Top Best Seafood Restaurants in Dún Laoghaire

"Located in the heart of Temple Bar, Rosa Madre is both one of the most central and one of the best Italian restaurants in Dublin. The focus of the place is seafood, so expect everything from risotto with prawns to Octopus salad and even a full lobster. The owner, Luca De Marzio, is originally from Rome and has legendary status in the foodie scene."

"Some of the tastiest seafood pasta can be found in Rosa Madre. As soon as you step in the door you're met by a huge cabinet which is iced and packed full of fish and shellfish. It's a stunning venue, tucked away down the cobblestone streets of Temple Bar but inside it's got a lot of character."

"Right in the middle of the lively Temple Bar area, Klaw by Niall Sabongi is simple and rustic and often considered one of the best seafood restaurants in Dublin City Centre. It’s better described as a seafood shack with a small dining area, view of the open kitchen and a menu simply scrawled on the wall in chalk. Locals come here for the oysters or lobster roll, with some dishes changing daily depending on the market."

"Let’s face it: The neighborhood of Temple Bar is far from salubrious and hardly a showcase for what’s great about Dublin. So it’s a little surprising to find one of the city’s best seafood restaurants right in the middle of it all. If you’re after unadulterated Irish seafood, this is the place for you."

"Known as one of the best places in the city to get your fish fix. Their idea is simple, super fresh seafood in a relaxed atmosphere where people can just "get their Fish on"."

"Cliff Townhouse is a charming restaurant with rooms offering comfortable accommodation and an unsurpassed location in the heart of Dublin, looking across St Stephen’s Green.

"Those interested in fine dining and a cosy lounge will love the lure of Cliff Townhouse. Renowned chef Sean Smith cooks up some truly sumptuous chicken and fish dishes, with fresh Irish vegetables served on the side. The range of cosy and colourful rooms include the option of park views, or windows overlooking the streets of Dublin."

"The Chop House opened its doors in December 2009, offering a new food concept within a Dublin 4 pub!. Our focus is to produce high quality dishes using the best of Irish produce. As the name suggests our main ingredient is Irish Meat, the winner of which is our beef."

"The long line of buggies parked at the entrance of Yamamori gives away the family friendliness of the place and indeed, kids here are welcome. The place offers decent Asian food and simple dishes such as noodles and stir fries are usually appreciated by kids as well, even if there is no kids menu as such available. Address: 73 South Great George’s Street, Dublin"

"Finally, we come to a true hidden gem among Dublin’s sushi joints – Tokyo Kitchen in Dublin’s Smithfield neighbourhood. Operating from a counter adjacent to the Kish Fish fishmongers, Tokyo Kitchen serves up truly the freshest sushi that can be had, to be simply eaten on the spot outside or for takeaway. The daily specials on offer reflect the new produce available from the fishmongers as it comes in from the sea each day."

"Tokyo Kitchen is one of Dublin's best-kept secrets, serving up the freshest sushi in the city from their little spot on Bow Lane. Brought to you by the people behind Kish Fish, Tokyo Kitchen offers generous food at reasonable prices, so it's well worth a visit. View this post on Instagram"
