On January 28th, I went on a self-guided tour of Dublin. I found this hotel for my first meal after landing. As I did not make a reservation in advance, I could only have a small table at the door. Fortunately, the waitress changed the table for me. I ordered a seafood platter. Except for the caviar which was average in taste, everything else was delicious. The spaghetti was superb. The soup was the most recommended. It was a very good dinner.

A great seafood restaurant in Dublin. I ordered cheese baked lobster and salt and pepper mussels. The Baileys coffee was good. Baileys was added to the coffee. It was my first time to drink it and it tasted good without any smell of alcohol.

For my last meal in Ireland, I chose this old seafood restaurant. I booked a seat at 8:30, but I was back in the city before 7 o'clock. I walked over in advance and there was a seat. I ordered half a dozen oysters from the North Coast and West Coast. The West Coast oysters were plump and small, while the North Coast oysters were bigger, but slightly less fresh and sweet. Mr. Wang's main dish was crab claws, which was very good. It was rare that it was not salty. The soup was super fresh and perfect for dipping in fried bread slices. My catch of the day was cod, served with rosemary and sweet peas. The cooking was good, but the fish was average. It was hake with a relatively dry meat, not cod, which I wanted to taste better. The waitresses were all very sweet, and the wine list was also very nice.

Galway oysters should be wild oysters from Galway, Ireland. They are not big but sweet. They cost 28.5 euros per dozen, which is slightly more expensive than ordinary oysters at 25 euros. Wild crabs are available in the sandwich and salad area. The cooking method seems similar. The crab shell is filled with salad mixed with crab meat. Occasionally there are crab legs and shells. Be careful not to break your teeth when eating. The vegetable soup is good. It is crushed into a paste in a traditional European food processor. It is hot, so eat it slowly.

This legendary seafood restaurant with a high cost-effectiveness is a must-visit in our plan. We actually came twice. Perhaps only light seafood here can resonate with us, the picky Chinese diners! It is really a restaurant worth visiting. The environment is great, the quality and taste of the dishes are good, especially the free bread. Half of the reason for the second visit was for the bread! And the service attitude is super good! I really doubt whether the waiter is the boss. The enthusiasm is great! The seafood platter is highly recommended!

I searched for reviews and found this restaurant. It is good. Many people have eaten there. It is very popular. You may have to queue up during peak meal times. Because it was already late when we arrived in Dublin, we chose to go there after the peak meal time. When we arrived at the restaurant, there were still many people, but fortunately there was no queue and there was a seat. We ordered oysters, steamed seafood, salad, etc. The taste was good and delicious, except that the taste was a bit salty; the oysters were not big, much smaller than those in China; I wanted to order another seafood platter, but it was not available, saying that some seafood was not in season. Overall, it was not bad.
