Food was beautiful. Battered fish was so light and fresh. Sweet potato fries were best I've ever had. Staff were so helpful and accommodating. Service 10/10. Food 10/10. One of my favourite places to visit

Always our go-to place for brunch in Bray. We have been here multiple times over the last few years and always enjoyed our meals. Staff are nice as well, and the food quality is great. Sometimes there might be a wait, but it’s worth it.
