## The House Restaurant: A culinary gem in the heart of historic Howth village

The House Restaurant is a haven for discerning diners . Housed in a historic building that once served as the home of the infamous Captain Bligh, The House has been lovingly transformed into a warm and inviting space, where modern Irish cuisine & warm hospitality takes center stage.

Went for drinks during the day a couple of times and found it great. Staff very good and prices reasonable. Went back for dinner - the burgers were very nice, fish and chips reasonable but sadly the roast beef was not great but we were satisfied with the action taken by the very professional member of staff. Yes, I would go back if in the area.

About the restaurant

Authentic Wood-Fired Pizza
We use a traditional wood-fired pizza oven (handmade in Italy - shipped to Skerries) to achieve the flavor's that only a woodfire oven can achieve...the result? The perfect crust, a slightly smoky aroma and crispier toppings that taste incredible. It's the authentic Neapolitan way!
