Ella
Aoife Healy's chic little restaurant and wine bar is in the centre of Howth village, just across from the Baily Hotel, and it has a loyal following of local diners who enjoy the relaxed, intimate atmosphere, consistently good cooking and very obliging staff who always want to be sure that everyone is enjoying their meal to the full.
Although plenty of seafood is offered (and seafood cooking is accomplished) Ella offers a good range of other foods - perhaps more so than other restaurants in the area; Pork Fillet wrapped in Prosciutto, with Calvados jus is a typically tempting speciality.
Cooking is kept pleasingly simple and there's an emphasis on fresh local foods, with suppliers credited on the menu of (fish and seafood from Dorans on the west pier in Howth, and meats and poultry are from Ray Collier butchers, just a couple of doors away, and guaranteed Irish).
Long opening hours make this a great neighbourhood restaurant, and the express lunch menu offers especially good value.
