The best restaurants in Wicklow

07/08/2025: Bella little café where you can sit out on the wall by Edible Bray's veggie patch! 🌼 I had a gorgeous olive oil 🫒 Bread 🍞 & Lentil soup 🍲 Cosy atmosphere with friendly, helpful & joyful staff 🤗

07/08/2025: I visited Caffè Letterario in Bray today for the second time, and it just confirmed what a gem this place is. It’s rare to find a café like this in Ireland. The atmosphere is warm and cosy, perfect for relaxing or enjoying a quiet moment. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. I had one of their panini, and it was delicious, fresh and full of flavour. If you want an espresso like in Italy, this is the place. An amazing spot. I highly recommend it.

13/09/2025: This restaurant is a real hidden gem! The focaccia was fantastic, and the meaty lasagna and the desserts were equally delicious. You could really taste the high quality of the ingredients used – it's clear that the owner cares deeply about maintaining a high standard. The staff and owner were also very friendly. We will certainly be back.

03/08/2025: Went in to use the bathroom here during the bray air festival as the public toilets had a 30 minute line. Just to get screamed at by both the Italian male and female owners at the top of their lungs in front of the whole busy cafe, I’m 7 months pregnant and he shouted at the top of his lungs at me “shame on you for using your pregnancy as an EXCUSE” over and over. Such a horrible attitude, left me shook leaving. Please don’t support this place with such a degrading attitude towards pregnant women. For the uneducated owner: 1. Pregnancy isn’t an ‘excuse’ to use the toilet when in need 2. ⁠You should never scream in the face of a pregnant woman it’s very stressful for her and baby to handle

28/08/2025: Good Irish breakfast and super friendly customer service. The place is very authentic, they serve irish breakfast, sandwiches, wraps, brekky rolls and loads of pastries. All the staff members were super friendly, we came here twice and would highly recommend going there !!

26/08/2025: Without a doubt the best place in Bray for an authentic Irish breakfast. Lots of great options for custom sandwiches and wraps, baked goods, sweets, and of course coffee. A lovely spot to sit and relax with a welcoming atmosphere and lovely staff. Not to be missed if you’re in Bray.

29/07/2025: The matcha is sooo good the butterscotch matcha is so tasty i love it 🙈🙈 i slurped it all up so i cant show a photo of the matcha whoops

24/07/2025: Top quality coffee. Excellent service

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.

06/09/2025: Having heard so much but never visited before I was a little disappointed after paying the €10 fee in comparison to Kilmacurragh gardens which are free. The food in the AVOCA cafe is delicious and lots of lovely little shops in the square

04/09/2025: A lovely place to visit. The flowers are stunning and the setting is peaceful.

11/08/2025: Great food reasonably priced Staff very attentive

11/08/2025: This location is beautiful and serene, and there's tons to explore nearby if you have a car. The food is delicious, and the staff is exceptionally friendly and committed to ensuring a comfortable stay. It is highly recommended for anyone wishing to explore the beauty of County Wicklow while enjoying a historically rich and wonderful place to stay.

23/08/2025: I recently visited Taste of Italy in Arklow — and it turned out to be a real gem! 🇮🇹 The atmosphere is warm and cozy, and the owners welcome you as if you were an old friend. 🍝 Food — authentic homemade Italian cuisine. Pasta, ravioli, and soups are full of flavor and clearly made with care and passion. 🍰 Desserts — absolutely outstanding. The Sicilian tiramisu and cannoli are light, delicate, and full of taste. You can immediately tell they are handmade with love. ☕ Coffee — probably the best in town! Strong, aromatic, and perfect when paired with a dessert, especially if you sit by the window overlooking the river. 🌟 Overall: A little corner of Italy in Arklow. I will definitely come back and highly recommend it! Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)

09/08/2025: €8 glass of wine and I it looked like half a glass. €8 bottle of wine in aldi. I wont be going there again. Service was good, people where nice, but when your making that much profit would expect a smile 😃

18/07/2025: Nice food and great service at the bar. A good location

10/07/2025: We had a lovely stay. The staff were great! We had dinner down at the bar (it was delicious!! I enjoyed a pub toastie and carrot & coconut soup) we enjoyed having a few drinks at the bar and meeting Alan. Alan was enjoyable to chat with. We really enjoyed our stay. Only recommendation would be fans available for warmer days. We are so use to air conditioning here in Florida…. A room without air conditioning is dreadful. Lucky for us Ireland evening weather is cooler…. So it wasn’t so bad at night but you guys have much longer summer evenings than we do here in Florida this time of year.

11/09/2025: Delicious, freshly ground food, and fast too. They don't rush you, so take your time.

08/09/2025: Had lunch here a few times. Food. Coffee & desserts excellent. Good choice & very helpful & friendly staff, particularly if you don’t eat certain ingredients.

17/08/2025: So many vegan choices and everything was delicious. Can't wait to go back for more!

14/08/2025: Why is it I always find great places before I'm leaving Ireland. After a good ten trips, I've found my fav place. A delicious Reuben in the garden with a ginger beer. All vegan. Win win win. Can't wait to come back.

03/08/2025: One of the best pizzas I've had in a long time, and the freshly made tiramisu was the cherry on top. Better than what I've had in some great spots in Italy. Friendly staff and a great atmosphere. Highly recommended!

29/07/2025: Great pizza and staff so so helpful.

21/08/2025: A small diner offering light, traditional meals, coffee, and hot drinks. Groceries are also available for purchase. Affordable for the area.

19/08/2025: Adorable cafe. The woman makes all food fresh. The scones were straight out of the oven with butter and fresh cream. Amazing. The coffee cake was moist and delicious.

11/09/2025: We had our breakfasts to go from them. One thing to say: delicious! I highly recommend the avocado breakfast! If I come back to the area I will make a detour just to come see you and eat at your place. Thank you for your kindness and maybe see you soon in Montpellier!

26/08/2025: A quirky little food truck in a small village in Wicklow.... food was very tasty and priced well.

12/07/2025: Just popped in as i was passing through. Really nice staff. Food was good except for pepper sauce. Nice atmosphere

03/07/2025: Renovated place, new owner, nice place where you can eat well and cheaply, the food is tasty and fresh
