The best restaurants in Wicklow

22/12/2025: The coffee is always good at Costa. And I love the spiced ginger biscuits. But this last visit was unpleasant. The majority of empty tables had not been cleared which meant that I had to clear one myself in order for us to sit comfortably. The whole place just felt horribly grubby. And the toilets smelled like a urinal and there was no toilet roll.

07/12/2025: Love this place. Lots of space inside, and warm and friendly staff. Excellent range of coffees and nice sandwiches and sweet treats. The building is an interesting square design with windows all the way around the building.

01/03/2026: I have had dinner hear many times in the past and it was always a pleasure but it was so bad this time I had to change the review I left before. On our latest visit I think it was the worst service I think I have had in a restaurant in Ireland. The food when we received it was excellent. But what should haven been a two hour visit tuned into a 3 and a half hour affair. Their was lots of staff but only one seemed to be doing anything including taking our order clearing the table the rest of the staff where busy talking.It was such a bad service I don't think I would return.

24/02/2026: RARA RESTAURANT BRAY is absolutely top class! Amazing food full of authentic flavour, beautifully presented, and fantastic service every time. A true gem in Bray — highly recommended! 🌟

02/09/2025: Lovely spot, staff are very welcoming and professional, highly recommended, many thanks to the excellent bartender Jamie for a lovely evening. 🙏🙏

14/12/2025: This place has very friendly staff, and rooms are fine, good comfy beds, clean, for the most part, But its not a hotel, its a pub/nightclub with rooms. If you are here on weekend, you will not sleep before 3am. The rooms are directly above the "nightclub " and its loud, Not just a little, its very loud. But if you know what your getting, its fine. About the food, sorry but its really bad. Like bad, bad. Apart from that, staff are great, rooms basic but, decent, common areas are very 80s and rundown. If you want a cheap place to sleep, with a good place to get pissed and stay up until 3am. This is for you. If you want a luxury room and a peaceful early night on a weekend, then look elsewhere.

12/10/2025: Hotel and pub on Arklow's main street, a welcoming place to stop for tea, coffee, or a beer with friends.

26/03/2026: Friendly staff, reception is a bit grubby. The food was nice easily 4 stars. I'll definitely go back as this was my first time.

23/03/2026: Food was delivered way to fast. half cooked chips and the curry sauce was black and bland won’t be ordering here again absolute joke 🤣

10/04/2026: Awful experience with the driver delivering. Didn't seem to want to deliver to an apartment and then I asked him not to shout at me to come to the door and he turned aggressive. Never again.

24/03/2026: Bought this expecting proper fish… what a joke. The batter is literally thicker than the fish inside. Once you cut into it, there’s barely anything there—just a thin, sad layer of fish hidden under a mountain of uncooked batter. “Fresh & Tasty” on the packaging is completely misleading. There’s nothing fresh about it, and the taste doesn’t make up for it either. Honestly feels like a rip-off. If I wanted mostly batter, I’d have gone to the bakery next door. I only tried the Fish Box.

11/12/2025: Terrible. Chicken was served almost RAW and completely chewy, get the wrong change and barely speak english or have any manners. Would steer clear, better options available in Bray

14/04/2026: Absolutely terrible service ordered 7:20 no delivery till 9:20 socking service food was cold no surprise 80% ended in fire don’t bother be you’ll be let down

08/02/2026: Not Diep anymore, don't be fooled! Beef like playdough. Few dishes with the same name as Diep, but tastes nothing like Diep. Need to take the Diep name out of the window and stop pretending. Rotten. 👎

20/10/2025: Very rude and unprofessional young sales assistant. No basic manners, no “thank you” or “please.” Left a very unpleasant impression. Manager should look into this.

20/10/2025: Was in Earls last weekend, I had a lovely sandwich and coffee made by the super staff. Big shout out to Tom who was very friendly and obliging. I’ll be back!

07/10/2025: Very polite service, delicious food and cosy atmosphere 😀 highly recommended 👌

02/09/2025: Fast service Food nice Staff very welcoming and polite

12/03/2026: Sometimes fab, sometimes mid, never bad

09/03/2026: Nicest Chinese I’ve ever had in my life. Stanley is very nice to me. The muchy boxes are amazing👍

03/02/2026: Great food, quick delivery, good portions and fair pricing. Ordered many times and it never disappoints.

05/01/2026: Dirt.... absolutely disgusting.... soggy kebab.... no sauce after requesting extra sauce ... one chicken tender cut in half in kebab...rest of kebab wett/sweaty lettuce & soggy bread .... disgusting...disgusting..disgusting..& have cheek to charge €10 ....(I am not a fussy eatter..)

11/04/2026: Ordered a cheese burger . My burger had no cheese on it and was over loaded with raw onion with the thinnest beef patty I’d ever seen, which wasn’t fresh , tasted out of date. I threw it out after one bite.

04/04/2026: Incredible food full of flavour all staff are sound very respectful best chipper in arklow any day

05/04/2026: The kebab was delicious, we gave it a 7 out of 10. The staff was pleasant, and they gave us fries as a bonus. We didn't really like the fries, so just get the kebab. They got a little dirty, too.

01/03/2026: Honestly it’s one of the nicest fish and chips I ever had, read some negative reviews that made me reluctant to buy from here but, Im glad I did , Highly recommend Milanos !

12/03/2026: Order placed an hour and twenty minutes. Called twice & told order is with the driver. This is the second bad experience recently with this place.

06/01/2026: We have used the restaurant a few times and everything was excellent from the interactions with all the staff to the food. Wanted Chinese tonight and couldn’t decide so orders munchie box for pick-up. The pizza box, going to be honest looked suspicious. Herself raised an eyebrow when I got home. Everything was as nicely presented as possible, it was piping hot. All the food including the chips were cooked perfectly and crispy. Definitely one of the better Chinese takeaways we have had over the years.
