They have the best oysters! The plan for the day was to drive to Howth and explore the town. But…read moreheavy rains and wind ruined those plans. Since we were on this side of the town, we decided to make the most of it and look for a meal of seafood. I had Octopussy's Tapas bookmarked when researching for the trip, so we decided to stop in for lunch. It was a Thursday at around 1:30, and the restaurant was almost full. It's a very small restaurant and it's mostly high top tables with bar stools, so it wasn't exactly looking baby-friendly, since had our 8-month old and a stroller with us. Luckily, they have a small back room (literally a room that can probably seat 4-6 people) that was available, and they seat us back there. It was nice and cozy, and cute - decorated like you were on a ship. Here is what we ordered: -Carlingford Oysters (served in the shell with fresh lemon) - these oysters were everything! They were big, shucked properly, and tasted super fresh. It didn't need anything but the lemon but they did recommend us trying their housemade hot sauce. We did and we loved it, and ended up buying a bottle to take home. We also ended up ordering some more oysters for dessert (lol) -Seafood Chowder (squid, mussels, smoked coley, & prawns served with homemade brown bread) - this was full of seafood. It is heavy though since chowder is cream-based so I would recommend sharing this, as opposed to ordering one on your own. The brown bread was also very nice -Seafood Paella (paella rice, chorizo, mussels, gambas, squid rings, and smoked coley) - another dish filled with seafood. They don't skimp out here! I could have done without the squid rings (they tasted rubber-bandy, like they're from frozen), and the smoked coley. I'm not a huge fan of smoked foods. I didn't really taste it in the chowder - maybe the cream covered it up, but I was able to taste it more in the paella -Whiskey Scallops (cooked in whiskey butter) - very rich but the scallops were good. You definitely want to dip some of the brown bread in this sauce There were so many other dishes we wanted to try but we had to stop ourselves from ordering too much for two people. Overall, it was a great meal and at these prices for seafood?! You really can't beat it.

I'd realised this place was related to somewhere in the city centre so knew I was getting a little taste of that anyway. A lot of other places in Dundrum are major chains you will have eaten at before so this I think is one of the best evening options that's a little bit different. The wine, sherry and port selection is extremely wide and I was delighted in everything I drank. I had a warming sherry to start and also tried a lychee-like marsala and a fantastic little port taster - literally named for those who can't make their mind up - the white and medium (not the technical term) were brilliant. While nothing food wise was extraordinarily memorable it was highly consistent and arrived at a good pace for us. Definitely would recommend if you're in the area and would return if nearby myself.

I heard it was a hyped-up place that was available all over the UK. However, I was surprised and enjoyed my food! I ordered: 1/4 Chicken with Regular Coleslaw and Regular Spicy Rice - €13.20 (as of Jan 2025) - SoOoO their chicken was alright - not too salty. The roasted flavor was decent but the chicken meat was a little dry. The BEAUTY of this dish is the sauce! I tried their Lemon & Herb, which was good - tangy. But you need to try their Peri Peri sauce, which is self-serve. The sauces are made of African Bird's Eye Chillies, lemon, and garlic! I believe I grabbed the medium and it was soOo yummy! The sauce is what made the whole meat elevated. Not too spicy, adds more flavor and punch to the dish, and I can't stop thinking about this sauce! You really have to try it haha. - I picked coleslaw (I needed some 'veggies'!), and the spicy rice was good - nothing spectacular, but they were good. I'm not going to lie; this dish is a little overpriced, but the sauce got me googly-eyed, lol. We ended up ordering online, which was very handy. Here is the link to order, just plug in the location: https://www.nandos.ie/order/search Customer Service: The guy who greeted us and brought out our food was super friendly. Our friend had gone to the restroom and the server offered to place her food back under the warmer when he brought it out to prevent it from getting cold. Very thoughtful! Seating: They have two floors of seating available, and we sat on the first floor. No problems getting seated. All in all, I would recommend that you try Nando's at least once during your trip!

Nando's is pretty simple known for their Portuguese flame-grilled peri peri style chicken. It also comes with a variety of sides and sauces, which is the best part. Between the two of us, we got the Full Platter for 2 (€29.95). This was more than enough food for both of us, which included a whole chicken and 4 small sides. We opted for peri chips, cole slaw, spicy rice, and garlic bread. Make sure you grab the different sauces to add to your chicken too! I have to say it wasn't as amazing as the first time I've had Nando's, but it's still yummy. For the price, it's also one of the more affordable meals we had while in Ireland. It's a good filling meal with lots of variety.

Great Yelp reviews tempted us to score a same day reservation that imposed a one-hour time limit caveat. The Connemara oysters and halumi cheese starters were impressive, but the main dish, a sliced pork chop with petit pois special for two (€60) was far too salty, fatty and inedible for one of us who wrongly expected more of a tender, grilled chop than thickly sliced ham chunks and a deconstructed bone. Although we were offered dessert, (beyond our hour slot) the noise level and close proximity of fellow diners left us rushing for the door and the welcomed respite of the city sidewalk.
