The best restaurantsof irish in Fingal

24/04/2025: Faultless return visit. Visited with a large group. Staff were friendly and accomodating. Menu choices were good. Meals were all excellent. Great portions and reasonably priced. Brilliant all round

13/04/2025: Food was okay, and the atmosphere was good.

04/05/2025: Booked for a Friday evening. Sat outside for a drink. Let the waitress know we had a table booked. Moved inside and noticed McGoverns had emailed me saying we were 15 mins late, which we weren't. We both had a steak, mine the fillet, and my husband, the rib eye. Honestly, this meal was 10 out of 10. I had garlic roast potatoes with mine, and everything I got was so tasty. I had booked other restaurants in Malahide and being honest could have happily dined here for the weekend. Service outside wasn't so great, but inside was a different story, excellent service. We have dined here before, not sure why it's not the number one place to dine in Malahide, in my view the food is delicious. Definitely be back!

03/05/2025: Another fantastic visit to this restaurant service with a smile Brilliant service friendly staff and delicious food we will return again for sure

27/04/2025: My wife and I took my parents to Balrothery Inn today for dinner , the staff were excellent and when they saw my Father was elderly and slow on his feet they accommodated us with a suitable table for easy access, the staff were lovely and polite and attentive considering they were flat out busy , the food was excellent we all cleared our plates , I was watching the staff being so attentive with other senior citizens and people in wheel chairs credit to them all , a special thank you to Aaron Gough and the ladies that attended to us , I will definitely be back soon , thank you all so much

15/04/2025: We stopped for lunch on the way to the airport from Juluanstown and we were welcomed like old friends by a lovely young lady who could not have been more helpful. We opted for sandwiches, which were delicious. The inn has an old world charm, which added to the experience, A very pleasant lunch and one of the best pints of Guinness we had all trip.

19/04/2025: Beautifully presented food in a charming setting. We had the fish and rib-eye steaks—both cooked to perfection and paired with a lovely Sauvignon Blanc. Our waiter was incredibly friendly and provided excellent service throughout. We’ll definitely be back—this was easily one of the best meals we’ve had in Malahide.

16/04/2025: First time visiting this little gem of a restaurant. From the moment we entered, we felt valued - pleasant friendly welcome. Very nice atmosphere with good lighting and tables well spaced. Only slight complaint would be that the chairs were a little uncomfortable. Food was superb - we opted for pâté and burrata for starters and we both had the lamb for mains. Meat was exquisite, just was perfect and the accompanying potato and vegetables were perfectly cooked. Pinot noir was very good, if a little pricey. Waiting staff came around after we had finished the main course with a tray of very tiny desserts, in a way that could be misconstrued as a complimentary offering but in fact they were not. Although they tasted nice, they were just a bit too small in portion size for the price and left us feeling somewhat underwhelmed. Staff were incredibly attentive throughout the evening, without being intrusive. Definitely worth a return visit!

03/05/2025: If I could give the food less than 1 star I would. The worst food I’ve ever been served in my life. I got the roast of the day with ham, the ham was almost grey and was super dry and tasteless. The veg and roast potatoes were clearly frozen too. The stuffing also tasteless and even by looking at it you could see there wasn’t any herbs in it. Nothing at all on my plate was made fresh. My partner got the Tex mex burger and onion rings. Onion rings tasted of pure oil, and the burger that was meant to have chili beef mince on it wasn’t chili beef at all, it was tomato bolognese. Chips were fine but you can’t go too wrong with them. Bill came to 50 euro with two drinks, definitely not worth it, would never eat here again. Service and staff were lovely though.

22/04/2025: Great pint of guiness and the food is lovely,chicken burger is gorgeous, the staff are excellent and very friendly. Tv's are all around so you can see the sport from anywhere ,Depending on the time, it could be quiet enough ,but the pints make up for that 👍 another meal today , and once again, the food was lovely. The guiness is also great , can't complain 👌

19/04/2025: Our favorite pub in Malahide to have a pint ! This beautiful place is amazingly huge : lots of tables and seats spanned across multiple rooms (and a rooftop) where all people of this town could fit in. Love their Lamps lager

18/04/2025: What atmosphere is all about and fast service

02/04/2025: The food is very good and tasteful at the price

15/03/2025: What a nice place to come by truck. Unfortunately, you are not allowed to leave the cooler there unless you turn it off from 9 p.m. until the morning. Tasty dishes and very friendly service. Very nice atmosphere! If I can, I will definitely come back.

18/04/2025: Large and beautiful room. The view can be nice if you're on the right side and on the right floor. But there's no cold water from the faucet, no handheld showerhead, and it's very difficult to adjust the temperature.

14/04/2025: Really good experience! Thank’s to Brian and Pierre that were so nice with us!

19/04/2025: Every week on Friday and Saturday night

17/04/2025: Lovely pub with three separate rooms. Very tasty pub grub served and a carvery on Sundays. Very reasonable prices. Friendly helpful service. Plenty tvs with the sport on. Beer garden that gets the sun in the evenings also. Great spot

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!

14/12/2024: Worst place to spend time in Swords

01/04/2025: The best meniu that I tried. Friendly atmosphere. I can talk about cleanliness separately(which is a bit rare to see in Ireland, no bad smells or anything dirty), clean cutlery. Everything that I ordered was very tasty and well combined. The waiters know their job well and can advise you on what to choose. So they are part of very good team. I will definitely come back here. Highly recommend!

31/03/2025: Wonderful classic French bistro. Quaint and located across the street from the ocean. Seafood dishes range from traditional (fish and chips) to modern fusion (red Thai monk fish). All were equally good. The owners came out to greet each table and were extremely warm and engaging. Will return for sure when we travel back to Dublin in the future!
