Looking for a restaurant Northside for a special Family meal on a Sunday afternoon

European style food i.e. not asian (parents don't like it)
Any recommendations (apart from Oscar taylors)

Cheers

The Grand Hotel in Malahide do a lovely Sunday lunch in their Coast restaurant.

Restaurant 1014 in Clontarf, just beside Kinara, at the wooden bridge.

Lovely food plus all the profits go to a good cause.

Little bit further but The Snail Box just outside Ashbourne is really nice!

What area of the Northside will you be in?

Diceicle · 23-09-2010 9:53pm

Mastersons in Swords is supposed to be lovely, my folks go there a bit. You can cook your steak on a stone!

Cape Greko in Malahide does lovely food and is very reasonable.

Susie_Q · 27-09-2010 5:44pm

My favourite restaurant in Dublin is Chez Sara in Malahide. It's tiny (capacity of 30) and the food is unreal. It's like a proper little foodie heaven. Book ahead if you want a table as they're always packed.

Oh I've walked past that so many times and thought it looked lovely. Might go there some week night, as it's always packed at weekends when I look in. Good to her it being recommended as I don't know anyone that's eaten there.

We regularly frequent Moloughneys in Clontarf and Avoca at Malahide Castle (Avoca is self service). Can anyone recommend any other good restaurants in North Dublin, suitable for bringing young (1yo and 4yo) children, with high quality food, and ideally easy to get parking nearby?

derra_121 · 21-06-2015 2:32pm

Kealys at the back of the airport do very good food. Very reasonable prices for the 3 courses too. Really recommend for a family friendly place to eat and drink.

mambo · 21-06-2015 7:10pm

Kealy's menu looks rather traditional and dated (Turkey & Stuffing, Bacon & Cabbage, Cod & Chips, etc.), whereas we're a bit more into mid-to higher-end food (e.g. Avoca & Moloughneys as mentioned above), so happy to get any suggestions along those lines.

Moloughneys will be taking over the operation of the cafe in Red Stables at St Annes Park, so keep an eye on the menu there...

Didn't know that, thanks.

Da Mimmos on North Strand is a great little restaurant. http://www.damimmo.ie

Not being smart but imo Kealys is awful. Their offering is extremely dated and run of the mill bland.

That's great news, we are regulars in the park, but not particularly enamoured of the current cafe.

The current cafe in the park is absolutely woeful! Food and service was some of the worst I've ever experienced. Never went back and always thought it was such a shame to have something so shoddy in such a lovely location.
McLs will do a great job there and will clean up I reckon.

odyssey06 · 22-06-2015 1:10pm

Not sure when Moloughneys are taking over, just it was listed as an item at recent councillors meeting...
"The grant of a 4-year licence to operate a tearoom in the Red Stables, St. Anne’s Park, Mount Prospect Avenue, Clontarf, Dublin 3 to Olive’s Room Ltd (Moloughney’s), 35 Kincora Road, Clontarf, Dublin 3."

I ate there for only the second time recently and it was just divine. I had the black pudding and egg to start and the pudding was sensational, easily the best I've ever tasted and far better than anything you'd get in a supermarket. Luckily the menu in the Snailbox lists Hugh Maguires butchers in Ashbourne as the supplier so I made a beeline for there a couple of days later. Turns out he has won a rake of awards for his black pudding and for sausages too. I've been gorging on them ever since

The "My Mouth just watered" comment was about Cruzzo in Malahide. Isn't that closed now? Or were you referring to another restaurant?
