It boasts being recognized in the top 100 restaurants by the New York Sunday Times and is in the Michelin guide. Quite possibly one of the most cozy, welcoming places one could find off the beaten path in Ireland. Gorgeous, old-world interior with wood stoves and fireplaces in every room, deep padded armchairs you can lose yourself in. Sink into one of these, accompanied by an excellent cup of tea, crusty buttery croissant with fresh made grass-fed cow cream and admire tons of fun little Tchotchkes and handmade crafts, many of which are for sale. Attentive and smiley staff to boot. A pleasant repaste for a lazy weekend morning!

We stopped in here by chance while passing through Roundwood yesterday. What a fantastic place!!…read more Roan, the chief bartender, brings passion and creativity to his cocktails. I came in thirsting wildly for a Guinness, but when I saw him meticulously preparing a Whiskey Sour with his own special touches, I pivoted to that. Just like my wife's "White Linen", we could not have been happier with our cocktails! Also, it just so happened that Wednesdays are "Pizza Night" so we went to the pizzeria/mini grocer connected to The Coach House and ordered our fresh, delicious, pizzas that were delivered to us back at the bar. The Coach House has several different eating rooms, each with its own look and feel. We were very comfortable just eating at the bar and picking Roan's brain for his secret cocktail recipes!!

The dark wood table tops and cast iron bases just make me feel grounded. One of the hosts asked if I had a reservation, and I was almost sad because I didn't expect it. She was kind enough to seat me anyway. I don't know her name, but she was lovely, golden hair, and bright green glasses! I was served by Avinash, who had a warm demeanor. My phone was about 20% and he kindly let me charge it; hence why I do not have any photos of the meal :) at the end of the meal, when I asked for an espresso, Avi came back with my phone as well-- a nice touch of remembrance. I had the slow cooked lamb leg, with potatoes, carrots, and rosemary stuffing with a balsamic mint sauce. It was divine. It was my first meal of the day, and I savored every last bite. The atmosphere was just what I needed. 5/5 would return. And did yall know they got first editions of Bam Stoker, Oscar Wilde, and James Joyce??? Sheeesh.

But i have to admit HANDS DOWN this is my favorite place in the world to eat fish and chips. The twin husband and wife team that run this restaurant are extremely friendly and welcoming people. Its a small place that has several sit down tables to dine in. The fish and chips is one you have to try for yourself but for me its a place i crave al year long and a must visit spot when i return to Ireland. If you ever find yourself in the area please visit pipers and when done take a quick stroll next door and have a few pints at The Brooke Irish Pub.

Pricey enough at €8.50 but the price was worth it. You get two battered fish pieces and a helping of chips, all tucked into a paper recyclable tray. The chips were good, had a unique taste to them can't figure it out but was nice. The fish pieces well they just melted in your mouth. It really is their speciality. on display is a few live crabs which I presume are on the menu for anyone who wants to try, maybe next time I might :) Only downside is it's a take away only (of course since it's located on a trailer on the pier) and with that if its cold or rainy you'll be queuing up and eating in the bad weather. Still if you are out walking it's going to be good enough weather It can also get very busy as there is a lot of walkers around that area And parking is limited in the area but you may find a space in front of the nearby yacht club.

Unfortunately, I can't give a review for the food at this establishment because we were turned away…read moreat the door. We arrived around 45 minutes before their posted closing time. We were staying at the Haddington House Hotel, just an eight minute walk from the restaurant, and when we arrived, we waited at the front to be seated as a sign at the door requested. A young man indicated that he'd be back in just a moment to seat us, or so we thought. . However, when he returned he said "Oh, I'm so sorry but we're not seating anyone else for dinner, but you can take away food." Needless to say, we declined that offer. Why would we wait for them to cook food for us to take away, when we could also be seated in the restaurant and eat that same food? That made no sense. The restaurant was full but there was an empty table for two at the front, and another party was paying their bill and preparing to leave. We had seen from reviews that the place is popular and gets good reviews, but didn't expect we'd be told we couldn't be seated, . After regrouping, we decided to take our business to Bubba's Fish. Market in Dalkey,. Just three stops away on the Dart. Their Google listing indicated that their kitchen closes at 9 pm. By the time we got going, it was already a little after 8 pm, but we hopped on the train and got there by 8:25. Instead of being turned away, we were greeted at the door by the hostess and told we could sit wherever we'd like. Such a different reception, and we had a fabulous meal. Our experience at The Fish Shack was inexplicable and disappointing to say the least, but God turned it around for good because we had a wonderful experience, at a welcoming place at Bubba's! Who knows if we'll ever make it back to Ireland again, but if we do, we'll never go back to the Fish Shack again.
