Cavistons definitely offers the best seafood in the entire Dublin area. You can always expect the freshest and most delicious seafood prepared in a simple but RIGHT way. It is simply how a seafood restaurant should be. Menu is not extensive and there are only seafood options on the menu, but as already said it is just delicious. Every main... More

Had a meeting up with old school friends here three weeks ago. My sister from the US was with me.She was desperate for some Plaice, as it is not available over there. It was not on the menu the day we visited, but they were kind enough to go into their own fish shop next door and get some for... More

This is the best seafood by far we have ever eaten and coming from Boston, USA that speaks volumes since we are a sea coast state. Short ride on the DART from Dublin- well worth it.

Out in Sandycove and popped into Cavistons for lunch. I hadn't booked and was very lucky to get the last table. We were greeted by a lovely lady who showed us to our table. I had fabulous crab claws in garlic butter and my wife had scallops both were fantastic. We then dined on tuna for me and prawns for... More

We took DART to Dalkey and enjoyed a lovely lunch of the best oysters we had tasted during our visit to Dublin. Smoked salmon was also delicious. We avoid fried and sauced seafood so Cavistons was our "destination" restaurant.

Highly recommend a meal here. We had the 2 courses for €18.95 This turned out to be really good value! The fantastic Deli next door (open till 7pm) supplies the restaurant with fresh food which is beautifully cooked. The fish was delicious, cooked to perfection, the baby potatoes (from France, as the Irish ones aren't ready yet) were lovely. The... More
