Seapoint


Enjoying the party were: 1. Johnny and Debbie Cooke; 2. Catriona Hanly and Triona McCarthy; 3. Justine Luyks and Dave O’Driscoll.


Seapoint is surely one of the finest restaurants to open in Monkstown in many a year. Those in the know are aware that the area is about to rediscover the reputation for fine dining it enjoyed in past times and Seapoint café, bar and restaurant is setting the trend. The new bistro located in the heart of Monkstown offers some amazing variety for local foodies.

Last week Shane Kenny and chef du jour Nick Clapham launched the new venture with an evening of cocktails, crisp wines and equally tantalizing canapés. The place was heaving with a mix of local foodies, politicians, business people and socialites enjoying what this little gem has to offer…

Among the crowd hosted by Shane Kenny and his wife Audrey and Nick and Margaret Clapham were David and Siobhan Harvey, Michael and Maureen Heffernan, Ryan Tubridy, Michelin starred chef Derry Clarke and his charming wife Sallyanne, Barrister Barney Quirke, rugby player Paul Wallace and Triona McCarthy, Norma Smurfit, Peter Devlin and Lorraine Keane.

Seapoint is the ideal spot for an early evening dinner after a relaxing walk on the pier, great for a girls night out or a romantic meal for two. The perfect location, great menu and ambience are certain to make Seapoint the new talking point in (Monks)town.
