"We went into the Moorings and sat beside the fire.
Two sea-food baskets - one for Susie and one for Mary -
crumbed sole and chips for Noelle and fresh grilled mackerel
for me were all just perfect. Not only was I warm and dry,
but here was mackerel just out of the sea and on my plate.
The freshness and simple but expert preparation of these
dishes was a delight. It even made our conversation stop
briefly as we put our noses to the trough. Maybe you have
to be outside the capital to get value like this but places
like the Moorings can only help our tourism industry."
Paolo Tullio, Restaurant Review, Weekend Irish Independent,

With the ocean's bounty at our doorstep, it comes as no
surprise that seafood plays a large part in The Moorings
cuisine. Our menu is rich and varied. From the very freshest
fish and shellfish, to the choicest Irish beef and locally-produced
vegetables and ingredients, a Moorings meal is an authentic
Irish dining experience.
The candlelit interior and traditional
stone walls entice you to linger over your meal as you study
the unusual memorabilia from seafarers of old. Ships
wheels, lobster pots, fishing nets and trusty old barometers
are just some of the unique antiques which decorate the
Moorings, giving it a unique sense of time and place. Food
is never rushed, nor is its enjoyment.
