There's a long wait over the weekend, but this place has amazingly tasty and fresh seafood ! Can't go wrong with their tapas ! If you sit outside, they can provide some blankets when it's cold!

Fantastic sea food tapas , warm and friendly staff , cosy seating . Would recommend baby octopus ,,monk fish casserole . Yummy. Never disappointed me. Second time- from Turkey . ????????

Théo Blochet

The go-to place for seafood by the howth harbour . Gets pretty packed so come early on weekends.

Klaudia Cembor

A must when in the area! The place has its own little vibe going. Dark and cozy with exquisite seafood tapas ! The chef is a master and the service is pleasant as can be.

Mussels and the oysters ,YUMM... Amazing service by Louise, she defiantly made it an evening to remember.. Not to forget cute and cosey atmosphere

Food is amazing, can't stop thinking about it. Every time I have sea food , end up comparing it to Octopussy's. Cozy , delicious, unique, yet to be beaten.

Try to come by opening at 12. Otherwise it’s quite challenging to get a table, waiting time is about 30". But I must say, it totally worth it anyway, even with 1 hour waiting.

great shrimps piri piri , loved mussels too. friendly staff , nice view facing howth harbour .

Raci Murphy

Excellent seafood - dishes fresh, well flavoured and just the right size for sharing. Non seafood options on menu best avoided as not executed as well .

Mariana Bernasconi

Being from coastal South America, we know our seafood ! My dad found the mussels here to be "fantastic" and he doesn't say that lightly! They claim to have veg options but it's only salad and potatoes

Arif

The best seafood tapas I ate in Dublin. A must-go place never mind the prices. You can try all menu and all good.

The best thing about Howth walking is the heap of delicious seafood after.

Not to easy to find but the place to go to eat seafood . Try homemade specialities. Place crowdy, few tables.

Big disappointment :( Having read the reviews we had high expectations, but the food was beyond average. The pasta with monkfish was overcooked and swimming in oil. Dont go for patatas bravas either????
