Province of Leinster, Ireland Food Guide: 10 Seafood food Must-Eat Restaurants & Street Food Stalls in Dun Laoghaire
Reviews on Seafood food in Dun Laoghaire, Province of Leinster, Ireland. Dún Laoghaire (Irish pronunciation: [d̪ˠuːn̪ˠ ˈɫeːrʲə]) is a suburban coastal town in County Dublin, Ireland, about 12 km (7.5 miles) south of Dublin city centre. It is the county town of the Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown district. Formerly a major port of entry from Great Britain, it was known as Dunleary until 1821 when it was renamed Kingstown in honour of King George IV's visit that year, and in 1920 was given its present name, the original Irish form of Dunleary.

3 of us visited here for lunch. Staff were friendly, service cozy pub with new and comfortable seating. I had the Indian Lemon Chicken (mild curry) with basmati rice, the others had the scampi and chips. Food was well presented, wholesome and well portioned for the price.

Visited C and G (for the first time) on Wednesday night. The place was really busy. We got a window table , it was nice to watch the "world go by". The food was delicious with a lovely presentation. My steak was cooked to perfection. Our waitress was smiley and attentive. I have no doubt this restaurant will be successful . We will be back for more...

I love both Michaelâs and Little Mikes. First off their staff are amazing, so welcoming and accommodating and knowledgable about their menu. The food is simply stunning, if you love great steak and seafood you are in for a treat. I first learned about this restaurant from a business friend of mine and he suggested I visited, so I did. Since then Iâve taken many of my clients for a real experience of Irish seafood and fish in Michaelâs and Little Mikes and theyâve left being very impressed. A trip to both Michaelâs and Little Mikes will not disappoint. Never mind the stuck up review yer man gave below.Canât wait for my next visit. Keep up the great work guys!

Visiting Dublin Ireland with friends and took a day trip to the coastal town of Dalkey. After exploring the castle and surrounding area, we stopped in for an early dinner at Ouzo's Steak & Seafood restaurant on Castle Street. We were just in time for the Early Dinner Menu with 2 courses for â¬24. My starter order of buffalo wings was a generous portion fried crispy to perfection in a tangy sauce. The grilled hake entree was light and flaky and came with a side of grilled vegetables. The staff was extremely attentive and friendly and the atmosphere warm and inviting. It clearly is a favorite among locals as the dining room quickly filled up during our stay. Treat yourself to a great meal here next time you're in the area.

This charming bistro style seafood restaurant is well worth a visit.The owner, Peter Caviston, as utterly charming and his deli store next door, probably the best I have seen anywhere in Ireland.Caviston's has been there for decades, has a loyal local clientele and caters perfectly for visitors. Fresh, fresh seafood and shellfish. The crab mayonnaise is outstanding.

Reviewed By Oparazzo
On our first evening in Dún Laoghaire we had dinner at the Waterfront Bistro. We enjoyed it so much that we came back the next evening. (We might have come again on our third and last day, but that would have clashed with a European qualifier match against the Dutch. Alas, weâd better dined here again and not watched this humiliating loss...)The Waterfront Bistro is outstanding in many ways. The food is excellent, the wine list put together with great skill, the Guinness perfectly drawn into a chilled glass, and the proprietor makes you feel at home from the moment you step through the door.They offer a very refined way of home cooking. The soups of the day (for example parsnip/ginger) are soul-warming and have just the right consistency, not too thick and not too thin. The fish & chips were the best I ever had â Iâve had lots over there in the UK -, and I had to ask for more of the delicious remoulade sauce.The salads come dressed with a fine vinaigrette (on day 2, the greens would have benefitted from another washing cycle). We had them with goat cheese and with an interesting combination of pigeon and crispy fried pancetta. The vegetable linguine and the slow cooked pork belly were another examples of how to turn a rather ordinary dish into an epiphany (Iâm not exaggerating here). The mussels I had for starters were such a generous pile that it would have sufficed easily for a full meal; they were so delicious that I couldnât help licking my fingers instead of using the iced lemon water.On the first evening the ladies had some room left for dessert, in other words the options were too tempting. They had the mousses (mango/passion fruit and white chocolate/raspberry), both with vanilla ice cream. The photos speak for themselves.I wonder what the Michelin fellows were thinking when they visited Dún Laghoire the last time. A plate is the least we would award, but actually this place deserves a bib gourmand.Your review has been shared with all the staff and we are all thrilled. Thanks so much!
