Halal Restaurants

• Bizou Meatmarket Lane - Has a good selection of lunches. Quaintly serving pints of milk with a menu that includes bacon and cabbage and some Pastas and fish dishes.

• Salty House in town, on the quays - Great host, Justin is a bit of craic actually. The rest of the waitresses are a nice bunch, well it depends on the night really. Good atmosphere, food is alright, nothing mad spectacular but fair. Kangaroo Steaks (a wee bit tough), crocodile Meat, crepes (they need to get a proper recipe from a proper french chef), etc... Wine list is fair but not great quality! One of the best place in town nonetheless.

• The Tower on top of town, where the Martello tower is - Great view if you are lucky to get the right seat. Food is fair, very very very well seasoned (easy on the salt, shallots, etc chef). Recommended!

• Eastern Seaboard 53.708761, -6.335785 - A good place too even though getting worse by the month as they do good business. Great value for lunch or dinner but it used to be better (quality vs. quantity vs. service). Still a great spot even though a wee bit noisy and always busy.

• Brown Hound Bakery 53.70838, -6.336558 - A posh spot to have tea and coffee with fresh baked cakes. It is a lovely place to hook up with friends but it is not baby or kids friendly at all (no changing facility, cakes at the height of a 18 months old to poke freely and at will...) There is one fish shop in the main street which sells lovely fresh expensive seafood. What a pity to pay over €4 for a bag of mussels when it is €2 in posh Howth.
