I LOVE DEEP! Came…read moreacross this gem while I was in Howth for the afternoon with my friend. The ambiance is very intimate and cozy, perfect for quality time with a friend. Deep has super fresh seafood right from Dublin Bay. I know it's not Irish at all but I ordered seafood paella (my favorite food) and for dessert I had cheesecake. The paella was good but the cheesecake tasted more like a block of whipped cream. It definitely wasn't cream cheese. I also had a nice hot pot of peppermint tea since it pretty cold and windy when we visited Howth. Very nice dining experience. I would definitely come back here if I'm ever in Howth again!

My clam mussel dinner came with a great slice of bread. It sopped up the sauce to complement my Spanish wine. House salad had garbanzo beans.

The restaurant is located in the city center, just a few block from our hotel near St. Stephens Green. The 4 of us previously made reservations. It was a great meal and among the best we enjoyed during our 2 week stay in various parts of Ireland. Our waitress was great, particularly when she explained the Shrimp Scampi in Ireland was breaded. We had a nice table, with a nice view of the bar and the room, and fun energy. Here's what we ordered: - Matt's Seafood Linguine (Eric) - Turbot (Gayle) - Halibut (Fern) - Porchetta (Don) We ordered a bottle of white wine for the table (Gavi Di Gavi), which Fern had heard good things about. We were not disappointed as it went well with everything (including the pork) and was enough wine for how we often drink at dinner. We finished off with 2 orders (for sharing) of Warm Chocolate Fondant. Full and happy, we ventured back into the night and to our nice hotel.

Due to some bad advice from a woman in an ice cream kiosk we thought that we had a short 15 minute walk, which was really more like 35 minutes. By the time we got to Malahide the restaurant was closing a little early as they sold out of fish. We told the owner we'd eat whatever they had left. Everything is fresh and local. We had lobster, oysters and steak. And creme Brulee. All perfect. If we're ever back this way again we're heading straight here!

The restaurant is located across the road from the water, which is a beautiful view, but even in the evening the place is super cozy and the ambiance makes you feel relaxed and ready to enjoy some your time.

We shared the mussels and oysters (so fresh!!) and then for the main courses we had the Dover Sole and Thai curry monkfish, both so tasty and fresh. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who visits the wonderful town of Malahide!

I thought the creamy oysters took the cake. Pro tip: come during Happy Hour and get a euro off each oyster!
