Goats cheese starter
Sam R.

Early bird for €25 or €20 if you get a burger as your main? Eh... Yes please! Fab price. If, the food is good that is! And well... It was just that. I started with the goats cheese starter which came on a crisp bread, leafs and other fancy bits. It was very tasty indeed and I loved the presentation. I opted for the good oul burger with blue cheese as there burger options were good. It came with a choice of skinny fries or fat chips.(I got skinny) the burger was homemade and full of flavor. Worth trying for new diners but I'd try a different main dish should I return. Just because the main dishes looked lovely aswell. The deserts were spot on. Myself and my friend (a fellow yelper) shared the pear tart and cheesecake. Mmmm... just delicious. Both equally as good as each other. All in all well worth value for money for a good hearty 3 course meal.

Mexican burger
Zara N.

They do an excellently-priced Early bird here - 3 courses for €20 (if your main is a burger) and €25 otherwise. I had the chicken pate and it was one of the nicest I've ever had, flavoured with sherry and with a lovely onion marmalade on top, it was rich and creamy and served with plenty of bread to slather it over...really top-notch stuff! My Mexican burger failed to live up to the heights of the starter but it was still very tasty, just nothing out of the ordinary. The guacamole it came with was very fresh and zesty though, and it was a really decent sized burger, one that I would quite happily eat again. The desserts claimed to be home-made and you could definitely taste it - the pastry on the pear tart was deliciously flaky and crispy and the white chocolate raspberry cheesecake was really good - very light, despite appearances! For €20 for three generous-sized dishes, McGoverns really is exceptional value for money and the food is excellent considering the price, would definitely return but would try something other than the burger next time.

Aussie burger, with gluten free buns : delicious

The Greedy Goose - Soy, sesame and ginger tuna tostada

An excellent small plates restaurant in Malahide, The Greedy Goose is worth the trip from Dublin…read moreall by itself (but sure, enjoy the coast, the marina, and the castle while you're here). I knew I was going to be very happy from the first taste of the chef's choice appetizer this evening -- sweet onion, potato, and smoked lamb soup. It was amazing -- creamy, smooth, slightly sweet from the onion and just a hint of the smoky meat. From there the meal went from highlight to highlight, with each dish my favorite. From the soy, ginger and sesame tuna tostada to the warm goat cheese with hazelnut and honey, to the beautiful cider glazed pork belly. They have an excellent selection of small plates as well as a 3-course tasting menu (which comes with the chef's choice appetizer mentioned above).

We were visiting Ireland from California, and landed upon this gem completely by accident. We are…read moreso lucky!! The staff was so kind and attentive. EVERYTHING we ordered was delicious!!! Even our 8 and 10 year olds loved their food!!! The restaurant was clean, and had great views. There were people dressed casually (us!!) and people obviously celebrating something special. It would be a great place for a date night! I wish that we lived here so we could return. If you are fortunate enough to be in the area, eat here! You will NOT regret it!

I ate here in a pinch after realizing my chosen restaurant was just a takeaway place, and I wanted…read moresomething better to see myself off from Ireland. So I at least accomplished that. The seafood chowder here is yet another variation - I only saw fish in there although the menu said shellfish, but there were large chunks of fresh and smoked fish. Since their posted specials (outside) are only available on weekends (thanks, sign - but at least they were honest about it before bringing me anything I had to pay for), I tried the posh fish & chips. It was pretty good - definitely not your usual fish & chips, and the portion was deceptively decent. The sauce was too light on flavour and portion to really work with the potatoes, which were perfectly crisped Irish golds by the way. The fish was crispy outside and had the hint of cured/salty-smoky on the inside, definitely a lighter smoke on the salmon than you might get in Canada or New York. I washed it down with something else you don't really see in the states, Smithwicks pale ale. (Unlike most Irish pubs, there were mostly lighter beers here, pales and lagers, with Guinness holding down the dark side alone.) Nothing to write home about, but at least I ended the day on a high note.

Stayed here for a couple of days…read more.. Hotel: Rooms are tidy, clean and comfortable. They clean/tidy up the rooms every day. Pub/Restaurant: Typical Irish pub, with a lovely fireplace, huge selection of beer, wine and lovely food. Can only recommend. The personnel is really friendly, making you feel like at home, awaiting with a smile :) Highly recommend!!!

Went here last night for a meal with my girlfriend. This is my local and the food is always…read morefantastic. My girlfriend got the steak and I got the ribs, new to the menu. Both of us were full, big portions as usual. Only downside was with ribs being new on the menu, they never included a wet wipe for your fingers and using just a paper napkin left paper pieces stuck to the sticky BBQ sauce. One thing that did stand out was after we got our food, the waitress never came over again to check how the meal was or did we need more drinks. I ended up having to leave the table and walking to the bar for another round. But then again, it was a full house and very busy, so that could explain it....

I really want to like this place but it needs to choose whether to be a restaurant or a pub…read more TWO is a pub converted into a restaurant but it kept most of what I generally dislike about pubs. The seating is casual, there are large screens around showing sports and a bar counter up front. The menu is pretty limited, burger, lamb, chicken, fish & chips etc. The mains will set you back between 14 and 22 euro which makes me believe they're going for a certain crowd but the decor and atmosphere tells a different story. The food is very nice and the deserts are amazing and about worth the price. If TWO fully committed to being a restaurant (or even sectioned off an area for diners) it could be an amazing place.
