The best restaurants in Wicklow

22/12/2025: Great spot, the bar especially, good pints and good people. Lounge won't accept people in track suits or pyjamas after 8 PM Saturday. But top notch Doug and 'the 3 lads'

30/12/2025: Excellent food and friendly service.

25/11/2025: I was looking forward to eating here as it is a halal restaurant and not your usual fast food/kebab place. It was busy when we arrived, plus it's a small restaurant, so unfortunately we couldn't sit inside and instead decided to do a takeaway & eat in our hotel room. I ordered the "Crispy sticky duck and ramen stir fry" thinking it did not have any sesame seeds or egg in it as they were not listed as allergens in the brackets. We came back to the room, opened our food boxes and there were sesame seeds and fried egg with the noodles. :( I know I should've asked before ordering, so I do admit it was my fault too. I'm just writing about this here not to complain, but so that other people with similar allergies/intolerances are made aware. Thankfully, my friend had ordered a dish that I could eat and so we just swapped our meals, and it was very nice (Ayam Halia). If I'm ever visiting the area again, I would still be interested in trying some of their other dishes.

06/04/2026: Amazing staff and food! Will be back soon for definitely

29/03/2026: Couldn't recommend the food here enough. The burgers are sublime. Haven't even ventured into the restaurant menu yet and I'm throughly impressed. The staff are lovely. It has that old familiar feel to it.

30/09/2025: One of the best places to unwind in bray. The atmosphere is just perfect

23/09/2025: Nice quiet comfortable pub with good atmosphere and friendly staff.

19/04/2026: Delicious food, lovely and efficient service and nice jazzy music playing in the background

12/04/2026: Not clear at all; it's actually two restaurants in one place. The menu is a book. The prices are exorbitant: over 20 euros for pizzas and over 15 euros for mini sandwiches. Avoid this place.

26/04/2026: Wow , we were in greystones today from Louth , what an amazing restaurant and the staff , service, atmosphere, food could not speak more highly of this restaurant , it’s a must for sure .

17/04/2026: Forgot to tell us about 'specials' l had preference there.

06/10/2025: Lovely spot with great service and really tasty food. Everything’s freshly made and served with care. Easily the best value for money in Bray — I’ll definitely be back!

02/10/2025: Delicious cappuccino, and pastries! Makes me feel like I’m back in Italy again. Italian owners were very kind and friendly . Grazie!

03/05/2026: Overpriced, expect to wait at least 1 hour for food and 30 Minutes for drinks. Would not recommend dining here. Potions sizes were ridiculous, got loaded fries and literally got about 10 chips! Also they no longer provide bottomless prosecco here.

03/05/2026: Great location to meet and chat over a drink or a bite to eat. Plenty of options on the menu to satisfy any taste, they also have a good vegan menu. Lovely bar & restaurant with plenty of seating areas. The staff are welcoming, friendly and very patient. I chose to meet up with family here, so we could share photos and stories of the past over lunch. It was the perfect setting.

19/12/2025: The guy behind the counter kept putting his hands on and in our food

04/12/2025: A wonderful experience. The staff are fantastic, attentive, and very friendly and cheerful. Thank you for your hospitality and tourist advice. The value for money is perfect! See you soon ☺️

25/10/2025: Amazing food and friendly staff :)

20/10/2025: Wonderful staff who say “darling” every time I come, always smiling, delicious coffee, and a lovely atmosphere. My boyfriend and I love having coffee here on the second floor by the window.

09/08/2025: My cappuccino was fabulous and the staff were super friendly. Bit sad that i was tight on time and had to get a takeaway. Next time I am in Wicklow, I will have food and will dine in. Can't wait !!

05/07/2025: Superb coffee spot, second to none in Wicklow town

26/04/2026: We had a lovely meal here yesterday ....the 2 meals were really tasty, then went to see The Hothouse flowers playing here. The hotel is very nice and the staff were professional & friendly, we will definitely be back.

02/04/2026: I recently stayed at the Arklow Bay Hotel and found it to be a pleasant and comfortable experience overall. The location is excellent, with beautiful coastal views and easy access to nearby walking paths and the town centre. Check-in was smooth, and the staff were friendly, attentive, and always willing to help with any questions. The room itself was clean, spacious, and well maintained, with a comfortable bed that made for a great night’s sleep. While the décor felt slightly dated, everything was in good working order and perfectly adequate for a relaxing stay. The bathroom was spotless, and the housekeeping service was consistent throughout my visit. I also had dinner in the hotel restaurant, where the food was fresh and well prepared, though the menu could benefit from a bit more variety. Breakfast the next morning was satisfying, with a decent selection of hot and cold options. Overall, I would recommend the Arklow Bay Hotel for a short getaway or weekend break, particularly for those looking to enjoy a peaceful seaside setting without straying too far from Dublin. The leisure facilities, including the pool and gym, were an added bonus and contributed positively to the overall experience. I would stay here again in future.
