It's hard to find a shop these days that is family run(for the last 50 years) where the staff remember your name, your children's names and ask who you got on with the week befores purchases. Not only do we leave with great fresh "prime" fish, which is not sold in many fishmongers, but we get some fresh air while walking down the Coal pier, feed the seals with fish supplied by The Quay and have great memories as a family, most children hate going shopping but mine would go crazy if I went here without them!

We'll definitely be back.

But it all comes down to quality. The fish in this place is great and they have a great variety. Swordfish and red mullets are quite difficult to find in Dublin and coming from Sicily I was seriously missing eating these types of fish. The people working in here are amazing! They always clean the fish thoroughly and they are super polite and friendly. I keep recommending this place to everybody.

You have to ring the bell and then, after a while, someone will open you and ask for your name. You enter and see that this place was last decorated around 1982 or so. Lot's of kitsch, golden mirrors, old paintings on the walls and thick carpet covering the floor. The restaurant is packed with grannies sipping hot drinks and the waiters are exceptionally friendly. It's been a while I was called "Sir". We were seated next to a blurry window and a fire blazing radiator. It's May, late spring and people are swimming near by in the sea. I turned the heating down and tried hard to squeeze my 6 feet body into a chair in the corner. The waiter took our order and we were served a Côtes du Ventoux 2008, some Beck's, a crab meat salad, an orange sorbet, some tender duck and a roasted lamb, then some strawberries on ice cream for dessert. The meal was extremely delicious. We paid € 115 for that which is expensive but we enjoyed it anyway. At that moment it seemed appropriate. Dalkey is an area where apparently the crisis hasn't hit yet. Lots of Porsches, Mercedes and Maseratis were cruising through the Saturday evening. I think at least since 1982 we were the only people ever visiting the Guinea Pig on bicycles. One other thing of notice I thought was the Gentlemen's room. Coming from the dusty grampa area where I had this fancy dinner I didn't expect to be greated by Marylin Monroe and a Playboy Bunny hanging over the "pissoire". I thoroughly enjoyed this quirky evening where things just didn't match but I was cared for by good people and excellent food.

It was my first time back in the last year, having eaten there many times over the past 15 years. From experience I was expecting good food but my expectations were exceeded on all fronts. We had a nice leisurely meal in old fashined informal ambiance, a few complimentary samplers, and free Sunday newspapers to take home (we were last to leave as usual). The food was delicious and prepared and presented to a high standard. I had the best bowl of mussels in years, the sea bass was outstanding, the vegetables were worth writing home about, and the cheese was well presented but lacking in imagination. I like strong smelly cheeses with my last glass of red wine. All in all, this restaurant gets my highest recommendation if you want to spend an evening chatting with friends over an excellent meal with warm, friendly company.

I asked our tour guide to recommend the best place in the Dublin area for fresh, well-prepared…read morelobster. He suggested Lobstar. It's quite a taxi ride from the center of town but well worth the trip. I did have to book a couple of weeks in advance to get even a 9:15p.m. Friday night reservation, so plan ahead. Usually, lobster is overcooked, so we get used to it being that way, The lobster at Lobstar was a revelation, cooked just barely enough, so it was moist, tender and flavorful. The sauce underneath was exquisite. The menu listed only "lobster tail." I had to ask that the claws be included, which was at extra cost. No question, it was the best lobster I've ever eaten! The generous side order of green beans (with a little grated cheese and hot sauce) was a nice addition. It's small and unfancy, not a place for a serious conversation. The hard surfaces reflact the lively chatter of closely seated diners. Most of the diners were dressed casually. The waitstaff were attentive and pleasant.

We had mussels (lovely fresh & plump) and the tuna poke (really yummy) to start followed by the ray (absolutely lovely) and the sea bream with truffle & Parmesan fries on the side (these were great too). The mains were well presented fresh with nice accompaniments on the plate. Then we pushed the boat out & went for deserts - Eton mess & the chocolate mousse, the latter being an absolute star for us! We washed it all down with a nice rose - their wine menu has quite a good selection to choose from. The staff were nice & welcoming too, so would highly recommend trying this place out. Whilst we were there the place packed out quite quickly, so a reservation may be the safe thing to do.
