    I was blown away by scotch and bonnet. If you are in Malahide, you HAVE to eat here. We had stumbled in here on Easter Sunday after being turned away from another restaurant that was only taking reservations that day. Let me tell you, I am so glad they did, because Scotch and bonnet is not to be scoffed at. We were welcomed in by this very warm and lively lady with dark hair and a pixie cut. We were then served by Kevin and he was also so full of energy. There was such a nice vibe inside as the restaurant was packed and filled with laughter. Every table we looked at was stacked to the edge with wings and ribs. It all looked delicious! We had the pork ribs and fish tacos with mango and chilli salsa with some wedges on the side. IT WAS TO DIE FOR. The ribs melt in your mouth and the bbq sauce is sticky, sweet and most of all SMOKEY. The fish tacos are literally overflowing with fish which has a crunchy battered exterior but was soft and juicy on the inside. My boyfriend and I shared this as finger food for the table and almost had an argument about who was going to eat the last rib! Haha. Overall food is 11/10 Service is 12/10 Ambience is 10/10 I've eaten at plenty a' good restaurants, I swear Scotch and bonnet is owed a michelin star. Definitely go here and experience this for yourself. Thank you Scotch and Bonnet for an extremely fantastic experience.

    Nice spot in the village. We popped in on a Friday around 4.30. it was starting to get busy even at that time and they asked if we had a booking, so maybe book a table to avoid disappointment! Food was good, kids had a margarita pizza which they absolutely demolished. They are quite large for smaller kids, not sure they make a kids size base so for a 5 and 4 year old one is fine. The wife had prawn tacos, which she said were a little overcooked. The buttermilk chicken burger was delicious. We shared a side of wedges covered in salsa, jalapeno and sour cream. Service was great, staff very attentive and very friendly towards the kids.

    We were very happy with Scotch Bonnet Grill house. My daughter loved the ravioli and my wife had the tacos and my son in law and I had the BBQ ribs. The ladies and one young man were great. It felt like a family atmosphere. Everyone liked so much we went back a second night. Great pace to go for a good mix if foods.

    We visited for dinner one Sunday recently because gluten free options are available. The food was very good and the waitress was knowledgeable about gluten free options. The restaurant is in a nice location and has a nice vibe. It's popular with families, so early Sunday evening isn't the time to eat there if you want a quiet meal, but otherwise, I'd recommend. It is nice to find restaurants that can accommodate fingers with gluten free requirements.

    Great little restaurant in Malahide. Got the Buffalo Chicken Burger and it was delicious. Nice and spicy the way I like it! Staff were very friendly and helpful. Would have been 5 stars only for we didn’t get a desert we had paid for but other than that it is an excellent place to visit and we will be back.

    Just had lunch here because I passed and smelt the beauty coming from the kitchen. What an absolute diamond of a place, so much so I made a reservation for tonight. What an inspiration to see young people produce what has to be the BEST prawns I've ever tasted (and I lived in Spain for 23 years). Young people inspire me and I can't wait for this evening. Shout out to the best sales person in malahide. When staff speak highly of the head chef, something is very right about the place. Well done to all and who manages all this young absolute talent. 10/10....who needs Marco Pierre White

    Fabulous pre-concert dinner yesterday afternoon. Lucky we’d booked, as it was busy. Really lovely, friendly staff and timely service - once we’d finally decided on the Bao Buns with Korean Sticky Chicken (so many delicious dishes to choose from!). Wow. Best meal I’ve had in ages; fresh, bursting with flavour and wonderfully different. Enjoyed with a lovely NZ white wine. Highly recommend this original, funky restaurant with great staff and delicious food. Full marks!

    Had an amazing meal today with my wife. We shared a BBQ ribs and a chicken wings and then got the Meat feast pizza. We decided to go for it properly and have a dessert. We both had Biscoff sundae, I am still dreaming about it. Absolutely delicious food, lovely staff and a great atmosphere, and spotlessly clean. Thanks guys, we will be back with more family soon

    I dined here last Saturday and it was rather busy, however this did not reduce the standard of service in the slightest. The servers were all very welcoming, polite and accommodating to our tables needs. The restaurant has a very warm and cozy atmosphere and is must see. In my calamari starter and ravioli main dish I was doubly impressed! Both were delicious, the ravioli especially, which was complemented with creamy mozzarella and pine nut sauce. I highly recommend the ravioli! I was loathed to skip dessert due to being in a rush, however after the lovely starter and main I am sure that the dessert would be just as great! Would absolutely return to Scotch Bonnet

    The food and atmosphere was amazing! Loved the cocktails. Staff were really nice and attentive. The outdoor seat was bit high and uncomfortable and it kept shaking as it wasn't balanced. Overall great food great ambiance!

