Dry my eyes?
Odd thing to say
DRY YOUR FUCKING EYES
Oh right
Good one lads 
Woeful from the times. Their picks from malahide are lazy as fuck and barely a write up. The token portmarnock is said to be at the beach. It’s at the leisure centre, about as far away from the beach as you can get in porto.
Can you do the honours please? Don’t have a sub

Old Street
Old Street, Malahide; 01-845-5614, oldstreet.ie
You enter Old Street from the side street of the same name and walk into a double-height bar that is all soaring brick and oak, with a second floor set back behind glass up a floating concrete flight of stairs. Old Street is a glossy reinvention of an unloved corner at the heart of the village – and some of the food is fantastic. Children are more than welcome, with half portions of all adult dishes available. Catherine Cleary
Bon Appetit
8 James’s Terrace, Malahide; 01-845-0314, bonappetit.ie
Bon Appetit may have jettisoned its Michelin star, but the quality of the cooking hasn’t appreciably changed. With private dining rooms on the first floor and the restaurant-cum-brasserie in what Bon Appetit calls the lower ground level but which to you and me is the basement. The staff are warm and efficient. And the food, under the direction of Oliver Dunne’s protege Aaron Carroll, is very good indeed. Monday diners can avail of a 40 per cent discount for two courses.

A Dó cafe
2 Ross Terrace, New Street, Malahide; 087-345-9746, facebook.com/adocoffeetogo
Krishna Padayachee and Anna Maria Brady are serving up their father’s Indian recipes from a hatch on Ross Terrace. Their potato curry (in a box or a sandwich) has layers of soft spice, parathas are soft and chewy, and chutneys are vibrant in colour and taste. Perfect for a picnic on the green at the marina or to take in to Malahide Castle. Coffee is from Ariosa, pastries from Tartine and vegan treats from Mammy Granola. Lisa Cope
The Garden House
Backroad, Mabestown, Malahide; 01-685-4597, thegardenhouse.ie
The Garden House bills itself as “Dublin’s finest garden centre and cafe”. The cafe is a hit with Irish Times readers, who vouched for it a couple of years ago on a list of great places to eat with outdoor tables. The picturesque thatch-covered cafe serves a selection of savoury and sweet dishes, cakes and bakes for breakfast, brunch and lunch, with indoor dining also available.

Other spots
Harry’s wine bar (3 Old Street), inspired by Harry’s Bar in Venice, is a popular newcomer with a fine outside terrace as well as indoor dining. Déjà Vu (19 Old Street) serves up French bistro-style fare, while That’s Amore (12 Townyard Lane) is a gorgeous trattoria whose fabulous dishes belie its understated décor. Siam Thai (1 The Green) is a fantastic harbourside spot, while Sale e Pepe (Main Street) and fine-dining restaurant Nautilus (Marine Court Centre) are well worth a visit too.
There are some top neighbourhood pubs, too. Gibney’s (6 New Street) is buzzy, while Fowlers (12 New Street) and Duffy’s (Main Street) are perfect for cosy pints. Gilbert & Wright/The Living Room (1 Ross Lane), meanwhile, draws a younger crowd

Wrights draws a younger crowd apparently? Weird that its known locally as Cougar Town…

Looks like a grand list to me. And no mention of the beach in the token Porto inclusion to my eyes.

Fair enough mate. It’s obviously a while since you set foot in porto. Disappkinted in yiur reading comprehension skills though. It says puck burger has moved to porto, by the sea. It’s at the famous swimming pool/football/padel tennis and pub complex.

Nah. The “seaside setting” is a reference to Porto as a place. It’s a short stroll to the beach for anyone so inclined.
