Description

An experienced couple run this friendly bistro located in a pleasant spot on Howth seafront; start with a drink in the ground-floor bar before heading up to the bistro-style dining room. Irish ingredients are the bedrock of the menu, including Boyne Valley cheeses, Winetavern Farm pork from Wicklow and plenty of seafood from the harbour just over the road. This produce is fashioned into fresh, flavoursome dishes that are carefully cooked and neatly presented. Stick around for dessert, as it’s likely to be a highlight.

Review summary

Mamó is a contemporary restaurant in Howth known for its elegant setting and creative menu. Most reviewers praise the high food quality, highlighting dishes like cod chips, rabbit strozzapretti, and seafood such as kingfish and hake. Service is generally described as friendly and professional, with some noting complimentary champagne. The ambiance is refined, offering views of the marina or sea, and it is conveniently located near the train station. However, negative feedback points to inconsistent meal pacing, bland or poorly cooked mains, small portions, and mediocre wine value. While many consider it a top-tier dining experience, others found the food underwhelming relative to expectations.

Suitable for diners seeking refined modern cuisine and sea views, though booking during off-peak hours may ensure more consistent service.
