Lunch in Malahide (Covid Times)

Inquitus

What food options are available for lunch in Malahide at the moment, I mean just grab and go and sit on the green kind of thing. Thinking of taking the family over for some lunch to avail of the nice weather but don't want to be limited to Starbucksesque fair.

Is Howth a better option, is the food market there fully open?

Muchos Gracias,

Inq.

Scotch Bonnet, Beshoffs, Griolladh all doing take out.

Find somewhere nice in the Marina to sit and eat it.

Seomra tae and Póg would fit the bill. Mario's also do a take out menu. Almost all of the restaurants are doing takeaway too but usually in the evenings. Siam Thai have a van at the green selling mostly drinks but also things like Pad Thai.

Traffic is mental here these weekends though as it seems that all of Dublin is wanting to come up

Loads of places doing lunch. If you're down by the beach, both Seabank and the Greenery are doing lunch.

Taste of med in the town is decent too and has a solid online order system.

Donnybrook fair has a deli as well, if you just want a sandwich or salad.

I went to the Old Street restaurant and had some stuff fresh off the grill, along with a couple of Peronis sat on the Green, very pleasant, thanks all!

Nightmare for the locals though. Traffic at the weekends is INSANE.

Traffic has indeed gone mental in NCD, its getting close to pre-covid levels at times.

Who would have thought building all over the place with no thought for roads or infrastructure would have consequences

Considering the minister of housing is the local td, he needs to pull the finger out

Its only going to get worse.

WFH saved them in a way, as the trains would have been a complete mess.

Probably another 5k houses on the way in Donabate in the next few years, and look people have to life somewhere. It would be nice if the council and Government though of people both currently and to be living their and their quality o lie when making decisions.

Its ok, we will get the North Country Greenway in 2050

Anyway apologies for the mini rant, some lovely spots for lunch in NCD

Swords is a mess, Malahide is a mess, getting in and out of coastal NCD (Skerries, Donabate, Rush, Lusk) is a mess. And things are only going to get worse with the housebuilding going on, it needs a serious infrastructure rethink roadwise, or even better actually building Metro North!

Was only laughing to my wife that metro north was on tje billboards when we lived in Santry in 2013, further away than ever.
