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.

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

16/07/2025: Wonderful experience, that's the only place in Ireland where I drink coffee as a very good coffee fussy Italian, cheap coffee for Irish prices. Food made freshly from scratch daily including bread and focaccia dough, desserts freshly made from scratch daily, very fresh ingredients with plenty of Italian ingredients. The Italian owners working there make everything and serve both in English and in Italian, they are fantastic people, I always go here every week, super mega ultra recommended. Coffee and wine on sale.

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

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.

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.

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 😃

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.

It is highly recommended for anyone wishing to explore the beauty of County Wicklow while enjoying a historically rich and wonderful place to stay.

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.

31/07/2025: Absolute delicious sandwiches and a sound lad too. Highly recommended

30/07/2025: Good simple, freshly made food in an informal setting. No frills but a tasty, filling and good value for money lunch. Excellent fare at the end of a walk. We'll be back.

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.

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.

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.
