IRELAND 🇮🇪 Japanese Cuisine with a View of the Sea

Daruma has opened its second branch in Malahide! The atmosphere inside the restaurant is fantastic, making it perfect for dates or special occasions. There are tables both indoors and outdoors, and the outdoor area even has heaters. 🔥 The fried squid in photo 5️⃣ is super fresh and delicious—being close to the sea really makes a difference with the seafood quality! The Wagyu sushi in photo 2️⃣ is pretty average; I think the grilled Wagyu is a better choice. The assorted platter in photo 1️⃣ is a great way to sample different types of sashimi. 🍣 Overall: The sashimi and meat are both fresh and delicious, and you can tell they’re using high-quality ingredients. But the sushi rice is pretty plain, which kind of brings down the overall taste. 🍙 However, the service and ambiance are top-notch, and I’ve included the menu for your reference. If you’re in the area, it’s worth a try. After your meal, take a short walk to the sea to digest, and enjoy the lively main street, especially on weekends! 🌊 📍 The Diamond, 1 New St, Malahide, Co.
