Gourmet Food Parlour - Malahide Coast Road, Malahide, County Dublin

"Great location, kind and friendly staff, awesome food presented well and kind on the pocket. All in all a great brunch place for a friends or family. Good to book the table in advance as the place is packed on weekends (rightly so - who wouldn’t like a good fine dine cost-effective brunch)"

"I went this Sunday for brunch, with my husband and daughter to this restaurant, which was highly recommended by friends. Right at the entrance Shelly told us that we couldn't eat there as we didn't have a reservation. I understood, but we returned and asked her again if there was any chance we could get a seat and eat, as we were already there, and I counted 9 tables available, and several people leaving, and no one coming (it was 2:30pm), but even so, she said it would be impossible! She was pretty rude by the way. We were very upset about this, as it was clear that there were tables available, and she wouldn't let us enjoy our brunch, and experience in this beautiful restaurant. We finally decided to order take away, and William and another girl with him were amazing! Glad we decided to try the food because it was wonderfully delicious!! Just an observation: we ate outside the restaurant, and when we finished, we noticed that there were still several tables available, and that in fact she really didn't want to give us a table. We were very disappointed…"

"Food with a View... This is a very spacious and scenic location with a wide range of delicious wholesome food. I ordered the Turkey Ruben with a cup of soup. I'd be lying if I said I didn't regret getting something different but it was still nice. Staff were very friendly and food arrived to the table very quickly considering how busy it was. If I was to say one negative thing about the place is that it was far too noisy for such a peaceful looking location but that's just a personal thing. Will come back when it is a bit quieter next time. Thank you."

"Bit disappointed with this one. Came because of the reviews and some friends recommendations. Very slow customer service, even though, place was half empty. Waited almost an hour to get our food. Even coffee we had to ask a staff member to please bring it as it was getting cold. Our food was warmed up in the microwave. We wanted to order dessert but gave up as everything took too long. Staff seems busy with whatever their tasks were but poor attention to customers. Table was never cleared. Food had no wow factor. At this price is not worth it, maybe breakfast would be better here."
