The best restaurantsof irish in Bray

06/04/2026: Went here as a party of 3 for Sunday lunch. It was very busy so they took our details and said they should have a table in 20 mins. We did a little walk around the harbour and about 10 mins later my phone rang and our table was ready. Even though it was 12.15pm, and breakfast ended at 12pm, I was still able to get the scramblers and bacon which was fab. We also ordered the eggs benny and mini breakfast. 3 meals, 2 coffees and a softdrink later, the bill was €55 and we were full and happy!

26/03/2026: The food is usually excellent, but this morning my scrambled eggs were overcooked, unseasoned and served cold. So disappointing! Not sure what happened, but would make another attempt, based on previous positive experiences.

17/03/2026: Best pizza in Bray! Very friendly people!

16/03/2026: A bar located on the Bray Coast, with a very strategic location. It has a lovely view of the sea from inside. The service is excellent. The food is plentiful, served at the right temperature, and presented beautifully. The atmosphere is a bit noisy due to the large number of people inside. You can watch rugby and football matches, but you need to book well in advance. One slight drawback, in my opinion, is the table arrangement. However, despite this, I was given a table after waiting 20 minutes.

03/02/2026: The food goes from good to decent depending on what you order. In general, this is a very warm / cozy pub with great atmosphere and live music on weekends. The staff are also polite and friendly.

23/01/2026: Food was delicious, staff were friendly and attentive and the atmosphere was quiet but nice.

03/03/2026: Myself and my friend (Jane and Andrew) stayed at The Martello for three nights last week, we had a truly amazing stay. I have stayed at the Hotel before but it was Andrew's first time. The staff are so friendly, kind and informative. The food is delicious - my favourite was the Mussels - to die for! Well done to everyone ! Until we see you again!

02/03/2026: The perfect place for our weekend. Very close to the Dart. Opposite the beautiful promenade and the sea. Spotless rooms. Really helpful staff. Fabulous Irish Breakfast. The bars and restaurants are beautiful So many spaces to sit and enjoy yourselves. Food is gorgeous

22/12/2025: Great spot, the bar especially, good pints and good people. Lounge won't accept people in track suits or pyjamas after 8 PM Saturday. But top notch Doug and 'the 3 lads'

30/09/2025: Great staff ,great food great service

12/03/2026: Most enjoyable food, and service was very good.

09/03/2026: One of the worst carveries I have ever had. The roast beef was unbelievably tough. You could nearly hammer a nail with it. I actually felt bad for the lady serving it because she was clearly struggling to cut through it herself. The service was just as disappointing. We arrived with 2 babies and were seated in the very corner where bar tables and other tables were blocking the way. We had to move about 4 chairs just to get in. Within about 10 minutes we were asked if we were ready to order 3 separate times, which felt very rushed. The table next to us had it even worse. The same staff member asked them 5 times in the same short span. Then when we were actually ready to order, she had disappeared. We also asked for a high chair from the same staff member and it never came. We eventually had to ask another waitress who, to be fair, was very friendly and helpful. There were also several men walking around asking people how the food was before many tables had even received their meals, which felt very odd. I normally go to the Martello, but since I had parked beside Star I thought I would give it a try. Unfortunately it was a very disappointing experience. The staff clearly need proper training and the food quality needs serious improvement.
