Nice experience in Howth area. Octopussy was crowded and we waited for a table. but it was worth it! Excellent dishes based on fresh fish. part of the kitchen is open. small space inside. if you can stay outside. it was a good choice. pay...attention to the "famous" chains that sell Fish&Chips, avoid that!More
Arrived and thought this looks small and it was but by god it was delicious , the staff where so friendly whilst being so busy. It's our honeymoon and they cracked open a bottle of bubbly no charge , just wish I'd found this place...earlier the whole menu looks amazing , go there !!More
Wow wow wow! On our honeymoon and discovered THE best seafood place! We had the monkfish and the prawns and they were totally amazing! Lovely staff gave us a Prosecco when they found out we were on honeymoon! Delightful. Would have eaten here every day...had we discovered it earlier! Absolutely 10/10!!!!!More
Went to Howth..and the weather was lovely.. drizzle and wind.😉 So after walking about for a bit, we wanted something warming and this place was reccomended to us by a local. The place is small, some would say cramped, but it did give of a...charm. The food on offer was waried and the chowder and potatoes we ordered in the end arived realy quickly. They were realy tasty, and the staff was realy frienfly and helpfull. All in all..if you are there(in Howth) you can go there..you wont regret it👍More
Listen, we have been trying to write this review for five minutes to describe the experience we just had. No words describe the amazing service and quality of food we just received. But I will try to articulate. Carol and her cohort took care of...everything we needed. Even before we knew we needed it. The lemon and garlic scallops- TDF!!!!! (To die for). I am going to baptize my first born in the sherry wine sauce that came with the prawn and monkfish. Don’t even get me started about the sweet dressing that came on the Greek Salad. The star of the show was the shrimp scampi… it was so light and delicious I don’t know how they do it?? We can not recommend this place highly enough!More
Although each portion looked small, it was incredibly flavorful when paired with brown bread. We arrived at 12 o'clock when they opened because the place is quite small with not many tables inside.
Great evening meal made special because of the fabulous food served by two lovely ladies, Linda and Carol, who were excellent! Best Mussels we’ve ever had! The chowder was so good, I wanted to order another bowl for dessert!
This was a fantastic experience. We strolled up and down the marina in search of a good lunch. We were a group of 13 people so it was not easy to find. We ended up here and the food and staff was just fantastic. I...highly recommend this place to anyone who knows and enjoys good seafiod!More
We visited for lunch - it was pretty busy but worth the wait! Started off with some lovely fresh oysters - delicious. We then had a variety of seafood tapas - scallops, squid, prawns and some potato's bravas for good measure! The squid and chorizo...was my favourite. The prawns were a little over done but were OK. They were great with my egg allergy too Note that they only serve wine, no beer. This was fine for us but just to note if you're a beer drinker.More
This spot is great for fresh, well prepared seafood! Their food is marked small and large which was great because I chose a few small items so I could sample more. It all was delicious!
its worth the wait, I promise! Make sure you give yourself plenty of time as the line is very very long and they don't take reservations. My mom and I sat at the window booth and it was a perfect spot to eat. excellent oysters,...chowder and seafood. Highly recommend when visiting howth!More
Read the reviews and was lucky to get a table. Fresh tasty food surpassed our expectations. Not easy to please our family of four, each with different food preferences. The paella is highly recommended. Excellent service.
Just delicious! For seafood lovers, this a MECA! All super fresh, great atmosphere in front of the bay and fisherman village. The mussels plate is simply the most tasteful I’ve ever experimented. They should take care more about cleaning, as this could be a plus...plus to the already exceptional place! As the place is super small, many people tried to get a table, but had no chance!More
Lovely meal tonight in Octopussy. Service was excellent with very friendly staff in this very busy small but comfortable restaurant along the pier in Howth. We definitely over ordered and the starter/small plate dishes of scampi and calamari were very generous portions. We also had...spicey prawn Piri piri which was also a very generous portion. My partners fish and chips was so fresh it literally melted in the mouth. Nice wine selection by the glass. I tried a lovely Albarino followed by a NZ Sauvignon blanc My partner Had a lovely glass of rose. Our bill was served with very generous portions of limoncello. Lots of tourists dining here also from Europe and US and people are very willing to queue for approx 30 mins per table so it’s reputation obviously proceeded it as there were plenty of restaurants nearby with no queue! Overall an excellent experience. Very reasonably priced for top quality food and serviceMore
