An excellent small plates restaurant in Malahide, The Greedy Goose is worth the trip from Dublin all by itself (but sure, enjoy the coast, the marina, and the castle while you're here). I knew I was going to be very happy from the first taste of the chef's choice appetizer this evening -- sweet onion, potato, and smoked lamb soup. It was amazing -- creamy, smooth, slightly sweet from the onion and just a hint of the smoky meat. From there the meal went from highlight to highlight, with each dish my favorite. From the soy, ginger and sesame tuna tostada to the warm goat cheese with hazelnut and honey, to the beautiful cider glazed pork belly. They have an excellent selection of small plates as well as a 3-course tasting menu (which comes with the chef's choice appetizer mentioned above). read more
