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...
1. 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.
2. Beshoffs of Howth
This is as good as seafood gets.
Beshoff's sister store is next door, a fresh seafood market selling the most unbelievable catch of the days from the Irish Sea, which sits about a hundred yards from there.
It's tasty, affordable and a meal you won't forget any time soon.
3. The Bloody Stream
Located right next to the DART station, The Bloody Stream is a beautifully quaint little pub serving up some delicious food and deadly drinks deals.
Their proximity to the sea ensures the freshest seafood, and their general atmosphere means you'll have a cracking evening; hail, rain or shine.
4. O'Connell's
O’Connell's bar is a real gem, taking advantage of the fantastic views over the harbour out to Ireland’s Eye and Lambay Island, which means you're guaranteed an awe-inspiring backdrop with your round of decadent drinks.
Not too shabby, eh?
5. Compulsion
A trendy, deadly coffee shop with all the trimmings.

A favourite with locals and tourists alike, Howth Market Deli offer Irish artisan products and organic produce tasty sandwiches, home-made soup, coffee to go and loads of decadent treats. During the summer months they also do have picnic baskets (!!) to enjoy on the beach.
Get the carrot cake. Just trust us, get the carrot cake.
