Set in beautiful waterside Howth, it's only a few minutes' walk from the train station. We lucked out with a nice day and grabbed a table outside. The seafood was ridiculously fresh and scrumptious. The gambas prawns were delicious, and they bless you with a generous portion of sides. The oysters were meaty and tasted like the ocean--though they seemed to have been shucked in a rush, so they weren't the cleanest. The biggest surprise of the day was the hummus. Easily some of the best I've ever had. They also have a pretty deep wine collection, though I was curious why there wasn't any beer, it would've paired better with my meal. To top it all off, the staff were incredibly kind and delightful. Great food, great setting, and a name you won't forget.

I was so so presently surprised by this restaurant I can't even say…read more I know Howth well and I imagined it was a touristy fish and chips but my husband was with me and he was hangry. The service from the moment we walked in was so welcoming. Helpful, funny. Place was beautifully decorated, immaculately clean. (That's my thing, beware dim lights) I ordered the clam chowder. I grew up on New England chowder and it's my comfort food. But their chowder, wow. Blew it away. So so so much delicious seafood cooked to perfection. I cool myself an I was trying to dissect the dish to duplicate. How do you get so much flavor without over cooking? Anyway, go go go. Make a reservation, we didn't but they accommodated us. Best meal I had in Ireland this year.

Deep has super fresh seafood right from Dublin Bay. I know it's not Irish at all but I ordered seafood paella (my favorite food) and for dessert I had cheesecake. The paella was good but the cheesecake tasted more like a block of whipped cream. It definitely wasn't cream cheese. I also had a nice hot pot of peppermint tea since it pretty cold and windy when we visited Howth. Very nice dining experience. I would definitely come back here if I'm ever in Howth again!

I walked by a few…read moretimes trying to find Crabby Jo's until I gave up, but I'm happy to report I still ended up eating, and still had a nice experience lol. I'd definitely recommend as a low-key lunch spot. I stopped in for a super early lunch after a boat ride (It was 11:40ish) and was happy to see the dining area was already filling up. Some folks were ordering coffee, and others were skipping to lunch like me. I went with the crab burger and this thing was massive. I swapped regular fries for sweet potato fries for an extra few $$$. The portion size and quality ingredients = definitely worth the price. Once you leave the restaurant, you can walk through to the gift shop. I ended up buying quite a few trinkets for friends and family. It was one of the more impressive gift shops that I had seen while on my trip for sure! And they also have a fresh seafood selection on display. A little bit of everything!

I don't know if I could tell these apart except from the shape so I asked which was the most popular and was told cod. So I ordered the cod fish & chips and a side of mushy peas. I ordered at the counter and waited about 5 minutes for my number to be called then took the box outside to eat on the lawn near the water, keeping a careful watch on the aggressive seagulls. The portion was good, the fish was fresh like just off the boat, the batter light and mildly seasoned, and no disagreeable flavors from the frying oil. Unfortunately the batter was inconsistent: thin and crunchy in places, thicker and soggy in others. The fries were just ok, starchy. So overall only average. I had to try mushy peas again, just my second time. They tasted and looked just like they sound: mashed up green peas. No mint flavoring added this time. Fine for what they were, but I just don't get it. I think I prefer coleslaw with my fish&chips but I don't think it's offered here. Perhaps coleslaw is an American thing? So only average overall. But I'd consider returning if I wanted a quick takeout lunch as the other restaurants in the area were more formal sit-down places.

Great selection of local Irish oysters, a perfect balance of flavor and butteriness. Also very nicely made razor clams, spot-on cooking, no excessive moisture but still packed a lot of briney flavor, bouncy texture, and complex mouthfeel from the spices and seasoning. A bit pricey (€13), but it was worth a try.
