HOWTH FISHERMEN'S FARMER'S MARKET €
( 01-611 5016;
www.irishfarmersmarkets.ie
; West Pier, Howth Harbour; 10am-5pm Sun & bank holidays)
One
of the best in Dublin, this is the place to come not only for fresh fish (obviously) but also
for organic meat, veg and homemade everything else, including jams, cakes and breads. A
great option for Sunday lunch.
MARKET
HOUSE €€
IRISH
( 01-839 6388;
www.thehouse-howth.ie
; 4 Main St; mains €16-23; 9am-3pm Mon-Fri, 11.30am-3pm &
6pm-11pm Sat & Sun)
Wonderful spot on the main street leading away from the harbour where
you can feast on dishes like crunchy Bellingham blue cheese polenta or wild Wicklow ven-
ison stew as well as a fine selection of fish.
OAR HOUSE €€
( 01-839 4562;
www.oarhouse.ie
; 8 West Pier; mains €16-24; 12.30-10pm)
A feast-o-fish is what the
menu is all about at this newish restaurant - particularly the locally caught variety. Par for
the course in a fishing village, but this place stands out both for the way the fish is prepared
and because you can get everything on the menu in smaller, tapas-style portions as well as
mains.
SEAFOOD
AQUA €€€
( 01-832 0690;
www.aqua.ie
;
1 West Pier; mains €29-32; lunch & dinner Tue-Sat)
Another contender for
best seafood in Howth, Aqua serves top-quality fish dishes in its elegant dining room over-
looking the harbour. The building was once home to the Howth Yacht Club.
SEAFOOD
