The best restaurants in Bray

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

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.

09/09/2025: A hidden gem I'll definitely be back!!

06/09/2025: Ordered burger - very disappointing & dry burger.

17/08/2025: I have been here 3 times. The first 2 were fine, service and food was good. The 3rd time was enough to make me not want to come back ever again. It took an hour and half to get our food. Several tables that came after us got there food, ate and left before we did. After an hour I asked and they said the kitchen is backed up. I understand that, it was a full house when we arrived, but why are other tables that sat down 30 mins after us getting served first. After asking 3 times we finally got our food. The chips were stale and food mediocre. Just admit you put in our order late or the ticket was lost in the kitchen. Don't blame a backup kitchen when you have multiple tables being served food and finishing before we can even get a side of fries. This experience was enough to turn me off from ever going or recommending this place to anyone.

17/08/2025: Lovely stop for a nice meal on the seafront! Food is fantastic, waiters are kind and on the ball

17/08/2025: I can't describe how delighted we were today with a perfect food and ambient. The restaurant is absolutely amazing decorated, ethnic design and decorations looks great make you feels cozy and welcome. The staff is amazing, serving on the high level, the food is more than a perfect, me and my son enjoyed every bite and we'll be back for sure. Thank you so much for your hospitality and kindness and delicious food, unbelievable delicious.

16/08/2025: First time going to it last night. Super food, great staff and atmosphere. Really loved the place and will be back again

01/09/2025: Nice icecream, they have flavours like cheesecake, mint, pistachio, etc

17/08/2025: Great gelato and sweet treats. Very reasonably priced. 10/10

18/08/2025: Irish pub!!!!! Characterful place, we drank a beer and ate two boxes of fried food: excellent calamari and prawns, and giant onion rings!!!

14/08/2025: Genuinely.. thee best fish and chips I have ever tasted in my life. Coming from South of England by way of eastbourne, we do alright with our fish especially in some pubs but this is another level 🔥 No surprise as its right along the coast line. Before you even get off the train you can smell the fish and sea salt in the air. Visit Bray and especially visit this amazing establishment. Not just the food, the local beer is excellent in taste also 👌 We will return to this wonderful area for this alone 👌

20/08/2025: Whiskey sour was decent. Interior is beautiful & trendy. Loads of seats. It looks very old manny from the outside. Grand options on the menu.

06/07/2025: Love the ambience, and the service 👌

22/06/2025: Nice pints but over priced though food is good staff excellent

01/06/2025: Wouldn’t waste your time or your money . Didn’t appreciate the attitude of the senior bar man and the manager was told we were advised not to return to the pub very unprofessional behaviour and made us feel very uncomfortable.

14/08/2025: Friendly efficient staff but owner Liz ann started to serve me over priced rubbish greasy slopper the last few times so I will no longer come to my once favourite humble cafe

23/06/2025: I came from Canada to visit Ireland and stopped by this beautiful cafe and fell in love with it. The owner Liz Anne is so kind and caring and takes care and knows every single customer. The food was amazing. I highly recommend the french toast . I felt as if I was back home in familiar surroundings. Liz Anne treats every person like family. Do not miss this place if you visit Ireland

24/08/2025: Best coffee/ pizza/ lunch/ service in Bray.

23/08/2025: A little GEM in Bray. Feels like your in Italy when you step inside here. Perfect cakes, biscuits and food for a nice morning with a cup of coffee

20/08/2025: Dropped in of the dual carriageway. We had a really nice home made scone,butter,jam and cream. Very friendly and efficient staff. Interesting if somewhat expensive shop attached with unusual pieces of furniture and art Well worth dropping in for either a snack or something more substantial.

17/08/2025: Great little pub. Nice views, and well priced drinks. Awesome, friendly staff.
