THE BATHS €€€
An all-glass restaurant with seafood and rotisserie chicken. Gorgeous terrace views overlooking the newly renovated Clontarf baths. You can also see Clontarf bay and Dublin's skyline further out. Most Insta users will revel in the fact that the seats are made of reclaimed bathtubs. They also sometimes open the baths area, so you can go for a dip after. It's a bit of a trek from Portobello, but you could still make a trip of it and visit the nearby Bull Island. Otherwise, do a lunch at The Baths before heading onto Howth for sightseeing and dinner later.
