Seafood restaurants in Dublin

  1. A

    Johnnie Fox's

    Ireland's highest-altitude pub is about 45 minutes from Dublin in the Wicklow Mountains. Some people find it kitsch and overdone, but it's actually an authentic old place full of bric-a-brac, gnarled benches, sawdust floors and crackling open fires. The fabulous (but pricey) seafood and nightly Irish music are another draw.

    Ocean

    Once the docks are redeveloped, Ocean will have one of the best views in town (hence the floor to ceiling windows). The problem is, it’s already charging for the view while it – and the food – aren’t quite there yet. Standards include oysters, crab salad and a langoustine (lobster) cocktail, but portions are small and the convoluted cooking unreliable. That said, there’s a nice terrace, should the sun stick its head out.

    Oar House

    A feast-o-fish is what the menu is all about at this newish restaurant – particularly the locally caught variety. Par for the course in a fishing village, but this place stands out both for the way the fish is prepared and because you can get everything on the menu in smaller, tapas-style portions as well as mains.

  4. Seafood Shops

    If you want to buy food and prepare it yourself, Howth has fine seafood that you can buy fresh from the string of shops on West Pier.
