"One of Dublin’s quintessential neighborhoods and a must for visitors, Howth is a charming fishing village and well-heeled residential suburb on the north side of Dublin Bay, known for the seafood restaurants lining its small working harbor. Mamó is an affectionate term for grandmother in the Irish language, and this small restaurant feels like a warm embrace as soon as you walk in. The food here is a spin on contemporary Irish fare—even the cod chip from the nibbles section of the menu is a clever culinary nod to the restaurant’s location. Work up an appetite on the panoramic trail around Howth Head before lunch (there’s a shorter menu in the ground-floor bar) or look out over the twinkling lights of the harbor at night from the first-floor dining room." - Aoife O'Riordain
