The best restaurants in Wicklow

31/08/2026: Wow that pistachio ice cream was definitely my favourite and ive tired a LOT of these across the world!

26/08/2026: So disappointed to hear this place is closing down (due to development works by the premises owner), gelato was excellent

19/09/2026: We popped in for a delicious early morning coffee and pastry today (so great to have a cafe that caters for early risers in Arklow!) and were welcomed by the friendly owners who clearly put a lot of love and care into all the food they prepare. We will definitely be back and look forward to sampling more from the menu 😊

17/09/2026: A fantastic and charming bistro, the food is exclusively Italian, all cooked on-site, fresh, and delicious. The owners are a Polish woman and an Italian man, a delightful couple. 🤗 We had a light lunch, including a tomato cream soup called "POETRY OF TASTE" 👍. And finally, of course, coffee, and that was a masterful espresso. We highly recommend this charming place and can only give it 5 stars 👍

12/09/2026: Truly Italian! I just fancy something Italian and I found it here. I always pass by here in my walk to Bray seafront and can’t believe I have been passing by here to miss this. Now, I’m addicted. Cannoli is truly delicious and the coffee is super. The panini is freshly made and staff is brilliant and friendly. Carpe Diem, you’re now my favourite in Bray. Thank you!

09/09/2026: Small restaurant with limited seating, but a good selection of salads and sandwiches. It’s a little hard to spot the sign from the road, but look for the purple building! We had the mixed salad with tuna and the roasted ham panini—both were fresh and delicious.

18/08/2026: The loveliest staff, the nicest coffee and food!

10/08/2026: Got a coffee with their butterscotch syrup, very tasty and well made and the girls serving me were lovely

30/09/2026: Great place for brunch by the harbour. Friendly staff and great food. Dog and family friendly. Always reliable.

20/09/2026: Very good service, friendly and profecional reception. The food is tasty and there is a nice view of the dock.

28/07/2026: What an amazing organic restaurant and little shop. We had a delicious meal. Wonderful atmosphere and friendly people. All products are vegan and they taste delicious. Highly recommended and the prices are very affordable. Parking at a distance at a low rate. Animal-friendly restaurant... amazing.

26/07/2026: Wonderful meal, great food. Lovely staff. Lasagne was amazing, I want the pesto recipe. Tomato soup was really good, proper homemade. Real ingredients. Don’t leave food unattended or the birds will eat it.

17/09/2026: Great place to eat. Love the staff. Just a nice homely experience and good food. Make sure you have a quick walk around the cemetery across the road

06/09/2026: Waited 45 minutes, 2 of my friends got 2 full Irish breakfast, I only had two sausages and scrambled egg, and charged me 18 euro for mine, and there's was only 16.95. Cause I didn't order of the menu. Any biker reading this, go elsewhere. Food was rotten, A lot more to it, I'd appreciate my money back 💯.

18/09/2026: Great friendly place and food was of high quality. Service was excellent! Will be back.

18/09/2026: Excellent service today at Butler and Barry. We were celebrating our wedding, a small group, but Sebastian and the team looked after us very well. Thank you all for a lovely day

26/08/2026: We stumbled upon this restaurant by chance, and it was a very pleasant surprise. The staff, especially the owner, were incredibly attentive. We ordered two Irish breakfasts, which were very generous, and a special mention goes to the bread and the white and black pudding, which were absolutely delicious.

07/08/2026: The Old Ship is a gem located in Arklow. The food is consistently good as is the service and overall ambience. The staff are extremely attentive, pleasant and cannot do enough to ensure your dining experience is warm and welcoming. The food is amazing and presented with a creative flair. If you have room for dessert, the apple pie is out of this world and it comes with its own" gravy boat" of homemade custard. Hats off to the pastry chef for that creation😘 One of my favorite places to eat in the beautiful county of Wicklow.

16/07/2026: Gorgeous food, nicest I've had in ages. I live an hour away but will come again

12/07/2026: Very well respected staff. Food is delicious. Clean place and strongly recommended.

06/10/2026: Gorgeous food! Efficient staff and lovely atmosphere 👌

26/09/2026: The three pictures are from 2024, 2025, and today, in 2026. I don’t know why it took me 2 years to leave a review, but wow! I ordered the Heaven Burger and will always order it as I consider this burger to be the best one I’ve ever had in my entire life so far. Every person I’ve brought along also agrees with me. I even convinced a pescatarian to eat a beef burger. The flavours and ingredients will just blow your mind! Everything is just so well put together and the portion is more than enough to leave you full. I’m pretty sure everything else on the menu is just as delicious. Every time different dishes passes by just makes you want to try everything. This place is definitely worth trying if you’re passing through Bray!

30/08/2026: A brilliant family-run business with some of the nicest, friendliest staff you could possibly come across. The place is always spotless, welcoming and well looked after, and there’s a lovely atmosphere every time you walk through the door. A huge well done to Pádraig and Marie and all the team for the standard they keep. It’s also great to see the effort they put into the outside of the premises — it’s looking absolutely smashing and really adds to the appearance of Ashford village. It’s businesses like this, taking pride in their premises and their community, that make a village a better place. Great food, great people and a fantastic local business. Well worth supporting.

02/08/2026: We had a meal here twice this year and it is definitely our go to place. Superb food lively busy atmosphere. The staff are friendly and attentive. We were delighted with our evenings on both occasions.

07/09/2026: You need to get a ticket to see a garden and their restaurant is reservation only. The farm shop has great optipns for local products I've never seen in Ireland.

06/09/2026: Nice place to go for a walk and lunch

24/09/2026: Had a very pleasant dinner, the food was amazing, the service was incredible, professional and friendly. The chakra whiskey sour is well balanced.

18/09/2026: Had a fantastic experience at Chakra in Greystones. The chaat, biryani, thali everything we tried was absolutely delicious, full of flavour, and beautifully presented. The service was excellent, and the staff were warm, friendly, and attentive throughout our visit. The ambience was also lovely, making it the perfect place for a relaxed and enjoyable meal. Highly recommended. we’ll definitely be back!

28/06/2026: Three of us had dinner here last night. The ambiance in the restaurant is welcomming and offers a great atmosphere with well decorated classic good quality furniture. However, the food were disapointing. The selection is very limited and for the price we paid, we expected better quality. Overall very overpriced.

11/05/2026: Excellent restaurant and food . Service staff very welcoming
