We have eaten in the Greedy Goose Malahide on a few occasions and each time it has been a wonderful experience. The menu is a tasting menu, and for those of us who like variety of tastes it's excellent. They are small portions with 3/4 options. The presentation and variety of food very good and very reasonably priced. The setting... More

Have been to the Goose a number of times as choice in a small town can be limited, great location but food is average at best and certainly not fresh which considering the proximity of good suppliers (especially fish mongers in Howth) is a genuine shame. Also if something is advertised on the menu as being suitable for coleacs then... More

Caroline and her staff are really, really good. A tasting menu approach - you'll get several small plates for your meal. Definitely not your traditional Irish meal.

An unusual concept of a meal consisting of several starter size courses. Restaurant is small and upstairs. There are too many tables and this makes it feel a little cramped. We each had three courses and these ranged from very good to just OK. Service was friendly and efficient. There were several couples enjoying a meal when we arrived but... More

Mmmmmmm. not sure what to say with regards to our meal here. Saturday night the place was packed - it is small but it is without doubt the noisiest restaurant I have ever encountered. everyone was talking at the same time it seemed. We were advised by staff to select 3 dishes each - two would have sufficed to leave... More

The concept of tasting menus is probably lost on many but ordering starter sized portions of many different items is really up my street. I love to taste many things and try new things without the risk, this gives ou that. Add in the reasonably priced house wine and you are on to a winner. Have been back a number... More

Good food but portions were tiny. In GG restaurant, you choose 3 items from the menu. One of my choices was tandoori chicken; the actual amount of chicken was three spoonful-sized pieces of chicken. Nice and well-presented but it would equate to a small starter in most restaurants. Another was mackerel; again the size of the piece of mackerel was... More

Love the concept of this quietly elegant, yet unpretentious, restaurant. My initial welcome wasn't initially the friendliest but the staff soon warmed up and became more chatty. They explained the menu which, to be honest, was very clear anyway but the effort was appreciated. I had the cod fish cakes with leek and bacon fondue (delicious but found the seasoning... More

Had a meal here on Easter Monday. Lots of choices for vegetarians and food delicious. Lovely surroundings and each dish was very different and beautifully presented. We started with tomato soup which was a generous portion and very different flavour. The desserts in particular are not to be missed. Will definitely be back.
