Best Family Restaurants in Skerries

"A multiple award-winning restaurant just off Stephen’s Green, Etto recently won ‘Restaurant of the Year’ at the 2018 Irish Restaurant Awards. Perhaps even more impressively, it was also awarded a Michelin Guide Bib Gourmand for four consecutive years from 2014 to 2017. Simplistic in it’s decor with white walls, rustic wooden furniture, Etto is laid-back and relaxed and the intimate space makes this restaurant so cosy and romantic."

"A real little gem right in the heart of the city – and with only 38 covers in its long, narrow dining room, 'little' really is the operative word. Come here for a wonderful, buzzing vibe, and for honest and delicious Italian food that's cooked simply, using excellent ingredients. The menu is short – try the venison tartare, and the sherry-braised pig cheek – and there's a super, European-dominated wine list on hand, too."

"It’s small and noisy (especially as the night lengthens and more wine is poured), but Etto has been crammed with happy eaters since it opened. The energetic Italian menu includes fiendish flavors like pig trotter carpaccio and mussels with nduja, fennel, and samphire. The wine-soaked prunes with a dollop of putty-thick mascarpone are a city favorite."

"Really friendly tolerant staff, well used to kids wandering around. They have a great atmosphere, and plenty of choice for everybody with a massive menu – better again, with outlets in Dun Laoghaire, Tallaght, Dundrum and Blanchardstown and a few dotted around the city centre, they're a solid option wherever you happen to be."
