Lunch in Bray

Hepsie

Our family is visiting Dublin for the weekend... we are exploring the areas which we may consider living and thought lunch in Bray would be a great idea. Can anyone recommend a good, family friendly place for lunch.

Thanks!

The Martello
Platform Pizza Bar
The Porterhouse

They are all on the seafront

That was quick - thanks. I'll check them out. We're going to visit the Sealife Centre too while there.

The Barracuda restaurant is in the same building and has a nice menu.

Creamy Goodness

have never had a good meal in the barracuda, always bad service. last time i was there in a party of 6 one person got a main course that wasn't even on the menu!

i'd add hollands to the list. does nice pub food and is on the main street.

Another vote for Holland's - they have recently completely overhauled their menu and it's really excellent quality now.

Holland's nice. Also Campo de Fiori opposite the Sealife Centre offer a very nice lunch menu as well.

I have actually made the exact opposite experience to creamy goodness when it comes to the new Barracuda: all my meals with family and guests in the Barracuda were of great quality and the service was always very good.

Having said that, I started going when it was the Beach Hut or House and continued when it changed back to the Barracuda. I am not sure what it was like in the old Barracuda though.

Ocean restaurant does a lovely lunch and platform pizza right beside it

Don't know how people rate Martello or Porterhouse I personally don't find quality of food that good. For pub grub I would also go for Holland's. Had lunch there and was pleasantly surprised.

Also really like Campo De Fiori risto market but it's a bit of a messy/cramped layout for a group.

Ocean Cafe Bar is quite good.

Barracuda is not bad but expensive for what you get. I find them a bit up themselves there. Pity as the view of the seafront and decor is great.

Bray really still needs more food options.

Take the road directly facing sealife, to the side of campo De fiori, and there's an Italian deli/ informal cafe which Is an offshoot of the restaurant. Food and coffee excellent, and theres a good selection of wines. Highly recommended:D

That's the Campo De Fiori Risto Market.

As I said already I don't really think it's suitable if the group is more than 4 though.
