The food is a pretty Irish menu but everything tastes great and the service is in the ball. Always go for beef medallions, but fish and chips good choice.

The Wicklow Heather Restaurant -- Glendalough Road, Laragh, Co. Wicklow A98 D983…read moreVisited: June 2026 Five stars. The Wicklow Heather is the best restaurant in the Wicklow Mountains, and a meal here is as much a part of the Glendalough experience as the ancient monastic site itself. Why The Wicklow Heather is the essential County Wicklow dining destination: Over 50 years in operation and still at the top of its game. This family-run restaurant in the village of Laragh -- minutes from Glendalough -- has earned its place as the go-to dining destination for visitors to the Wicklow Mountains National Park, and one visit explains exactly why. TripAdvisor's #1-ranked restaurant in Laragh with over 2,590 reviews, it has been nominated for Best Restaurant in Wicklow -- accolades it genuinely deserves. The food is exceptional and authentically Irish. The slow-cooked venison shank is absolutely incredible -- a dish that showcases the kitchen's commitment to quality local ingredients and traditional long-cooked techniques. The lamb's rump delivers outstanding flavor. The Full Heather breakfast -- free-range eggs, dry-cured bacon, sausages, black and white pudding, roast vine tomatoes, and grilled sourdough -- is one of the great Irish breakfasts. The Irish stew is, simply, something else entirely. All dishes are freshly prepared with locally sourced, organic produce where possible. The atmosphere is the perfect counterpart to a day in the Wicklow Mountains: warm, cozy, rustic, charming, and deeply Irish. Condé Nast Traveler calls the vibe "rustic-kitsch" and the service "like you're a local" -- both accurate. The wine list is well-curated with a fine champagne and sparkling selection, and the cocktail menu is worth exploring. For anyone asking where to eat near Glendalough, where to find the best Irish food in County Wicklow, or what to do on a day trip from Dublin to Wicklow -- eat here. The Wicklow Heather is not just a restaurant; it is part of the Irish countryside experience.

Prices are prix fixe at €26 which is more than reasonable for the quality you get. To be honest, I did not understand a quarter of the words used but regardless of your choice, the food was superbly cooked to maximise the flavour and presentation of the local ingredients. If you're unsure, just stick to the starred dishes which represent the customer favourites - Mikey went for them and were not disappointed! Service was friendly, professional and posed no urgency to shoo us from our table at any time despite the early 6 pm seating - that reminds me, book a table in advance!
