The Best Seafood Restaurants In Howth, Dublin
Once a petite fishing village long-since grown into a bustling Dublin suburb and tourist trap, Howth still has some of the best seafood in the country. Here are the best seafood restaurants to visit in Howth.
1. The Brass Monkey
Bar, Restaurant, Wine Bar, Seafood
O’Connell’s
This lively pub has some of the best views in the village, overlooking the harbor’s East Pier and Lambay Island. They also have some of the tastiest seafood dishes in Dublin. Menu highlights include their fritto misto – a plateful of calamari, prawns, sole, haddock and whitebait in a tempura batter with garlic aioli and lemon – and their grilled Dublin Bay scampi. These are elegantly served without embellishment, halved and accompanied with butter, lemon and sea salt. Their catch of the day depends on the luck of the harbor’s many fishermen on any given morning, which is half the fun.
