The best restaurants in Bray

01/02/2026: The coffee, focaccia, and desserts were amazing! I felt like I was in Italy and it brought back wonderful memories. You can really tell everything was made with love and the staff was so kind and attentive. Highly recommend! 😊

19/01/2026: Very good coffee ☕ the pastries are also a treat, the Italians here are super friendly, just like the ones in Milan (hahahaha, it's an inside joke with them) haha. But very good service, friendly, exquisite coffee and pastries, and a super warm atmosphere in Bray, where you get used to having coffee around six in the afternoon. In Ireland, usually four or three in the afternoon, there aren't any cafes hahaha, so it's much appreciated 😊😊😁

03/02/2026: The food goes from good to decent depending on what you order. In general, this is a very warm / cozy pub with great atmosphere and live music on weekends. The staff are also polite and friendly.

23/01/2026: Food was delicious, staff were friendly and attentive and the atmosphere was quiet but nice.

07/01/2026: Great food and good service! Totally recommended!

06/01/2026: This place has to be one of the nicest meals I have ever eaten, their food is beyond delicious. The service leaves a lot to be desired- you won’t get a drink without approaching the bar yourself. Same if you want to order food, get the bill etc. you always have to go and find a member of staff. But other than that, they are very polite and friendly, so it’s not that big of a problem. Definitely worth the delicious food. Also love the variety on the menu.

03/03/2026: Myself and my friend (Jane and Andrew) stayed at The Martello for three nights last week, we had a truly amazing stay. I have stayed at the Hotel before but it was Andrew's first time. The staff are so friendly, kind and informative. The food is delicious - my favourite was the Mussels - to die for! Well done to everyone ! Until we see you again!

02/03/2026: The perfect place for our weekend. Very close to the Dart. Opposite the beautiful promenade and the sea. Spotless rooms. Really helpful staff. Fabulous Irish Breakfast. The bars and restaurants are beautiful So many spaces to sit and enjoy yourselves. Food is gorgeous

11/08/2025: Bought a ‘Too Good to Go’ order from here and am happy to say I was very pleased with the contents and value !

24/11/2025: Coffee is great! The most important thing is, this C. Coffee actually is that B Coffee! 😉 Confusing map🤪

03/11/2025: Lovely food in a small setting. Cosy. Highly recommend.

03/07/2025: Great value for money on sandwiches, killarney club and coffee was yum

07/09/2025: Addictive! Delighted to be able to get a Sunday treat from them every week in Dun Laoghaire. Coconut mocha cheesecake is my absolute favourite ❤️ any chance of a loyalty scheme ? ☺️

26/07/2025: We dropped by today! We thought that this location was a counter as opposed to their production unit. No trouble whatsoever though and we were greeted by a wonderful staff member (so sorry we didnt catch her name). She noticed I was pregnant and immediately grabbed a chair for me to sit whilst she got the slices boxed up. It was so kind and appreciated!. Such a fabulous lady!. The cheesecake was 10/10 absolutely amazing!!! Craving was 100% satisfied 😁 will definitely be ordering in the future ! Thanks so much!

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.

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'

30/09/2025: Great staff ,great food great service

12/03/2026: Most enjoyable food, and service was very good.

09/03/2026: One of the worst carveries I have ever had. The roast beef was unbelievably tough. You could nearly hammer a nail with it. I actually felt bad for the lady serving it because she was clearly struggling to cut through it herself. The service was just as disappointing. We arrived with 2 babies and were seated in the very corner where bar tables and other tables were blocking the way. We had to move about 4 chairs just to get in. Within about 10 minutes we were asked if we were ready to order 3 separate times, which felt very rushed. The table next to us had it even worse. The same staff member asked them 5 times in the same short span. Then when we were actually ready to order, she had disappeared. We also asked for a high chair from the same staff member and it never came. We eventually had to ask another waitress who, to be fair, was very friendly and helpful. There were also several men walking around asking people how the food was before many tables had even received their meals, which felt very odd. I normally go to the Martello, but since I had parked beside Star I thought I would give it a try. Unfortunately it was a very disappointing experience. The staff clearly need proper training and the food quality needs serious improvement.

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.

20/11/2025: Food is very average, and staff is lovely but not well Organised, they are confused with order so a bit dissappointing.
