King Sitric

DELICIOUS hot chocolate, I have found the perfect way! It’s inexpensive, and super tasty

Great!!! Grilled lobster (served with fried potatoes and butter) is delicious! Reccomended!
The staff is very kind and friendly. At the end the bill is right for the quality food, 25 euros a lobster.

went with my parents for Sunday lunch, they had some 2 for 1 deal and I decided to go along. they had to eat of the special menu and I had the choice of the normal menu as well.
fantastic choice on both menus defo want to go back to try some other stuff I didn’t try yesterday.
I had pâté to start so did my dad, he loved it I thought it was pretty good, wasn’t mad about the accompaniments but it was fine.
my main was lobster in a butter sauce which was beautifully cooked nicest cooked lobster iv had it ages.
the only let down of the meal was the coffee at the end, the man who made them shouldn’t be aloud within 5 miles of a coffee machine.
all in all can’t wait to go back!

They had a good seafood chowder and fried calamari.

Fail. Here’s why the café we visited will only ever get one off patronage and not business from locals on a sustained basis.
Poor customer service: inattentive staff, sloppily dressed. 4 other guests walked out because they were being ignored. Constantly clattering dishes and cups at the counter. I was ignored when i asked for desert menu because 3 of the staff were too engaged in conversation.
Average Food: lobster salad for 17 euro could really have been a bit more flattering. lobster was tough.

King Sitric is in a prime location at Howth harbour. It has a great terrace out front and inside is a pretty cool restaurant and bar area (although maybe a bit on the small side). There is a more formal area upstairs where the view must be great.
As is to be expected, the menu was mainly fish based, the lobster looked pretty great. However, I wasn’t really happy with my dish. I got the chowder and fishcake, which was beautifully presented like all there dishes. The fishcake was ok, it was mostly potato and I couldn’t see or taste much fish. The chowder was better and had a good selection of fish. However, as chowders go it wasn’t anything special and there was a bit too much potato in it too. The service was very good and the plate of food set me back € 10, which I felt was reasonable. Oh, the Guinness here was really good.

Service with an uneasy smile…
Came here for a quiet dinner with the mam mostly to get away from Dublin City but also for the famous seafood, decided to give it a bash!
We were greeted upstairs by a waiter who later took our order, and was very pleasant to deal with but right after he greeted us another lady came to greet us. Again? Really? She seemed too chatty, no idea why.
View was great! Menu wasn’t really. Nothing special to be honest and not a huge selection. The service on the other hand, was. The waiter was happy enough going through a few things with us and telling me about the specials (that the chatty lady had already mentioned, of course).
Food didn’t take too long which was great and in between we were treated to a free glass of smoothie. But the lady came over once again to tell us we needed to have dinner first before we could have a look at the dessert menu. Found that a little condescending but meh, let it slide and I think she got the hint to leave us alone for the rest of the evening.
The main course did seem fresh and well prepared. The dessert was presented nicer than it actually tasted which was a pity, seemed like a let down at the very end.
Before seeing the bill at the end of the night I would have considered coming back again but when it came to pay I found it hard to justify the price with the food we’d gotten.

Wann immer wir in Dublin sind, gehört mindestens eine Übernachtung in Howth dazu. Unspektakulär von außen, aber mit Blick aufs Meer, vom Restaurant aus und von einigen wenigen Zimmern aus. Tolle Fischküche, spektakulärer Weinkeller und sehr netter Service. Frühmorgens sieht man die Fischkutter aus– und einlaufen. Mit Vorfreude auf ein Essen im King!

This is a great destination place to get away from Dublin congestion. Situated at the end of the pier overlooking the harbor in the fishing village of Howth, the view can’t be beat. There are hotel rooms, which is a new addition that took place with the remodeling of 1999.
Somehow the charm of the old building was lost in the remodeling. The dining room now is a bit too sterile for me; however the food is quite good. Take the black sole on the bone, as you’ll find the meat is sweeter. My dining companions were not as adept as me in handling the fish, so they had theirs’ deboned and it was just not as appetizing to me.
Good wine list to match the food, great views to add to the ambiance.

Le resto le plus connu de Howth, petit village de pêcheur près de Dublin.
Délicieux plats de poisson et fruits de mer.
Assez cher, mais magnifique vue!

weg von dublin, gerade am meer und pier von howth — das ist das king sitric in howth. ein gemütliches fischrestaurant mit einer hervorragenden küche, die man so im alten hafen nicht erwarten würde. fische frisch vom fang, gemüse gerade a point und die sonstigen beilagen einfach nur hervorragend.
aber ein geheimnis, das sich im king sitric versteckt ist der französische weinkeller mit edlen tropfen, die vom besitzer selbst von frankreich hierher transportiert werden.
sicherlicht, das king sitric ist ein bisschen teuer, es ist vielleicht auch glück, ein zimmer mit morgensicht auf das meer zu erhalten. einige zimmer sind gegen den etwas lauteren abend-​ausgang-​teil von howth gerichtet.
aber eben — genussvoll ist es alledem. und das frühstück war für mich eine offenbarung. oder wer hat schon jemals frische zitronensole zu morgen bekommen?
die bewirtung war hervorragend und die bediensteten sehr hilfreich und informativ. auch wenn man nachmittags mit wanderkleidern ankommt und ohne anmeldung…
