The best restaurants in Wicklow

25/08/2025: Great cafe, great service, and magnificent vegan sausage rolls! They offer ice for water, perfect for hot days like today (writing this in late summer) Vick is a bit mad but we like that. Join the Vick's cult today 😆 I would also like to mention that it is called Vick's now, not Gourmet Greystones. and it has since 2024. You can see it on the sign and the picture I took a couple of months ago as of when I'm writing this that you can see in the "Photos" tab. Myself and a few others including Vick himself, have suggested an edit to change the name on maps to Vick's, but to no avail. Get on it, Google!

19/10/2025: We are new Wicklow residents, this was our first time at Sparrows Nest and we were not disappointed. Excellent food, including Lamb Shank, which was tender and delicious and light and tasty tempura fish accompanied by a lovely French Rose. Our waitress, Alex, was extremely welcoming, friendly and efficient. The restaurant was busy, the atmosphere was warm and pleasant with a great buzz, but the front of house and kitchen staff were on the ball. We will definitely be back!

20/10/2025: Got a late-night chicken burger just 5 minutes before closing, and the staff couldn’t have been more polite! The burger was absolutely delicious—juicy, flavorful, and not greasy at all. Definitely recommend this place!

07/09/2025: We went to Eddie Rockets for lunch. I love the food in Eddie Rockets. It's always fresh and tasty. I had kitchen Sink Nachos and a Chocolate malt Milkshake. My son had a Classic Burger and chips meal with a drink. He also got dessert which was a Donut N' Ice-Cream. The staff were friendly and helpful. The place was clean and so were the toilets. We will be back.

06/10/2025: In days long gone I would have given 5+ stars but after visiting today with English visitor we decided just far too overpriced. We left without purchasing food either and decided to be sensible with our money, not mean, just sensible. Will not be returning having been such a regular customer for many years especially in Rathcoole branch.

28/10/2025: Class studios well organised and great staff. Cheers 🍻

08/07/2025: We came across Kitchen 28/Andrew Holmes catering a few years ago and have used them on a number of occasions to cater for family events and parties. We find them great to deal with, they are really quick to respond to any queries and are very helpful. We have ordered varying dishes over the years from sandwich platters to full hot meals and the food is always amazing! It’s very reasonably priced and the portions are very generous.

16/05/2025: Divine toasted sandwiches with the tastiest freshest ingredients. Lovely friendly staff.

18/08/2025: Very good Irish pub, just the way we like them. Cozy and calm atmosphere (5/6 p.m.).

19/07/2025: A friendly, traditional bar on Blessington main road.

03/11/2025: I don't even know where to start. I'm an actor and the production company booked this "hotel" for me for a few days. I had really early morning starts for work and got back late in the evenings. I just needed a place to rest at night . When I first rang them, the woman was very rude on the phone. That should have told me everything I needed to know about the place but I gave her the benefit of the doubt and thought maybe she's busy and stressed and that's why she was rude. After filming all day I would just want to eat and sleep (not socialize, or eat out) . Late finish times usually means take away food would be the easiest option however this 'hotel' does not allow you to have take away food. They played really really loud music, they could have turned it down a bit . A man and a guitar how loud can it be???? The sound was awful on my room. I got zero sleep. And somehow it went on from 9:30 pm until 1:30am. When I rang them to complain (I really needed sleep) I was having bad chest pains and thought I was gonna have a heart attack) the guy on the phone tells me " we have trad night, we advertise this everywhere, so why would you book this place to stay in?" This were his exact words. I told him I didn't book it, the company booked it. He was so rude. As well as the woman . I often stay away for work but I've never never experienced such bad manners. They don't care about their guests staying in the accommodations. On fact they're not accommodating at all. I could go on about this but I won't. Eventually I found the most peaceful b&b called the meetings bnb. It was absolute paradise. The staff took such good care of me. Please check this place out before booking at jacobs well. The meetings is surrounded by trees and the two rivers meet. It's tranquil but most importantly the staff is actually KIND , that's all I needed. I know if Jacobs well responds to this it will be the same defensive narci responses. Fyi booking.com did not advertise loud music . I tried sleeping in the shower, hoping it would drown out the noise some what with the fan but it didn't at all. Because the speakers were insanely loud Oof it was an awful awful experience. Might as well save money and sleep in the car. Yes I did! People like this really shouldn't be in business. If you wanna relax and eat what you want go somewhere else. A response to this narcissist, and defensive owner- I called only twice ( only to make payment because you told me it had to be don't over the phone. Absolutely not a single person had let me know that this room was over the bar. The fact that you still come on here to lie shows how absolutely awful you people are. I actually feel sorry to the people that have to deal with you on a daily basis.

20/10/2025: A beautiful family run pub. The chicken curry is beautiful. Once a week we have takeaway curry. And I look forward to that day!

09/11/2025: Top spot for a spin and a cuppa

26/10/2025: After 7 attempts I was no longer alone 😉

08/11/2025: Really good food, highly recommended!