    Take out food great (beef burger, chicken burger, pizza). Would love if they offered a salad instead of a burger bun. Desserts mediocre (Dine in). Friendly staff, especially the Waiter! He always has an amazing smile and energy.

  • 5/5 peter s. 1 year ago on Google
    Great experience,we were a party of four who took a chance on a walk in.we were meet by a very friendly and welcoming male member of staff ,sadly I didn't get his name,we were offered a booth to sit and it was very spacious and comfortable.We had bbq wings for starters which were gorgeous,for mains we had Korean fried chicken an Asian take on sfc which I'm told was lovely and not to spicy (didn't come with fries which I thought was unusual, but hey if you want fries don't forget to order them) in this case we didn't want fries,bbq ribs which was served with fries and coleslaw came with two racks of ribs which was great and was gorgeous,didn't get offered one so must have been good,thirdly fish and chunky chips which came with mushy peas tartar sauce I think that too was well received and gorgeous,I had the 10oz ribeye steak which also came with chunky chips ,onions rings pepper sauce and side salad ,steak was cooked perfectly the way I asked ,very juicy and tender ,best steak I've had in a few years,for dessert we had the special which was bannoffi cheese this was amazing ,the dessert menu came in the form of a rolling pin with the options on it ,just spin to see what was available .Staff were very friendly and courteous which was great to see these days ,service was brilliant ,as I said sadly I don't get any of the staffs names which was a potty as it would be nice to give the a shout here,only thing downside to our visit is that they only had Bulmers cider and this was a disappointment as one of our party only drinks orchard thieves,but a vodka and coke stepped in to ease their pain.Might be worth adding and other or several cider options but apart from that ,highly recommend Scotch Bonnet defo a little gem tucked away on Church Road ,will defo be back ,thanks for a lovely evening.

    Staff is unbelievably nice and food is lovely. My partner loved the wings and the chicken tocos were lovely, a bit too spice for me but flavours were there. Only thing I would have rathered is pico de galo instead of a wet salsa, and also don't dress up. I did and I felt almost embarrassed most people were in leggings and converse shoes so I was bit over dressed for a date night.

  • 4/5 Joanne C. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing chicken burger and staff were great. Above and beyond going out to get the tonic I like. How nice! Chicken wings were a bit on the dried out side.

  • 4/5 Seamus C. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely food and good service. A bit tight for space though but they took us with no reservation so won't hold it against them. Would recommend 👌

  • 3/5 Karina O. 1 year ago on Google
    The meal was nice. The chicken wings were not great quality, very chewy but the sauce was great. The ribs were the best part! Chilly beef tacos were just ok. The desert however was very bad, we got a donut and it was so hard and very stale. We were not asked how it was either it seemed like they knew it wasn't great. But overall the staff were lovely and the atmosphere was pleasant.

  • 5/5 Daria V. 5 years ago on Google
    Great ambience due to some nice music and kinda low light. The service was quite fast and the food was really amazing. The fish and chips are for sure to try if you are here. And I truly recommend the cheesecake. Another thing that my friend tried was the roasted beef with was delicious. 5 stars for this place with no doubt!

    Delicious food, great service. A lovely ambiance and interesting decor! Family friendly, highchair provided and the staff will do their best to accommodate your child's buggy. Nice children's menu too. The goats cheese crostini is mouthwatering 😋😋😋😋❤

  • 5/5 Mark 2 years ago on Google
    This is a well run clean establishment with enthusiastic owners/ staff. We were checked for Covid-Cert on entering which was the only place on our short stay in Malahide that did and pleased us.We had an evening meal of fully loaded Angus burgers with fries finished off with a couple of espresso martini.I can recommend the Scotch Bonnet Grill House (Malahide’s mini Hard Rock Cafe).

  • 5/5 David G. 2 years ago on Google
    Fantastic restaurant in Malahide just 30 minutes from Dublin City Center via the DART. Excellent service, friendly and accommodating staff, delicious food, and excellent large portions. The town is also delightful to visit!!! Make sure you add Scotch Bonnet and Malahide to your itinerary.
