Top Best Seafood Restaurants in Malahide

"Why: If you’re a fan of Italian seafood, Rosa Madre is the perfect place for you. With a menu centred around fish, the Temple Bar restaurant is also never short on theatre. Dishes such as gratinated Wexford scallops come served on loudly patterned plates, while whole fishes are filleted at the side of your table."

"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."

"Tuck into speciality oysters and succulent crab at Klaw|Courtesy of Klaw. A narrow outfit on a cobbled Temple Bar street, Klaw offers a taste of “crab shack-style dining” in an unexpected location. This tiny restaurant’s laid-back vibe is a breath of fresh, salt-tinged air compared to the hubbub of nearby Dame Street, giving customers the sense of being on island time rather than the centre of a city."

"Klaw is a small seafood bar and restaurant in the centre of Dublin’s Temple Bar area. It is run by people who are passionate about their food and cooking. As they say themselves: “The idea is simple, super fresh seafood in a relaxed atmosphere”."

"The building at The Seafood Bar by Wrights of Howth on Dawson Street has been described by Lucinda O'Sullivan as "one of the most beautiful dining rooms in the city", and she's not wrong. Awkward silence proof?. The room itself is so glorious that you have load of places to look."

"Beautifully situated on the waterfront of picturesque and historic Howth village, the King Sitric is that delightful entity: a famously first-class restaurant with a smart guesthouse attached. Add an on-site wine bar to the mix, plus marvellous maritime views – and the result is an atmospheric, quality place to stay."

"Overlooking the stunning Irish Sea, this upscale restaurant is a 9-minute walk from Howth Lighthouse and a 10-minute walk from the train station. Inside, the restaurant carries a nautical vibe with a classic feel. It's ideal for intimate dining, there are lovely tables by the window or booths if you'd prefer."

"Last but not least, Brookwood deserves a spot on this list for it's incredible meat - don't come here ordering a salad. This New York style restaurant serves up some exceptional dishes. Ideal for a big group of friends who want to indulge in great wine and a big roast at the weekend for a reasonable price."

"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."

"For pizza slices as big as your head at €3 a go, you cannot beat DiFontaine’s Pizzeria, right in the heart of town on Parliament Street. Don’t expect a five-star setting – this is a counter-and- stools kind of place – but the pizzas are excellent. Your cheap-as-chips slice will have a good base, deliciously melting cheese and a robust tomato sauce."

"I absolutely love this place, if not for their delicious vegan pizza, then for their kind and friendly staff. It has that New York pizzeria feel that sometimes I just crave. When I went to try a slice, the owner shared a story about how they came up with their recipe."

"The first name on our list is Kokoro Sushi Bento, conveniently located on Dublin’s Lower Liffey Street off the busy Abbey Street. The popular sushi and bento box spot has a focus on providing quality sushi for takeaway. The excellent range and friendly, helpful service has gone a long way in helping to popularise sushi as a lunch option for office workers hard-pressed for time."

"I'm sure you've eaten in one of the Yamamori branches at some point in your life but let me tell you a secret. The Yamamori Izakaya Sake Bar on George's Street is by far the best of all. They specialise in unfussy Japanese food."

"Everything about Yammers screams 'Instagram me". Dragon murals, enormous buddha statues, Japanese lanterns and more mouth-watering Japas than you can shake a chopstick at."

"Either upstairs or down in the basement you will get some awesome sushi. Huge team of chefs make it upstairs along with great dumplings and other Asian treats."
