10/08/2026: Got a coffee with their butterscotch syrup, very tasty and well made and the girls serving me were lovely

12/09/2026: Truly Italian! I just fancy something Italian and I found it here. I always pass by here in my walk to Bray seafront and can’t believe I have been passing by here to miss this. Now, I’m addicted. Cannoli is truly delicious and the coffee is super. The panini is freshly made and staff is brilliant and friendly. Carpe Diem, you’re now my favourite in Bray. Thank you!

09/09/2026: Small restaurant with limited seating, but a good selection of salads and sandwiches. It’s a little hard to spot the sign from the road, but look for the purple building! We had the mixed salad with tuna and the roasted ham panini—both were fresh and delicious.

02/09/2026: I neen to the dockyard multiple times with my family and friends and one 2 times on my only but every time I go depending on the staff when I went on my only thats time it took 1h to get my food come and I and was almost cold they single me out and started talking about me out loud 2 off the staff generally i have no problem with them but does not take almost a 1h fir one food to come out and I didn't order a drink summary they they served other people immediately who had four people at the table , but why did I take half an hour , almost see it served and the last time with my friend it took 50 mins and and we late we sat down at 2 ordered at 2:20 and the food come at 2:50

20/08/2026: We had Dockyard breakfast several times and were delighted with our visit. The staff were attentive and friendly throughout, and it's clear they're used to welcoming families — they were especially kind and patient with our kids, which we really appreciated. On top of that, we thought the value for money was great. We'll definitely be back next time we're in the area. Highly recommended!

18/09/2026: Great friendly place and food was of high quality. Service was excellent! Will be back.

04/08/2026: Excellent experience. Lovely homemade ravioli, very pleasant service. Went on a Friday, reservations absolutely needed...

20/07/2026: I was spending a few days in Bray and looking for a place to eat, and I definitely found the right spot. The staff was friendly even though I didn't have a reservation and the place was full. They offered me a table for 45 minutes, which was perfect. The lasagna was delicious. I will definitely return to Bray.

15/09/2026: My husband and I enjoyed an early weekend dinner here last weekend. The food was delicious, perfect flavours, presentation was lovely and the service was fast, friendly and professional. We will be very happy to return here. The chilli chicken starter was especially good!! Reasonably priced for the quality of the food too and it was lovely to people watch from the high window on Bray main street.

19/09/2026: Still one of the best pubs in the world. Always nice staff and a great beer selection. Not many pubs in ireland can have 2 bands playing at the same time.

14/09/2026: This please is so fun. Doesn't get any better.

12/09/2026: Tasty La Savoyarde crêpe. Prompt, clean, professional.

01/08/2026: The food is very fresh and really delicious.

19/08/2026: Lovely place”overly coffee. Dog friendly when we were unfortunately there was a dog that wouldn’t stop barking at others, not the staffs fault. But people should keep reactive dogs home, I wouldn’t take my to a place this for the same reason

16/08/2026: Very disappointing when menu changed. Significant reduction in options such as pancakes and french and the vegiterian breakfast. Hopefully these options are added back one day however for now it's disappointing. Great service and nice atmosphere however no longer as good for vegiterian/ vegan breakfasts.
