The best restaurants in Bray

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.

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

14/08/2025: We had the chilli eggs and beef brisket, followed by baileys cheesecake served with vanilla ice cream and fresh berries. Main courses were freshly cooked, well seasoned, tasty and generous portion. Dessert was also very tasty, smooth and creamy, refreshing and a great finish to brunch. Staff were very friendly and accommodating.

03/08/2025: The menu was not up to date, expect to pay between 20 and 30 euros for a dish + drink.

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.

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

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 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.

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 👌

28/07/2025: Really big and tasty sandwiches - add the mug of soup. Sat outside as was sunny.

18/07/2025: Everything was amazing! Panini was delicious and the best coffee that i have ever had.

26/07/2025: This family run restaurant offers the absolut best service and great breakfast options. It’s a traditional Irish breakfast with a variety of options you could put together yourself. The owner was exceptionally welcoming and the staff were very friendly with a great sense of humor that really stood out! We will definitely come back next time we’re in Bray.

19/07/2025: Super nice Staff! Excellent Service! Amazing boss!! 😊❤️

07/08/2025: Visited Pink Salt with my family and had a superb experience! The food was absolutely amazing — every dish was delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented. What truly stood out was the warm hospitality — the staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive, making us feel comfortable and well taken care of throughout. Everything was truly 5-star. Thank you, Pink Salt, for such a lovely experience! We’ll definitely be back.

26/06/2025: Reallt tasty food, comes out fast. Service overall good but one young waiter was very awkward and was poorly trained. He kept reaching across our faces with his arm instead of moving around our bodies and use his right arm from our right side, which I found annoying. Atmosphere is OK but could be improved.

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

02/06/2025: What a beautiful place stuck on main street in bray . So relaxing having a chat a pint . Thanks to all . I don't think they do food . Hence no ratings

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

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.

04/08/2025: Food was OK, service was very poor. Slow, plates left on table and not collected, had to go to the bar to order more drinks. When asked for the bill server was really rude and dismissive.

03/08/2025: I had the Nachos for starter, which was gluttonous but delicious at the same time. Then I had the chicken Schnitzel, the plate was burning hot which suggests that the Champ Mash was prepared in a microwave, but the food was still good and the service was attentive.
