The best restaurantsof irish in Fingal

19/05/2026: A good reminder that the rankings of hotels are based on facilities available, not actual quality or service. Both (both!!) pram lifts were out of order making navigating the hotel with a pram very difficult. Staff did not help with luggage or baby pram. There is no dedicated greeter for breakfast so everybody who comes down just waits aimlessly until somebody notices them Every so often you'll notice chipped paint, worn carpet, stained cutlery or other signs of low maintenance. (€260 per night by the way). The shower is a cramped prefabricated plastic installation. Portmarnock hotel is one that survives on the reputation of the golf course, but outside of that legacy there is much better value and better luxury guest experiences you can get for your money in Ireland, and in Dublin.

17/04/2026: First stayed here 8 years ago and have since settled in the area. A quality establishment and a location you can't beat. The beach is my happy place.

18/04/2026: A great place to go for a meal. A warm welcome from the staff as we went in and fantastic service throughout. The food was delicious, both the Chicken Supreme and the Classic Burger were cooked to perfection. Being diabetic the indulgent tasty desserts needed quite a bit of exercise afterwards! We are looking forward to going again when return to Ireland on our next trip.

15/04/2026: Filet of hake and blue cheese burger with sweet potato fries. Delicious and impeccable service.

28/05/2026: Wonderful place to enjoy an evening meal. Our waitress Emily gave us such good service and even asked the chef what kind of sauce we had with our duck. She offered to order us a bottle but we did not have the time. So instead she poured some sauce on a waterbottle and gave to us free of charge. Would not even accept a tip for this wonderful gesture. "This is how we do it up here" she said. The food was very good and you sertanly get your money worth. Would absolutely recommend all of my friends and family to go here.

02/05/2026: Nice location for a decent bite to eat , Keenly priced and staff were great well done to you all, thank you

15/05/2026: One of the nicest pubs I've seen in Ireland. They have a wide variety of beers (we love Beamish). Delicious steaks and burgers, daily specials. Great decor. Friendly service. Large place with plenty of seating. We were there on a Monday afternoon.

15/05/2026: My husband and i ate dinner here last night. Fantastic pub energy. We ordered the steak, guiness beef pie and the wings. The wings were spectacular. Loved everythjng. Parking was a bit lacking for such a tight busy area.

21/04/2026: The best corn beef and soda bread I have ever had!!!! Great place by the harbor!

14/04/2026: As always the food is excellent service fabulous and a great atmosphere

13/05/2026: Staff friendly service spot on food good

05/05/2026: Had chicken and ham meal,delicious,We be back

19/05/2026: Amazing grub, generous portion sizes and very tasty!!

19/05/2026: Cool place to grab an ale, a Guinness, or whatever your poison is. Sat at a table where the table was a hollow barrel, leading down into what looked like a hundreds of years old creepy tunnel. 7 years later stopped on fir lunch and got an absolute MASSIVE hunk of fish for my fish and chips, which was quite good.

10/05/2026: Great service and atmosphere, however the food portions were quite small and a bit overpriced.

10/05/2026: A very friendly restaurant with a warm welcome from start to finish. The linguine with sautéed spinach and garlic was excellent, as were the desserts. We loved our time there. Thank you so much!

23/04/2026: Nice food,kooky menu, but lots on it for everyone.

29/03/2026: Came here with a friend and our kids. Some of the staff was hostile and unfriendly, gave us a table and then said the table has to be back soon if we are just having drinks. After complaining, was told that the new policy is 30 mins for drinks and 1 hour if you're having food. Absolute disgrace, very unwelcoming especially when you're out for a cuppa with your mammy friends and little kids. It'll be one thing if we were finished drinking our coffees but my friend was still drinking hers and the waiter came over and said he needs the table and he can put her coffee into a takeaway cup, considering there was lots of empty tables it was a joke. Even the tables next to us were shocked by the fact we were asked to leave while only coming in, and told us to just stay and not worry about what was said. Unfortunately we were just so disappointed, at that stage just wanted to leave. Awful service! Editing after owner reply: Male waiter knows exactly what incident this was. Please look at cameras on that day, and see that the issue was raised on the way out the front door to the male waiter (think he is the supervisor) in the cafe and he clearly said it is the restaurant policy to have 30 mins for coffees and 1 hour for food, and didn't apologise, just said if we want we can make a complaint to the owner. A bit late when we were already told to leave and also had a small baby with us, very inconvenient and horrible situation to be in. I wouldn't mind if the coffees were actually drank but when the waiter tells you to put it into a takeaway cup and go it's a different story. Only the man next to us said to stay and drink them (he was a customer) we would have left earlier.

28/04/2026: Steak was overcooked asked for medium but arrived well done, a little disappointing

23/04/2026: Fabulous food. Really enjoyed it. Got the warm goats cheese salad and a portion of really nice chips. My friends got the special of the day, the vegetarian option- ravioli with garlic bread. Delicious! Waitress was really friendly, service was prompt.

23/05/2026: Great food and great location. Had the wings and they were fantastic. Service was really smooth and quick without being rushed, a nice change from some places

10/05/2026: Vegan salad was good a little spice or some Tofu for protein would have elevated it. Sticky toffee sauce was delicious but the pudding had a burnt after taste which ruined a great dessert.

16/04/2026: Hello, I'm a Polish truck driver. The food is great! Parking for trucks, showers, and delicious steaks. Very good atmosphere, I highly recommend it. Piotr

14/04/2026: A ten out of ten dinner. Will definitely visit again. 😋👍😊🏆

14/05/2026: We came here for my birthday after admiring Malahide Castle and the beach. I couldn't have wished for a more delicious birthday cake. Highly recommended.

29/04/2026: Nice omelette. Service a little slow, but it is a busy spot. If you are on your own you might be left standing while the staff think of somewhere to seat you which does not take up an attractive spot for groups of two or more.

05/04/2026: Great spot. Friendly staff and kid friendly. Always there for the events also

22/03/2026: Gorgeous food, seem to have a new menu now and it was amazing. Got the chicken pot pie and the roast dinner, sticky toffee pudding and bread and butter pudding and it was all amazing. Probably the nicest bread and butter pudding I've had. Staff are lovely too.

10/05/2026: I went to the bistrò with my family. We have been served by different lovely waitresses and one waiter too that took our order. I ordered the lobster and asked for more information, he explained to me that he would show me the lobster before cooking it, so i said i didn’t want to see it. So he laughed and explained to me all the steps on how they would cook the lobster even if i didn’t ask and clearly wasn’t enjoying it. Then he proceeded to show me the lobster even if I asked not to, it sounded like he was mocking me because I didn’t want to know. Overall the food was nice but really pricey, generous portions in general. The lobster was okay, the linguine weren’t good at all. I wouldn’t come back for the experience though.

26/04/2026: Absolutely amazing food, I had a halibut dish it was out of this world. The lobster was exquisite 👌🏽
