Best Fish Restaurant in Howth: Octopussy Tapas is a big favorite among locals and visitors to Howth. Situated on the West Pier, the restaurant’s success has become something of a phenomenon. There are many reasons for the popularity. Fresh locally sourced produce, award winning chefs, amazing servers and stunning views probably have something to do with it.
Octopussy’s seafood is supplied by “Dorans on the Pier”, our own fish shop next door. Dorans is run by three brothers, all fishermen with more than 50 years experience among them. Dorans is supplied by a fleet of fishing boats operating out of Howth. It really doesn’t get any fresher!
Octopussy’s award winning chefs and knowledgeable servers ensure that the food you order is cooked and served by people who love what they do and are as passionate about food as you are! These factors have led to several Certificates of Excellence with TripAdvisor and explain why we are constantly at the top of the rankings.

TESTIMONIALS:
“Ideal place for seafood tapas, worth the one hour drive. hike on the coast, get a good appetite, and then head to Octopussy. get a table outside, the lamps are very warm. The seafood is fresh and cooked to perfection. you will be taken to a Spanish island for next hour.”
“I’ve been in this place many times that the staff already recognize me when I come 😅, and every time, the food has been really good. At first, the tapas looked small, but I found them very filling. The ingredients are fresh and prepared with great quality.
The staff is very friendly, I am giving only 4 stars because I usually had to wait long to get a table, but for me, it has been worth it every time.”
