    Delusione al sole d'Irlanda

    In a simple and typical environment of the weekend touristic village of Ireland, we are welcomed by a waiter who tells us that we will have to leave the table after one hour at the most. Perhaps this is why, for a price of more...More

    We may have accommodated you with a table which was booked by a reservation in one hour and that was not long enough time for you. I;m sorry you didn't enjoy your visit.

    Great food and service

    After 12km walk around the coast and getting totally drenched, we got to warm up with their award winning chowder and fish & chips. The fish & chips was not greasy and the fried shrimp in the chowder was super delish. I should have ordered...More

    I’ve tried breakfast and lunch, it’s very good

    Here I had breakfast and lunch in 2 different days and it’s very good place. The spot is amazing and if you are lucky enough to sit outside in a sunny day, you will enjoy the view and the port. Good fish and chips with...More

    One of my favorite restaurants in Howth with great service and a lovely atmosphere. However I found the new menu rather uninspiring and lacking in imagination. The service was great as usual and the food delicious.

    Somewhat disappointing

    We decided to have an all-tapas meal so we could try as many things as possible, and we ended up trying five different dishes. We started with the deluxe seafood chowder. It was good, but not fabulous. We found the tiger prawn pil pil bland,...More
