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.

That's when we discovered that the recently re-opened restaurant is Michelin rated and books up fast! We were so happy when they agreed to let us have dinner with them- as long as we could vacate the table before the reserved customers arrived (1 1/4 hours). Not nearly enough time to sample more than a cocktail and main, but well worth it! The covktails were small but well crafted. The lamb I ordered and the linguini w/ aglio e olio were simply delicious! For dessert, theybrought out a tray of parfaits. I chose the cherry/amaretto and it was great.

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).

The restaurant itself is quaint but utilizes its space well for seating. We were able to get a table around dinner time without reservations.

The gf version was not a letdown, and I was quite pleased. The mussels appetizer was also delicious. We enjoyed friendly, helpful service, food came out quickly, and portions were generous. It's definitely a great spot.

The crab avocado salad was fresh, delicious and a great healthy option. Along with the salad, my husband and I shared the fried calamari. The jam it comes with pairs AMAZING with the calamari, it was so yummy. The salad is on the smaller side, so I would definitely suggest pairing it with a shareable appetizer! I also got the carafe of Prosecco, and that was a great pairing with the salad.

First of all, it is located upstairs with very large windows so the view of Malahide's coast is extraordinary. The ambiance is very nice and upscale, but not in a pretentious way.

One of the locals (there was 6 of us) suggested this place. Said it used to be called the Wine Bar, and everyone still calls it the wine bar, despite it being called Chez Sara. Called them and they said they'd take us at 9pm. Boy was I glad we moved here :-) It's a simple enough menu - lots of fish, some steak, and a few other things. I had mussels to start, and lemon sole as my main (being one of my favourites). Around the table people had pork belly, open vegetarian lasagne, chicken, and fish. Everyone was delighted with their food. It's modestly priced, really delicious food, with a basic, kinda French style to it. We polished off some house red and white (also great), and even went for desserts. I thought my tarte tatin was slightly below par versus the rest of the meal, but that's basically looking for something to be picky about :-) I would recommend this for anyone : tasty food with friendly staff in nice, simple surroundings. Excellent - I shall return.

Why did I go 'Chez Sara'? Well it was a special occasion you see. I lost a bet, and my friend - who…read moreobviously won the bet - decided that I would take him to the restaurant. Guys these days... One star for the location. This restaurant is located in Malahide, in a little street just a few steps away from the sea. One star for the place. The restaurant has a very intimate feel about it. It is not very big, the table are made of old French boxes, walls are covered in famous vintage pictures, everything is simple and welcoming. One star for the food. I had fishcake as a starter, amazing and tasty. Then I had some cod with potatoes as a main, and that was equally beautifully cooked and tasty. And of course, the place being a wine bar I had some white wine, Picpoul. Just a glass, but what a glass ! One star for the waitressing. The waiting time was perfect, although I was starving ! The waitresses were very nice at all times. One star for the experience. The entire evening went really well overall. I will definitely go back and bring friends - even French friends ! I recommend 'Chez Sara' and give the restaurant a 5 star in a heartbeat. In the end my friend didn't remember the bet and invited me... Shhh I won't say if you don't ;) ***Update*** I came back to the place with the same place. We are losing 1 star here... The foie gras was presented on white bread. Shocking! It's no pâté! The hand cut fries were wedges. The textures wasn't right either. Otherwise the service was great and the overall experience very nice :)

The main course was Pollo con Panna e Funghi . Tender chicken, perfectly cooked pasta, mushrooms and an exceedingly delicious marinara. The ambiance was excellent and had a warm, inviting glow.
