staff member behaved exactly the same way unbelievably rude and aggressive. Then I complained to the owner and he had the audacity to defend her bad behaviour and not apologise. Such a mistake to darken the door. Never again!

Bracken Grill
Balbriggan
03/09/2026: Fantastic bar in the Hotel, all the staff are ultra friendly, great place to go for a pint and a bite.
07/05/2026: It is a nice restaurant. The temperature is good, it's always warm. The food is fresh and the portions are nicely sized. It would be nice if one of the waitresses smiled more. Also, when eating burgers, it would be nice if they brought gloves. It would be cleaner and easier to consume.
