King Sitric Fish Restaurant & Accommodation

Named after an 11th century Norse King of Dublin who had close links with Howth and was a cousin of the legendary Brian Boru, Aidan and Joan MacManus’ striking harbourside establishment is one of Dublin’s longest established fine dining restaurants and makes a lovely venue for an intimate wedding.

There are several churches nearby (the Church of Ireland in Howth is especially attractive, and the Catholic church is within walking distance of the restaurant) and wedding blessings can be arranged here. Drinks are offered in the ground floor reception area (which includes a special tasting room ‘cellar’ bar) and the meal is served in the bright and airy first floor restaurant, which takes full advantage of the sea and harbour views.

There are other options but seafood is the preferred choice here, of course - specialities include a luscious red velvet crab bisque - and Aidan MacManus oversees one of the country’s finest wine lists - even the house wine, Pinot Blanc Cuvee Les Amours Hugel (a special reserve for the King Sitric) is outstanding for both quality and value, and a perfect match for his delicious fish cooking.

No wedding planning service is offered, and it is the couple’s responsibility to decorate the venue but a piper or other special welcome can be arranged on request, and candles (but not flowers) are provided on tables.
