My husband had the lobster , I had the steak � everything was beautifully presented and tasted even better � staff were wonderful and the view was amazing ... highly recommend.
We had the most incredible meal on Saturday. The atmosphere was fantastic. The staff were perfect not too attentive but there when you needed. The fish was sublime ultra fresh. I cannot reccomend this place highly enough. Absolutely grand. Thank you Aqua
Had dinner here recently. Food was really excellent. Hake main course was exceptional. Also manage to just catch the sunset which was amazing given the great views. Well worth a visit

There is SO MUCH choice for food in Howth… everywhere you look there’s another gorgeous little place to tempt you in. I may be like a parrot repeating myself here but if you are a pizza fan you have GOT to try Il Panorama Cafe… the best pizza I’ve had in Dublin. But for years I had seen Aqua at the end of the West Pier and wanted to try it… so this was our chosen spot. Given that it was lunchtime, we probably should have thought to make a reservation but luckily enough got a seat anyway. With views right out over the water, you can see why it’s a popular choice.
We took our seats and started off with some bread and a glass of Sauvignon … the sea air must have made me hungry :-) The lunchtime deal offers two courses for €23.95 and had a pretty decent choice of meat, fish and a veg option. We went for a starter, mains each and shared a dessert.
The Ceaser salad was fresh and light, and with my chilled white wine it went down a treat! Mains were both excellent… the chicken requested with chips instead of wedges was soft and juicy with some gorgeous chunky chips. And my Aubergine Parmigiana was absolutely delicious.
Dessert choices were Chocolate Raspberry Tart, Crème Brûlée or Irish Strawberries with cream…. the Crème Brûlée won out and we weren’t disappointed. Nice and crisp on the top with perfectly smooth set custard beneath and a zingy raspberry sorbet served alongside. It was the perfect finish to the meal.
After a really good lunch we left, unsurprisingly walking out through a full to the brim restaurant. Aqua is the perfect spot in Howth if you fancy something just that bit more special to round off your visit – just gorgeous!
I visited here after reading a recent good review having not been for about 10 years! On arrival at 6pm on a Monday night, we were asked to wait for a table (the restaurant was basically empty) and then told that we would have to vacate the table by 7.30. The restaurant itself is in a fabulous location with an unrivalled view, absolutely beautiful.
We had the early bird which was a good price at €23 for 2 courses. I was a little disappointed seeing only 2 fish dishes on the main course menu (with it being a seafood restaurant), one of these being fish and chips which I wouldn't usually order. I had the half lobster for starter (€9 surcharge) and sea trout for main. The lobster was served cold which I found a little strange and not showcased as best it could be. My main was quite disappointing- I didn't really enjoy the sea trout and found it quite bland. My dad had the fish and chips which was better than mine, the chips were delicious. The meal for 2 including half bottle of wine and espresso came to €103. Overall quite a disappointing experience and I wouldn't be rushing back when there are plenty of great restaurants nearby.
Aqua is renowned for its views especially in summer it boasts some of the best views in Dublin.
The service in Aqua is excellent the staff are very welcoming and there is a lovely bar area where you can have pre dinner drinks if you wish.
The food in Aqua is Amazing. I have eaten here many many times and each time it has been Delicious.
I would definitely recommend Aqua.
The food here is top notch. A little pricey for a student so it's generally reserved for special occasions but there is an early bird menu that never fails to provide really good quality food and flavour. The staff are really well trained and friendly. However it's the panoramic view of the sea that sets this place apart.
