Best Fine Dining in Malahide

"Most people associate Dublin writers with drinking rather than eating, but the Michelin-starred Chapter One in the basement of the Dublin Writers Museum might change that. It’s a special-occasion restaurant where chef Ross Lewis uses the best ingredients from Ireland’s fields, farms, and waves. The restaurant is a favorite with posh diners and lawyers from the nearby Four Courts, so tables on Friday and Saturday nights are like hen’s teeth."

"If you want to go for one super-luxe, blowout meal when you’re in town, then Chapter One is the place to head. Yes, it’s pricey, and you’ll need to book in advance, but this is the pinnacle of fine dining in Dublin. As is the case with most of the city’s fanciest restaurants, the lunch and pre-theatre menus offer tremendous value."

"Ross Lewis’ basement restaurant has retained a Michelin star since 2007 with its elegant, modern European dishes that celebrate the terroir of Ireland paired with impeccable service."

"Why: If you’re a fan of Italian seafood, Rosa Madre is the perfect place for you. With a menu centred around fish, the Temple Bar restaurant is also never short on theatre. Dishes such as gratinated Wexford scallops come served on loudly patterned plates, while whole fishes are filleted at the side of your table."

"Some of the tastiest seafood pasta can be found in Rosa Madre. As soon as you step in the door you're met by a huge cabinet which is iced and packed full of fish and shellfish. It's a stunning venue, tucked away down the cobblestone streets of Temple Bar but inside it's got a lot of character."

"Style / Ambiance: Arguably the most respected restaurant in Ireland, the legendary Patrick Guilbaud’s opened in 1981 and since then has won every major food award going. Currently in the hands of chef Guillaume Lebrun, the restaurant has held two Michelin stars for a number of years, and has long set the standard to which others aspire. It remains the only two-star restaurant in the country and with a wine list every bit as impressive as the food, you’ll be talking about this place for some time after."

"Patrick Guilbaud's certainly has the credentials of a top Irish restaurant, sporting our country's only two star Michelin kitchen. If opulence and fine dining to the extreme is your bag then make sure to sample this mix of contemporary Irish, French and classical roots. Guilbaud's has been at the centre of Irish fine dining for thirty years and is somewhat of an institution."

"From the name of the top three - Guilbaud, Lebrun and Robin - that made this place happen in the 80s, right down to picture perfect …"

"On the Michelin guide for 2020, Pearl Brasserie is an award-winning find dining restaurant that specialises in French food (naturally). The basement setting is surprisingly light, while the interiors are dressed in a modern yet formal style. Classic French ingredients are employed to fill the tempting menu which showcases produce like quail, crab and foie gras."

"Liath, the Irish word for grey, is a fine dining restaurant created by chef Damien Grey. Grey was the co-owner of the one-star Michelin Star Restaurant, 'Heron And Grey' which closed at the start of the year. Right now, getting a booking here is like gold dust."

"This 12 room 16th century castle sits on nearly 600 acres and has its own 18 hole golf course. Visit the place where soccer super star David Beckham and Posh Spice tied the knot."

"Located just off O'Connell Street in the heart of Dublin City, Fibber Magee's is a popular live music venue, with live bands playing every Friday, Saturday and Sunday."

"Everleigh Gardens is located at 33 Harcourt Street and a night in the club promises to be a unique experience.

"You’d be forgiven for walking past Platform 61 and not knowing what you’d missed. This underground eatery, tucked away on South William Street, is inspired by New York’s Track 61, a secret underground passageway for VIPs that was built in 1913 and is thought to still be in use. Platform 61 opened in 2015, but is a little-known Dublin gem."
