Off to Howth for the day? Lucky sod.
A real beauty of a spot, boasting..well, pretty much everything. And the best bit? Loads and loads of deadly food.
Its proximity to the Irish Sea means that fresh fish is always the order of the day, but Howth boasts so much more than that.
Just have a gander and see for yourself...
Aqua
It's not often you get to check out the sights of the Portmarnock and Malahide coastline whilst you dine, but in
Aqua it's the norm. Their menu is insanely good, boasting something for absolutely everyone.
Their fish options are better than you'd imagine. Yep, really. That good.

Octopussy
Let's be honest, you'd come here for the name alone. A pier-side gem serving up an array of seafood tapas - mussels, chowder, chilli and chorizo squid, or a hearty selection of seafood curries if that's what your tastebuds desire. You'll be spoilt for choice!

Leo Burdocks
Leo Burdocks chippers are famous among Dubliners, and it's easy to see why. Some of the tastiest fish you could hope to find accompanied by freshly cut chips and their famous crispy bits, a stop off here is vital if you're planning on spending the day in Howth.

Located right next to the DART station,
