My wife and I are staying in Malahide for our anniversary. Walking about town, we stumbled across…read morethe Old Street Restaurant. The menu looked wonderful, so we came back at dinnertime. 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. So happy we were able to enjoy such a wonderful meal on our anniversary.

It was absolutely delicious and given that it changes, I don't know if they will have it again. The roast rib of Irish beef was fantastic. So was the spicy passion fruit and vanilla mocktail. The staff were happy, attentive, and I felt welcome from the moment I stepped through the door. What a fantastic way to share my birthday. I can't wait to go back and visit someday.

Great food with good service who made me feel well taken care of, and the atmosphere was so relaxed you knew everyone was enjoying their time there.

Myself and my family made a booking on Saturday for Saturday evening, (which I was surprised to get…read morea booking at such late notice) We arrived and was given a table at the back corner, we ordered drinks and food Our starters arrived, which were nice, but then waited 10 to 15 minutes before r plates where cleared when the mains came My husband had ordered a ribeye steak €32. It was bland and quite fatty for a ribeye No one came to check our table And he ended up, just putting garlic mayo on top with the sauce that was on his plate to give us some sort of taste. My daughter got a tagliatelle which was very smoky Yet again, nobody checked the table. It was probably another 10 to 15 minutes for our plates to b cleared The waitress asked was everything okay my husband said about the steak been bland and fatty also my daughters dish was only 1/2 eaten .....she apologised and that was that !!!!!! Yet again we waited about 15 mins B4 I had to call over the manageress to ask for the bill ( we hadn't even been offered dessert menu and we were out celebrating a bday which I'd have said if we were offers dessert) I told her that the service had been really poor and she shrugged her shoulders and said sorry when the bill came It was €192 and my husband put €200 in the wallet and went to get the car. The girl took the wallet and never returned the €8. We were leaving it for a tip, even though I don't think it was deserved, but we weren't given an option as wallet wasn't returned to table I emailed the restaurant on my return home and received a phone call from the manageress the following evening She explained that they were very busy which I had said was great However, that wasn't my problem. We were paying guests also there was 3/4 tables free around us so they weren't really that busy, but when I said that she said they had been busy from 12 o'clock that day yet again, not my problem and then she went onto say cause of were we were seated they They tend not to see us !!!! I had booked for myself and my parents and sisters to go there for Christmas lunch in 2 days time and in my email I had sent I said I wanted to cancel the booking and on the phone call the manageress ask me, would I come in and allow For the staff to attend to us better than they had done on the Saturday night and I said absolutely no way. Unfortunately Mc Goverins has lost its magic and I could tell one from been able to get a booking two hours before our arranged reservation and two there was tables on the Saturday night before Christmas tables available around us when we were having a meal and when we were leaving. For this reason, I will most definitely will not be back to Mc Governs

For my mains I had Mexican burger with skinny fries, the burger had guacamole, sour cream, salsa, tomato and lettuce it was delicious.

The place was full and the staff were very friendly. We will defo be back.

They don't take breakfast reservations but on an off season Monday morning, there were plenty of tables available. My husband enjoyed his toasted breakfast sandwich on sourdough which was a huge portion. My Irish breakfast was delicious and they accommodated my request to swap out the black and white pudding for an extra rasher. My daughter was expecting a much fluffier version of the Belgian waffles - we noted that the menu describes the meal as "Waffles with crispy streaky bacon" and she only had a single waffle with not so crispy bacon. But we did enjoy everything else and will likely return.

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).

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.

Local colleagues chose this place for dinner and made reservations. Located by the water in…read moreMalahide, it's located in a Georgian townhouse. A little background, Chef Oliver Dunne had a Michelin star/fine dining restaurant upstairs, but dropped the star and fine dining to focus on the brasserie downstairs. So I knew the food would be tasty. Upon arrival, we were immediately greeted and our coats were checked. We were led to our table for 4 in the basement (I noticed the Tapas bar was very lively & busy before heading downstairs). Waiter was friendly; however, he seemed a bit overwhelmed and we would have to remind him of things. Food? Foie gras-tasty and unique presentation. I enjoyed this starter. Pappardelle-w/mushrooms & an egg. Delicious. Overall, my food was Very Good, but I did notice that my husband's fillet was not prepared correctly (he ordered medium rare and it was closer to medium well). I got the impression that he was disappointed with his entree. Thus, some hits and some misses. Finally, while waiting for a taxi that they ordered for us, we were given a tour upstairs where you can now host events. Seems a lovely setting for private events.

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.

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....

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.

My favourite thing to do is get a a bowel of freshly made porridge drizzled with maple syrup and a big hot steaming mug of tea, before an early flight. Once you pay for your tea/coffee you can get as many top ups as you want so if you are a caffine addict then this it the best place to buy your hot drinks! They have a great choice of fresh pastries and the lemon drizzle cake is gorgeous. I always get a slice to bring with me on the plane :-)
