2. The Yacht, 73 Clontarf Road

The Yacht is an award-winning pub, famed for its beautifully decorated rooms, extensive menu and unbelievable seafood.

3. Pigeon House, 11b Vernon Avenue

This is where you want to go for a properly nice meal. Located on Vernon Avenue, you’re high up enough to take in the the seascape while perched in this gorgeous establishment.

Their menu is obviously top notch and all – but it’s their dessert menu that really takes the biscuit. Or the macaroon for that matter.

Two doors down from Pigeon House is Moloughney’s, a dining experience that you won’t soon forget. Friendly staff, killer menu and some really deadly seafood. 

Their best seller is their pan-fried Atlantic hake, carrot and star anise with mushroom. Get involved, it’s to die for.

5. Harry Byrne’s, Howth Road

Harry Byrne‘s is a warm, cosy pub with bucket loads of ambience and a great place to nestle in and have a chat. They also show all the sports you could ever dream of, meaning this is a great spot for match days.

6. Fuel, 10 Vernon Road

Looking for something a little lighter to eat? Fuel (formerly Honeysuckle) has you sorted. 

Juices, salads, smoothies and everything you need to make your body feel great.
