Top Best Seafood Restaurants in Dundrum

"It offers a grown-up dining experience, traditional in the best sense of the word, with white tablecloths, low lighting and endless bottles of (mostly Italian) wine lining the walls. Fresh fish is delivered daily, displayed to patrons at a wet counter by the restaurant entrance and transformed by the chef into a selection of authentic Italian dishes. These include capesante gratinate (oven-baked scallops covered in breadcrumbs and parmesan) and the house speciality: fresh calamari and gamberi with spicy spinach."

"Think white linen clothed tables lining a cobblestone street; Rosa Madre has made outdoor dining classy!. This seafood restaurant has only the finest quality fish caught by local fishermen. In the heart of Temple Bar, this restaurant makes for a lovely romantic location for a meal with that special someone."

"Tuck into speciality oysters and succulent crab at Klaw|Courtesy of Klaw. A narrow outfit on a cobbled Temple Bar street, Klaw offers a taste of “crab shack-style dining” in an unexpected location. This tiny restaurant’s laid-back vibe is a breath of fresh, salt-tinged air compared to the hubbub of nearby Dame Street, giving customers the sense of being on island time rather than the centre of a city."

"Known as one of the best places in the city to get your fish fix. Their idea is simple, super fresh seafood in a relaxed atmosphere where people can just "get their Fish on"."

"Cliff Townhouse is a charming restaurant with rooms offering comfortable accommodation and an unsurpassed location in the heart of Dublin, looking across St Stephen’s Green. It’s set within a well-maintained Georgian townhouse, with vast sash windows, stucco ceilings and fine dimensions. Each of the nine rooms is beautifully appointed with antique furnishings and luxurious finishes; the views of the Green are superlative."

"Beautifully presented small plates make up The Seafood Café’s menu|Courtesy of Miguel Ruiz. Seafood-obsessed chef Niall Sabongi – who also owns Klaw – has three popular Dublin restaurants, but his most recent enterprise has earned him acclaim from high quarters: Catherine Cleary, the Irish Times food critic, called it “world class”. What has impressed pundits and punters is the niche it has carved out for Irish seafood that is impeccably prepared but doesn’t stand on ceremony."

"Just a block away from tacky, tourist-ridden bars on Temple Street is a great spot for seafood. KLAW is owned by Niall Sabongi, who is also responsible for. I giggled at its tagline of “Bringin’ Crabshack Style Dining To The City” because it’s a bit more sleek than that and actually a great spot to stop for a glass of wine and local oysters."

"Here's a spot in Sandycove that will absolutely blow you away. This hidden gem has just about every type of fish you could ask for, with chips that make for a perfect combo, regardless of what you order. Do not pay this place a visit without ordering fish and chips – fried or grilled, hake or monkfish – whatever suits you, do it."

"Located just outside the main Temple Bar area, Fish Shack Café offers fresh seafood cooked the way it should be!. Don’t be fooled by its small size; the place has a cosy atmosphere and is perfect for a sit down lunch. Amongst others, we recommend their fried calamari, grilled scallop and fish and chips."

"A favourite with northsiders, Shouk’s excellent Middle Eastern food and friendly vibe have garnered lots of fans. Mezze platters (whole roasted cauliflower covered with tahini and tomato salsa is a must-order), shawarma and a variety of hummus dishes are menu highlights. Shouk now has a new festival stretch tent covering the courtyard, which can sit 60 people comfortably with social distancing."

"Shouk is one of the coolest veggie restaurants in Dublin right now. Inside you'll find an array of benches in cosy nooks, a dedicated pickle counter and a sunny outdoor seating area. The menu boasts a plethora of flavours and dishes inspired by the Middle East."

"With some of the tastiest falafel and the cutest outdoor seating area ever, this place will be your new fave spot."

"Nunki Tea House opened at the start of the summer and it's the most darling spot for a cup of tea or bubble tea. Along with tea in precious Japanese porcelain cups, they serve delicious sweet treats including a classic bubble tea waterfall cake. It's a really cute spot, deffo worth a visit."

"If you find yourself hungry or thirsty in Dún Laoghaire, Nunki Teahouse is always a good call. For some serious refreshment, they have a range of cold fruit teas including pineapple, orange, watermelon, and a totally tropical mango cloud yogurt tea."

"A brasserie with a French-inspired interior of wicker cafe chairs, a zinc bar, and white ceramic tiles, Balfes is a popular favorite with locals. Its eclectic menu, served all day, combines some Irish classics along with other renowned specialties such as haddock fish and chips, 28-day dry-aged steak, dry-aged burger on a brioche roll, and for vegetarians, hearty chargrilled winter squash with piri piri, charred leeks, and feta cheese. On the weekends, Balfes offers a brunch menu with Irish smoked salmon and scrambled eggs, a three-egg omelet with honey-roasted ham, smoked Gouda, caramelized onions, Eggs Benedict, and buttermilk pancakes."

"Located at The Westbury Hotel, just off Grafton Street, Balfes have a stylish outdoor terrace to the front of the main bar and restaurant.

"Not only do they do amazing coffee, which we talk about in this article here, Square One also prepare a mean brunch. They do all the classic brunch recipes while also adding a few more original plates, such as blueberry, lemon, and ricotta pancakes and grilled peach French toast. The café is light and spacious and is currently doing takeaway brunch and outdoor dining to continue serving during COVID restrictions."

"This Mexican themed restaurant adds a bit of spice to the regular ebb and flow of brunch. They do brunch tacos, filled with toppings such as scrambled egg, chilli beef, mushrooms, and feta cheese. They have all the classic meals too, such as Eggs Florentine and a Full Irish Breakfast, as well as more innovative and global meals such as a Souvlaki Salad, Jerk Sandwich and TCA Nachos."

"Vintage arcade games and boozy brunch combine in this quirky favourite. A dive bar at the rear of a trendy bowling alley may not have traditionally earmarked itself as a brunch spot, but these days, you know it’s going to mean those two golden words: Bottomless."

"A bit of an edgier bathroom, Thunder Cut Alley has an interesting herd of rubber ducks swimming across the ceiling. Definitely something to occupy you while you use the loo."

"This casual, unpretentious restaurant serves up Lebanese cuisine, and except for a couple of dishes that include cheese, the majority of Umi Falafel’s menu is vegan. Here you’ll find freshly prepared, home-made falafel in sandwiches and salads, along with sides like vegan spinach filo pastries, stuffed vine leaves and lentil soup. With a number of branches throughout Dublin, Umi Falafel can be found in Ireland’s oldest shopping mall, George’s Street Arcade."
