Great family lunch at Al Greco in Malahide. We were 4 adults and 2 kids and had a very good experience.
Friendly and attentive staff, quick service, and a cosy atmosphere. The restaurant is small but comfortable and perfect for families.
The food was very tasty. We had Caesar salads, kids’ meals (penne pasta and breaded chicken), and main dishes — everything well prepared. Portions are not big but good enough.
Prices are reasonable for Malahide (kids’ meals ~€10, mains ~€15, drinks slightly higher).
Overall, a great place for a family meal in Malahide. Highly recommended.
