The best restaurantsof irish in Wicklow

20/07/2025: Cozy, delicious, and peaceful — all in one place! If you’re driving through the village of Hollywood, make sure to stop at Hollywood Cafe. It feels just like visiting your grandmother’s home — warm, welcoming, and full of charm. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, making the experience even more enjoyable. There’s a convenient parking lot right behind the café They serve delicious wood-fired pizza and aromatic coffee — the perfect combo. Sit by the window and enjoy the peaceful view of the rolling hills and sheep grazing nearby. An ideal spot to take a break and relax. Highly recommended!

14/07/2025: Very nice people and the food was simply good.

03/08/2025: The menu was not up to date, expect to pay between 20 and 30 euros for a dish + drink.

27/07/2025: Fab little place at Bray Harbour

21/08/2025: Great bar! Service is always on point!

20/08/2025: First time visiting the Grove Bar, for a family function. Lovely atmosphere, will definitely return

30/07/2025: Great food and service in a local setting.

08/07/2025: I’ve been to hundreds of pubs across Ireland and this one has to be the best Irish pub in the world. The owner is the loveliest person to ever exist, gave me one Irish coffee for free. If you are in Arklow you must come here

17/08/2025: I have been here 3 times. The first 2 were fine, service and food was good. The 3rd time was enough to make me not want to come back ever again. It took an hour and half to get our food. Several tables that came after us got there food, ate and left before we did. After an hour I asked and they said the kitchen is backed up. I understand that, it was a full house when we arrived, but why are other tables that sat down 30 mins after us getting served first. After asking 3 times we finally got our food. The chips were stale and food mediocre. Just admit you put in our order late or the ticket was lost in the kitchen. Don't blame a backup kitchen when you have multiple tables being served food and finishing before we can even get a side of fries. This experience was enough to turn me off from ever going or recommending this place to anyone.

17/08/2025: Lovely stop for a nice meal on the seafront! Food is fantastic, waiters are kind and on the ball

03/08/2025: Coming here 8 years. It never fails with a fantastic atmosphere with extremely friendly service. The food is 2nd to none. Every dish every time keeps me coming back for more. A well worth family treat

03/08/2025: Great restaurant with all types of dishes, a traditional atmosphere and in a crazy valley! The only thing I like is the prices: few dishes are below 20-25 euros.

09/08/2025: Lovely place! Very friendly! All the staff were lovely. Manager Peter couldn't be more helpful 😊 Recommended

07/08/2025: Great food and service! Would definitely recommend the crispy chicken wings and the steaks!!

14/08/2025: I stayed overnight in my camper on the car park, thanks to BritStops for helping me discover this hidden gem. Waking up to the stunning valley views. The pub is lively and welcoming, with a fantastic kitchen. Dinner was absolutely delicious – generous portions, perfectly cooked, and full of flavour. The bar offers a wide selection of drinks, and the staff give great advice to help you choose something you’ll love. Breakfast the next morning was just as impressive, freshly prepared and hearty, the perfect start to the day. While I didn’t stay in one of the rooms, I was kindly allowed to use the shower in the morning – much appreciated! Friendly service, great food, and a beautiful setting make this a place I’d gladly return to.

14/08/2025: We had an absolutely wonderful time at The Glenmalure Lodge. The food was exceptional - the lamb was exquisite and cooked to perfection, with generous portions that left us completely satisfied. What truly made our visit special was the incredibly welcoming and helpful staff. Their warm hospitality went above and beyond our expectations. As an extra touch of kindness, they even allowed us to park our motorhome overnight in their car park free of charge, which was greatly appreciated. The combination of delicious food, excellent service, and genuine Irish hospitality makes The Glenmalure Lodge a true gem. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the area. Thank you to all the staff for making our visit so memorable!

22/06/2025: Nice pints but over priced though food is good staff excellent

01/06/2025: Wouldn’t waste your time or your money . Didn’t appreciate the attitude of the senior bar man and the manager was told we were advised not to return to the pub very unprofessional behaviour and made us feel very uncomfortable.

22/07/2025: Everything was delicious and the service was very comfortable.

13/07/2025: Always come here when we are in bray staff are amazing lovely and kind

14/07/2025: A mighty fine pint of Guinness after hiking over from Tomnafinnoge Woods.

13/06/2025: Great pub with superb food and very accommodating and friendly staff. Would highly recommend

05/07/2025: This restaurant has good food options. The restaurant itself was very dirty but had good food 👍. They played very weird monk music which was interesting. Dark interiors, with a goth vibe. The staff were very nice and friendly. Good for kids!

01/07/2025: Grand aul spot! The staff were lovely and you’re well looked after, the steak was gorgeous and the prices are definitely fair for the size of the food they give you! I’ll be back for more without a doubt

06/08/2025: Gorgeous mussels, will definitely be back

14/07/2025: We live in Belfast but always use the occasion to eat here whenever travelling through Co. Wicklow - absolutely a top spot for fresh fish and seafood!

28/05/2025: Dreams can come through. It can happen for you when the weather is kind and the venue is just perfect 👌. Lovely staff, and we felt we were treated so well.

25/05/2025: Stunning location for wedding venue,staff were friendly and kind . The grounds and food were excellent

04/08/2025: Food was OK, service was very poor. Slow, plates left on table and not collected, had to go to the bar to order more drinks. When asked for the bill server was really rude and dismissive.

03/08/2025: I had the Nachos for starter, which was gluttonous but delicious at the same time. Then I had the chicken Schnitzel, the plate was burning hot which suggests that the Champ Mash was prepared in a microwave, but the food was still good and the service was attentive.
