I will start this review to say that I have lived in all the big cities around the world and eaten in thousands of exclusive restaurants and coming from Sydney, I know my seafood. We recently dropped into Ivans when staying at the 4 Seasons Hotel in Dublin and will say we were taken back by the superb quality and... More

We had a good lunch in Ivans a few months back and returned yesterday. Service was decent, calamari appetiser was ok, but the main courses we ordered were miniscule, I should have taken a picture, it was a joke, and a day later I feel ripped off enough to post this review. My crab salad was no such thing, just... More

We ate here on the may bank holiday Monday. We arrived just after lunch time and the restaurant wasn't overly busy. The restaurant itself is laid out really well with booths and tables. The menu is very good and had a great selection. We had the chowder which was really good and ordered the seafood platter for two. While waiting... More

My partner and I have visited Howth twice before and invited my parents and sisters to join us at The Dublin Bay Prawn Festival. Ivan's has always stood out in Howth as serving very high quality, tasty seafood. We decided on a selection of tapas dishes during lunchtime service. The crab claws were a stand out favourite for us all... More

Was out in Howth only twenty minutes from Connolly Station in the Centre of Dublin. Walked both piers to build up an appetite. Arrived around 16.00, seated at the bar. My nephew had the Monkfish with Parma ham and the Fish and chips and I had the calamari and the scalls, not cheap by any means but value for money,.good... More

Had lunch in Ivan's on bank holiday Monday and was surprised that there was only about 4 tables having lunch. This was good for us as we were seated and served very quickly! I had the crab cakes for starter, best I've ever had! My partner had the chowder for starter which was amazing. We both had the haddock and... More

It is certainly not the cheapest lunch I ever had, but probably the tastiest seafood of my life I got here. Seafood chowder was amazing, squid and mussels were also perfect and fresh. Staff was also friendly enough and we didn't have to wait for long to be seated/served. Will definitely return.

We have lived in the Howth area for over a year and Ivan's is our "go to" place..we can always get a table, and even with staff turnover, enjoy the food and excellent service. You can see the fishing boat that just brought in your catch of the day outside the window, winelist needs updating but staff tries hard to... More

There are cheaper restaurants in Howth , but for quality, ambience and service you will not better Ivans . The Lemon sole is probably the best in Dublin
