  <RestaurantDetails>Cafe Provence - 1 Church Road, Malahide - 01 845 07 19 - cafeprovencemalahide@gmail.com - Sun - Thurs 9am - 9pm, Fri &amp; Sat 8.30 - 23.00 Early Bird served all night Sunday - Thursday 5pm - 7pm Friday and Saturday - Cafe Provence is situated in the heart of Malahide village, North county Dublin. We open early every morning right through until 9:00pm at night (11pm weekends). During the day, it is a great place to have breakfast, a delicious lunch or a coffee &amp; scone. It is by far the most popular choice in Malahide for daytime dining. Much of our success is due to serving a wide range of delicious home-cooked food and meals as opposed to just sandwiches. We also have some tasty blackboard specials each day for extra variety.

At 5pm we offer an a la carte menu which is quite different from the daytime menu. There is a nice selection of dishes including fresh seafood, steaks, duck, lamb, chicken, pasta and risotto. We also offer an early bird menu all night from Sunday – Thursday and Friday - Saturday from 5pm – 7pm, which is superb value (2 courses for €16.95).

Our restaurant has a capacity of approximately 50 people. It is a popular venue for weddings, christenings, birthdays and other special occasions. Special set menus are available for large parties, which offer great value.

We have recently introduced our party nights with live music and food which have been a great success so far.
 
Our chefs and floor staff are highly motivated, and dedicated to ensuring that you have a delicious meal and a really pleasant dining experience. We look forward and welcome you to the next time you dine with us.

 - A group of 8 friends went here last sat what a lovely  cafe very quaint and homely maybe a tad small for groups of people but we managed :-)
The service was prompt, reliable and even though it was a busy saturday night the staff were  helpful and professional. The food was delicious and there was a good selection to choose from and the biggest plus was there was no restrictions on the menu we could choose any starter,main, dessert and tea/coffee all for 40 euros for two people :-)  :-).
I'd recomend this place for couples as I found it very intimate and romantic.
Both my hubbie and I are going back again this weekend as we were certainly impressed with the food and presentation.
If I was to make one critisim it would be to change carpet on stairs leading to toilets as I found this 
to be smelly and that was a surprise as the restaurant itself is brill :-(</RestaurantDetails>

    <comment>Made a late booking for 8:00 of a Saturday evening and have to say glad we did.  Staff were extremely courteous, friendly and willing to engage and talk to you.  We had 2 bruschetta, a soup and a chicken wings to start and all were a resounding success.  For mains we had 3 fish and one fajitas, again no complaints and I like the fact that when fajitas were delivered further tortillas were offered.  Dessert was probably the least successful dish but yet there was nothing wrong it it, it's just that most of the options seemed to be a kind of cake/tart and if you weren't interested in that then you would be disappointed.  Anyway I had a "class of a sponge" which was very nice.  Only disappointing bit was that it wasn't very busy which is a shame.  Anyway a great meal, helped by great staff</comment>

    <comment>My husband and I love Cafe Provence. The staff are so friendly and they are very reasonably priced. We've never been disappointed no matter what we order. The chicken &amp; bacon Caesar salad is especially nice and so is the steak. The portions are big and the restaurant has paintings by local artists.</comment>

    <comment>This is a nice enough place to visit at night time for the a la carte menu. It is quite different during the day with a different all day menu and is usually very busy. But the night time menu is very nice also. There is a good range of seafood / meat / vegetarian dishes. I tried the fajitas and they were very nice, perfectly spiced and full of flavour. It's not a huge dining room, so as long as you have a few people in it, the atmosphere will be good. The service was polite and attentitive. In terms of price it is relatively cheap compared to other restaurants in the area. The dishes are of a reasonably high standard so it is very good value overall. But if you want very good value I would recommend trying their early bird menu which is available all night midweek.</comment>

    <comment>I feel I must respond to a previous post regarding the staff and their attitude towards children at this restaurant.

My partner and I always make apoint of eating here at least once during our twice yearly stay in Malahide, and have nothing but the highest praise for the food and service. The manageress never fails to welcome us back each time we return, and the fact that there are always many families with children there on Saturday afternoons is in itself surely testament to the fact that children are indeed welcome.</comment>
