They have the best oysters! The plan for the day was to drive to Howth and explore the town. But…read moreheavy rains and wind ruined those plans. Since we were on this side of the town, we decided to make the most of it and look for a meal of seafood. I had Octopussy's Tapas bookmarked when researching for the trip, so we decided to stop in for lunch. It was a Thursday at around 1:30, and the restaurant was almost full. It's a very small restaurant and it's mostly high top tables with bar stools, so it wasn't exactly looking baby-friendly, since had our 8-month old and a stroller with us. Luckily, they have a small back room (literally a room that can probably seat 4-6 people) that was available, and they seat us back there. It was nice and cozy, and cute - decorated like you were on a ship. Here is what we ordered: -Carlingford Oysters (served in the shell with fresh lemon) - these oysters were everything! They were big, shucked properly, and tasted super fresh. It didn't need anything but the lemon but they did recommend us trying their housemade hot sauce. We did and we loved it, and ended up buying a bottle to take home. We also ended up ordering some more oysters for dessert (lol) -Seafood Chowder (squid, mussels, smoked coley, & prawns served with homemade brown bread) - this was full of seafood. It is heavy though since chowder is cream-based so I would recommend sharing this, as opposed to ordering one on your own. The brown bread was also very nice -Seafood Paella (paella rice, chorizo, mussels, gambas, squid rings, and smoked coley) - another dish filled with seafood. They don't skimp out here! I could have done without the squid rings (they tasted rubber-bandy, like they're from frozen), and the smoked coley. I'm not a huge fan of smoked foods. I didn't really taste it in the chowder - maybe the cream covered it up, but I was able to taste it more in the paella -Whiskey Scallops (cooked in whiskey butter) - very rich but the scallops were good. You definitely want to dip some of the brown bread in this sauce There were so many other dishes we wanted to try but we had to stop ourselves from ordering too much for two people. Overall, it was a great meal and at these prices for seafood?! You really can't beat it.

I ordered…read moresoup for 4.95 and a sushi starter for 7.95 and was fully satisfied for only 13 euro, since they give bread too. My friends ordered risotto, which looked really good but the serving was quite large so they ended up taking half home. The menu is pretty diverse, from a huge list of entrees, burgers, mains like salmon, chicken dishes, stew etc., a burger menu and finally dessert! I wouldn't say cheap but not expensive either. We all paid about 13~16 each for dinner. The atmosphere is pretty classy and romantic with the dim lights, red chairs and candles, so it's quite formal dress. There's also a bar and a good cocktail and drinks menu. The service was excellent. The girl tending to us was really attentive and checked up on us ever so often. By the way, we came on a Monday evening so it was reeeaaaally quiet, like us and 5 other people. I'm sure it would be more lively on the weekends, which I'd say would be a better time to go. But Drogheda is pretty small and quiet in general. Overall, nice atmosphere, good service and affordable.

We will give The Monasterboice Inn the benefit of the doubt…read more. My wife, daughter and I went there for the first time between Christmas and the new year . We had previously booked so did not have to wait long for a table. Staff were very pleasant order was placed for drinks and the meal. Buffalo wings were superb and then everything went south. The quality of the steaks was not great. We had purchased steaks from the Centra in Tullyallen the previous week and the quality of the meat in the Monasterboice Inn was nowhere near as good. I ordered a medium rare steak and my wife ordered a medium steak... My wife's steak came and it was rare ... there was blood on the plate. She should have sent it back but didn't.. Our fault... The waitress was excellent, she saw my wife had hardly touched her steak and without prompting her, she deducted the steak from the bill. So for service 10/10 ... for the quality of the meal 4/10. It could have been an off day for the chef ... so I might give them another try on my own before I take guests there again.

I thought the creamy oysters took the cake. Pro tip: come during Happy Hour and get a euro off each oyster!
