After a nice wander around the Dun Laoghaire Sunday Market, we popped in here for lunch last Sunday and had a lovely experience. The seafood was fresh and beautifully cooked, the service was warm and friendly, and the views over the sea were fantastic. The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere and tasteful décor. We had a great afternoon and will definitely be back. Highly recommend!

AtmosphereSeafoodFriendly staffViews & locationTasty food
The seafood platter jumped off our menu and onto our table! An absolute delight from presentation right through to each fresh and tasty morsel. We ordered a side of spinach and blackrice- new to us, glad we tried it, really nourishing. Plenty in the platter for two. Oh and we had a Seaview upstairs, which elevated our lunch.
Had a wonderful lunch at Cavistons Restaurant. I had mixed fish, and it was absolutely delicious, fresh, and full of flavour. The staff were very welcoming and made us feel comfortable from the moment we arrived. The atmosphere was amazing, warm and relaxing, and the view from upstairs was gorgeous. Definitely a place worth visiting in Dublin!
