Skerries

About the restaurant

Everything at 5Rock starts with fire. On Skerries harbour, we cook hand selected Irish meats and locally landed seafood in our wood-burning oven and over an open fire grill, local produce is at the centre of our experience.
Pair it with one of our cocktails or something from our carefully chosen wine list, in the dining room or our outdoor area. Our space is defined by our open fire kitchen, with amazing counter seats, a world class bar and an even better view of Skerries harbour.

Wonderful afternoon made possible by the amazing team at GFP Swords- lunch turned into nearly three hours of a long overdue catch up with friends in the parlour of the restaurant. This spot works well for my hearing impaired friend and all four of us were delighted with the food and outstanding service. Thank you to Caitlin and her team 🎉

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!

The food was gorgeous! The only negative comment would be the BBQ wings I could take or leave the BBQ sauce it’s very sweet and wouldn’t be my first choice again, the spicy are fab I’ve had them on a different visit. The el Diablo pizza is 10/10 and the sweet potato fries are very tasty. Service is always 10/10 they’re on top of everything

About the restaurant

Ribeye Steakhouse, the only dedicated steakhouse in Malahide where passion for beef meets uncompromising quality. We focus on Irish-bred cattle and sustainably sourced stock from rare-breed herds, traceable from farm to fork, with a minimum of 60% genetic thoroughbreds. For us, a truly great steak starts long before it reaches the grill – it begins with expert breeding, careful ageing, and a meticulous eye for quality. Every cut is chosen for its consistency in size, rich colour, perfect fat retention, and exceptional marbling, delivering the premium flavour and tenderness you expect from a top-class steakhouse.

Had a lovely Sunday lunch here. Made a booking at short notice and we’d two lovely adult meals and our toddler loved his kids pasta. Good service and great food. The Sunday Roast was delicious and my wife had the sea bass with oysters and it was also top notch. The duck wing starters were also a hit!
