Best Historic Restaurants in Howth

Afternoon tea is one of life’s accessible luxuries, and tea at the Shelbourne is one of the best. You may only have a yacht or a fancy apartment in your dreams, but you can be treated like royalty while sitting in the Shelbourne’s beautiful lounge. The food, drinks, and service are all impeccable. For anyone looking for a special way to celebrate an event in Dublin, this is the place to do it.

My first time back at Chez Maz for almost a year. Excellent service and food. Had les escargot and the plat du jour which was haddock. The only challenge was a very loud customer having a meeting which we all heard

Very good fish. Well served. thank-you

We went for my friend's birthday celebration. I booked for 4 adults, but we came with a 5month old baby with carriage. Was told 'you didnt book with a baby'. I felt embarrased infront of everyone. By the time we got a table, the party next to us have the same situation, a baby with a carriage. I need to know what's the drama behind booking with a baby. The hot drinks and pastries were ok at best. Scone for €5.5? It should be one of the best, but no. We have to ask for 2 hot drinks twice that werent served. The place is crowded and cramped. I dunno if this is usual. But I feel cramped in a canteen. The staff were nice and attentive. But the hard product was a complete contrast. I wil cancel the 2 bookings of afternoon tea after this experience. For almost similar price, just go to the nearby hotel.

Never a bad experience. We frequent DB every time we are in Dublin. The experience is always satisfying. We had dinner reservations for a Friday night (highly recommended). Quick to seat and serve us. Delicious food. Great drinks and the staff is always friendly. Will return. Family of four adults.
