    Fantastic food with great service. The food is amazing and the menu has a great selection. Would highly recommend visiting the Greedy Goose when in Malahide. 10/10 from us.

    The food was spectacularly good! Generous portions cooked to perfection. Loads of gluten free options. Service was excellent. Not over priced. You must book in advance as its very popular. I will absolutely be back. Gorgeous little gem by the sea, feels like you are on holiday. It is on the first floor so access by stairs only.

    A very pleasant dining experince. 3 course are a bit too much for one person, the portions o appetizers are quite big. Nice view of marina. We tried 7 different dishes, aubergine-feta rolls and crispy slow-roast lamb were my favorites.

    Lovely & cosy spot in Malahide! Very tasty dishes & friendly service. 2 of us having dinner & we went for menu A & B and shared between us - so good! Highlights of the night were the peri peri tiger prawns & the seabass. Surf & Turf and mussels were also yum. We really enjoyed our meal & hope to be back soon!

    Good food all in all. Although experience varies from time to time. Last Sunday I had the most amazing dinner in there with all dishes being served to perfection. Everything about each dish ordered that time was just right: the taste, the looks and smell. One week after we came to repeat the experience, but despite placing the similar orders, the food was just acceptable but nothing close to what we had before. It was served differently and tasted less appealing. I think this might be down to the specific chef's cooking it at the specific time in the end. I just wish I knew who cooked the food first time, so they might get me coming to the Greedy Goose again and again.

    Have been there with two of my friends and we all loved the dishes chosen, great experience all in all. Restaurant wasn't busy when we had been there, though that was a while back. Greedy Goose offers a range of Irish tapas and you can order 3 or 4 courses and pay a fixed price. Though we talk tapas, and not mains, portions are still big enough to fill you up and satisfy your taste buns 😉

    Great spot in Malahide north of Dublin/Portmarnock..... Quaint upstairs dinning, cozy, call ahead for seating....

    Had a lovely meal here a while back, ordered from both A and B menu selection for 2 so we got to try a variety. Highly recommend. We were here just after the lunch crowd on a Saturday, around 3pm, and it was great.

    Really nice cozy restaurant right by the harbor. Service was very attentive and nice. We had the 3-4 course meal option fans it was quite filling although the serving sizes weren’t too big. Very unique flavors of quality food. Loved it.

    Great choice of food. Loved the complimentary chef special. It was delicious. Staff were excellent and service was great. Lovely views at over the estuary!!

  • 5/5 Jessica Q. 7 months ago on Google
    Amazing gluten free options, beautiful view and the tastiest food I've had in a long time. I had the nachos, the scallops, the surf and turf and was treated to an amuse bouche too. Left full and happy. Reasonably priced for the standard of food. Worth every penny.

  • 4/5 Nathan T. 7 months ago on Google
    Nice cozy place to have a great selection of tapas. Food here was great, you can choose 3 items from menu A or B ;). I went for B I got mussels, the slider and the calamari. The portion sizes are quite generous for tapas. The staff here are lovely and very accommodating. We came here for a birthday and had a great time. The sticky toffee pudding was amazing too.

    Had the BEST lunch in a long time here, absolutely loved it. Table for 2 overlooking the sea. Most fabulous staff. Will definitely be back!

  • 5/5 Mónica V. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely amazing. One of the best places to eat food that we have ever been. The service, the place and the food has been 10/10. We are really happy to recommend and go back again 🥰

    Updated Menu, very sad they replaced the Lamb. Early dinner, no reservations...but highly recommend you call ahead. The Chef really knocked it out of the park with the mussels. Fantastic view, service very attentive but not overly so. Large selection of mixed drink options, good selection of Wine.

    You will love this restaurant if you order the right dishes as in some the portions were very tiny. Surf and turf was outstanding. Dessert wasn’t so great.

  • 5/5 Reta O. 11 months ago on Google
    Impeccable. Their staff are friendly, attentive, smooth and approachable. Their seasonal concept is a delight. Their food is clearly well thought and the presentation is carefully prepared. I need that soup recipe!

  • 3/5 Álvaro A. 11 months ago on Google
    I really enjoyed the food at The Greedy Goose! The sizes of the plates are too small for what they charge, considering that is not a high standard place. There are tables that are lower than the standard, which is quite annoying for people over 1.7 meters. You have to book in advance, but it's worth it for an special occasion.

    I recently had the most amazing time at The Greedy Goose in Malahide! Let me tell you, the food was out of this world. Every dish was prepared with so much care and looked like a work of art. And the staff? They were the friendliest bunch ever! Now, here's the cherry on top: the value for money. I was pleasantly surprised by how reasonable the prices were, considering the top-notch quality of the food. You get to enjoy a gourmet meal without breaking the bank. And to make it even better, you have a stunning view of the Malahide marina while you dine. It's the perfect combo! Overall, The Greedy Goose is a hidden gem. The food is absolutely drool-worthy, the staff is super friendly, and you get fantastic value for your money. Trust me, you won't regret visiting this place. Go check it out and prepare to be wowed!

    Love this place. I think I've been about 4 times. There's always something new on the menu, and everything is presented very beautifully and in an often unexpected way. The breaded mushrooms are delicious and I had crab claws which were amazing. The restaurant also a beautiful view over Malahide marina.

    Great little spot after a walk on the beach. The staff are really lovely both when I made the last minute reservation over the phone and when we were served.

  • 5/5 Crisalis Gabrí U. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best service I’ve ever received, the waitress was super kind, helpful and nice the portions of food are quite small but full of taste. I truly loved the place

  • 5/5 David B. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic little restaurant that we stumbled across. The waitress was so lovely and smiling in a real authentic way. We heard her speaking to someone on the phone about a booking and her mannerisms were so good. The portions here are small which made more sense around how they do the menu. Essentially it's like a tasting menu which we didn't actually get at first. Suited us as we were looking for lunch but if you're there for dinner getting a second main would be needed. If you're in the area it's worth your consideration. We'll be back.

    Tiny restaurant but loads of choices. The tapas food style isn't my taste but that's a personal choice , I still thought I'd give it a go. The staff were so lovely and attentive. I would recommend if you like tapas

  • 5/5 David D. 2 years ago on Google
    We tried The Greedy Goose because it advertised itself as a non-traditional dining experience, and we were absolutely thrilled with our experience there. The menu is a little confusing in it's layout; each dish is labeled either A or B, and you can order each individually. But there's an excellent valued set menu option (with B costing slightly more than A) where picking three dishes with the same letter gives you a decent discount overall. Personally, I feel the menu could be laid out to have all the As and all the Bs listed together rather than jumbled up. But that's really the only complaint to be made, and is very minor. The food was delicious. Portion sizes were mostly generous. Two of us ordered B and one ordered A. B comes with a complementary soup, but our guest who ordered from A got one too. This meant that we got, effectively, a five our meal for about E35. The portion sizes are a tad smaller than a standard entree would be, but it advertises itself as a tapas experience, and you're obviously meant to get multiple courses. So the relatively smaller portions make sense overall. We got a wide selection between the three of us, and (as pictured) all of the food was delicious and expertly served. The waitress was extremely friendly. The atmosphere was delightful, and we were sat by a window overlooking the ocean, which was lovely. We 100% plan on visiting this place again, and we could not recommend it enough. One of the easiest 5 star reviews I've left in quiet a while.
