The best restaurants in Bray

12/07/2026: Best breakfast in town! Everything tastes amazing. Especially the coffee. My wife and I try to go every weekend. The swans and birds outside at the dock are great to visit too. Picturesque. 12th July 2026. It's been a while since we were here, it still never lets me down. I love this place. Mark

25/06/2026: The ham that comes with the eggs benedict is sensational, delicious food and iced coffee

16/07/2026: Un dolce 🍰 e un caffè ☕ Brilliant 👌 service and delicious food🥪 as always

16/07/2026: We are not regular visitors to Bray, even though we live not too far away. Opted for Carpe Diem based on a "Best of 10 in Bray" list. Food was fantastic. Great value too. Will be making return visits.

18/07/2026: Shawn was amazing! Came here from canada and he was absolutely incredible. a memorable part of our trip.

18/07/2026: It's okay... the setting is very nice. The staff are friendly enough but girl who served my wife and I was a bit grumpy, maybe just a bad day. Weirdest thing - my wife ordered "Irish sea trout" only to be given salmon. When we raised this with waitress she simply said "oh that's what it's called on the menu". In what world is that a normal thing to do? To call salmon, trout? And then for her to shrug her shoulders as if it's our problem. Maybe let people know their trout is actually salmon, or better yet rename it on the menu. Have asked 10 people about this and they are all as shocked as we were. Bizzare behaviour, I wonder what else they call one thing and it's actually another.

08/07/2026: Great for a lunch in a sunny day

07/07/2026: I prefer my food on a plate not in a box

30/11/2025: Fantastic coffee shop. Sausage rolls are to die for, and coffee is always amazing. Tried the dark peppermint mocha, interesting take it was nice for a change

31/10/2025: The bray store is amazing!! Brendan always makes the best coffee and the peppermint mocha he made today was delicious. Best coffee around!😊

19/07/2026: I had very bad experience here from the start the receptionist girl is very rude she is not helpful at all other staff is good and I ordered spicy paneer and I got it sweet gravy paneer which is not good at all so wasted all my money

17/07/2026: Had a fantastic dining experience at Daata in Bray! 🍛✨ From the moment we walked in, the restaurant had a warm and inviting atmosphere. The modern décor, stylish interiors, and soft lighting create a cosy yet vibrant setting that's perfect for a family dinner, date night, or catching up with friends. 😊 The restaurant felt lively without being too noisy, and the overall ambiance made the experience even more enjoyable. For food, we ordered the Signature Butter Chicken, Afgani Chicken, Tandoori Naan, and Garlic Naan. 😋👌 The butter chicken was rich, creamy, and full of flavour, while the Afgani chicken was tender, juicy, and beautifully seasoned with a lovely smoky touch. The naans were fresh, soft, and perfectly baked, making them the perfect accompaniment to the curries. 🧄🥖🔥 The staff were friendly, attentive, and welcoming throughout our visit, adding to the positive experience. 🙌 One thing to note is that parking can be quite difficult to find during peak hours 🚗🅿️, so it's worth allowing a little extra time if you're visiting on a busy evening. Also, the prices are on the higher side compared to some other local options, 💰 but honestly, the quality of the food, the generous portions, the great service, and the lovely ambiance make it well worth it in the end. 👍✨ Overall, Daata delivers excellent food, a fantastic dining atmosphere, and great service. Definitely one of the best places in Bray for authentic and flavourful Indian cuisine. We'll definitely 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.

24/05/2026: The staff was so friendly and my food came very quickly despite the cafe being busy. Very reasonably priced and the food was so delicious and fresh.

15/05/2026: The cutest lil cafe, really nice seats cosy atmosphere and lots of books on wall to read!! Would recommend

12/07/2026: The best gelatto I've ever tried in Ireland

03/07/2026: Fantastic food and coffee. Very friendly staff.

07/06/2026: 5 star 🌟 my favourite cafe in bray

19/07/2026: The vegetarian Irish breakfast at Catalyst Cafe was absolutely outstanding, easily standing out as one of the best cafe meals I’ve ever had. I was particularly impressed by the French toast, which featured a unique, custom flavor profile that was truly memorable. The staff was absolutely amazing, making the entire experience even better. I highly recommend visiting !

22/06/2026: First time visiting this cafe and will be back. It was a beautiful sunny day and there was a couple of tables outside on street and customers availing of the good weather. Situated on the Florence Rd in Bray just of the main street. Good location. Great parking around the area some of it is paid parking. Wheelchair accessible, all on the flat. Much bigger on the inside than what you would think from the outside. A number of tables inside. A nice selection on the menu. Good value. The Staff are very friendly and helpful and couldn't do enough for you. A lovely atmosphere. Would definitely recommend a visit. Child friendly.

11/07/2026: Ordered from Pink Salt for first time tonight selected delivery and was said it would be 55 mins. However after over an hour and fifty mins food arrived with no apology, after ringing restaurant at the hour thirty mark to be told food out over 15 mins!!! Won’t be rushing back if this is service live less than 8 mins away by car at a minimum. Food was average after all the hype we heard, not withstanding the fact tepid after being out for delivery so long!

15/06/2026: We looked at the reviews online before we booked the restuarant. With reviews of 4.5/5 on average we went ahead and booked. What a disappointment, decor dated, food average, portions small (apart from the naan bread) and set menu was way overpriced. For dessert we had ice cream and there were lumps of ice in it. Definitely will not be back.

07/07/2026: An amazing dining experience, the food was incredible and the staff were so kind and hospitable.we will be back no doubt !!!

27/06/2026: My favourite restaurant in Bray

17/07/2026: Great food, kids' menu was just right, good wine, excellent service.

15/07/2026: This is a wonderful place, ideal for enjoying a delicious meal.

30/06/2026: horrendously rude man behind the counter!! I asked for oat milk, and he didn’t even wipe the milk frothing, so there was dairy in my coffee & I’m lactose intolerant. I got a take away coffee and it was far too hot!! The toilet for in horrendous condition, no hook to hang your bag, no mirrors and the toilet rolls were strun everywhere!! if I could give the place no stars, I would!

30/06/2026: Visited Gusto Italiano in Bray and had a great experience. The mocha was rich and smooth, the pistachio croissant was fresh and full of flavour, and the apple tart with cinnamon was really tasty. Everything was well made and enjoyable. A great stop for coffee and pastries.
