An experienced couple run this friendly bistro located in a pleasant spot on Howth seafront; start with a drink in the ground-floor bar before heading up to the bistro-style dining room. Irish ingredients are the bedrock of the menu, including Boyne Valley cheeses, Winetavern Farm pork from Wicklow and plenty of seafood from the harbour just over the road. This produce is fashioned into fresh, flavoursome dishes that are carefully cooked and neatly presented. Stick around for dessert, as it’s likely to be a highlight.
