The best restaurants in Wicklow

19/10/2025: We are new Wicklow residents, this was our first time at Sparrows Nest and we were not disappointed. Excellent food, including Lamb Shank, which was tender and delicious and light and tasty tempura fish accompanied by a lovely French Rose. Our waitress, Alex, was extremely welcoming, friendly and efficient. The restaurant was busy, the atmosphere was warm and pleasant with a great buzz, but the front of house and kitchen staff were on the ball. We will definitely be back!

11/10/2025: Amazing food, professional service and clean place 👌🏻

22/12/2025: Great pint of Guinness great atmosphere nice pub

09/12/2025: This is a great pub if I’ve ever seen one. Atmosphere is exceptional pints are delicious and crisps are great after a couple Guinness.

20/07/2025: Hi, Sitting here writing this review, we ordered breakfast. Arrived cold, they reheated the plate. Beans were burnt and pale, poached eggs were too runny, not cooked correctly to eat. This is the first review I've done, normally we let it slide if we get bad food. But this was so bad. The Service was great, waitress so apologetic, not her fault.

19/07/2025: we’ve gone here before and really loved the food. We haven’t been in about 6 months and the entire menu has changed and is way smaller now. The food is expensive for what you get, they forgot one of our sandwiches and it was rushed out to the table. The cheese wasn’t melted on any of the food, we ordered garlic cheese chips and most of the cheese was at the bottom with very little sauce. My partner found something hard in their beef toastie which seemed to be a part of a bone. Staff were very good despite everything. Food was disappointing for the price that you pay and it’s a massive downgrade from what it was.

30/07/2025: Service station on route into Wicklow, good choice of hot food with respectable food deals.

27/07/2025: The worst 99 ever purchased, slushy, icy, just not real ice cream!!!

19/12/2025: Deplorable value - not for me. I can buy a jar of coffee for less than one cup at that place. The Irish are insane buying coffee at overly inflated prices everywhere - be wise when travelling, but a thermos flask and bring the coffee with you. Save a bundle too and have your coffee on a nice place with a view - that's what I do. They don't call me Shylock without reason wink wink

23/10/2025: Great place for morning coffee stop off. Plenty of parking. Clean and tidy with pleasant staff.

28/10/2025: I tried Asian food for the first time and absolutely loved it! The udon and Tom Yum were incredibly delicious. The restaurant is very cozy and clean, and the staff are so polite and attentive. I definitely recommend this restaurant.

24/10/2025: The food wasn’t even that bad, the problem was service, the waitress was extremely rude, she kept looking in a bad way at us and practically kicked us out of the restaurant, even tho we were literally the only customers. The weather was really bad, we were soaking wet and she didn’t even care. Definitely will never go back.

24/07/2025: Amazing Chinese Food, Certainly my favorite spot to go to in Wicklow

21/07/2025: Delicious hot garlic prawn.I hope they will add some halal meats! Then I can try their some meat menu’s!
