It boasts being recognized in the top 100 restaurants by the New York Sunday Times and is in the Michelin guide. Quite possibly one of the most cozy, welcoming places one could find off the beaten path in Ireland. Gorgeous, old-world interior with wood stoves and fireplaces in every room, deep padded armchairs you can lose yourself in. Sink into one of these, accompanied by an excellent cup of tea, crusty buttery croissant with fresh made grass-fed cow cream and admire tons of fun little Tchotchkes and handmade crafts, many of which are for sale. Attentive and smiley staff to boot. A pleasant repaste for a lazy weekend morning!

I came in thirsting wildly for a Guinness, but when I saw him meticulously preparing a Whiskey Sour with his own special touches, I pivoted to that. Just like my wife's "White Linen", we could not have been happier with our cocktails! Also, it just so happened that Wednesdays are "Pizza Night" so we went to the pizzeria/mini grocer connected to The Coach House and ordered our fresh, delicious, pizzas that were delivered to us back at the bar. The Coach House has several different eating rooms, each with its own look and feel. We were very comfortable just eating at the bar and picking Roan's brain for his secret cocktail recipes!!

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.

While waiting for my food, I enjoyed browsing the impressive collection of books on display.

But i have to admit HANDS DOWN this is my favorite place in the world to eat fish and chips. The twin husband and wife team that run this restaurant are extremely friendly and welcoming people. Its a small place that has several sit down tables to dine in. The fish and chips is one you have to try for yourself but for me its a place i crave al year long and a must visit spot when i return to Ireland. If you ever find yourself in the area please visit pipers and when done take a quick stroll next door and have a few pints at The Brooke Irish Pub.

I was only out in DL for a sunny walk but got a lovely smell of chips as I passed their stall on…read morethe pier so I got into the queue and got the classic fish and chip. Pricey enough at €8.50 but the price was worth it. You get two battered fish pieces and a helping of chips, all tucked into a paper recyclable tray. The chips were good, had a unique taste to them can't figure it out but was nice. The fish pieces well they just melted in your mouth. It really is their speciality. on display is a few live crabs which I presume are on the menu for anyone who wants to try, maybe next time I might :) Only downside is it's a take away only (of course since it's located on a trailer on the pier) and with that if its cold or rainy you'll be queuing up and eating in the bad weather. Still if you are out walking it's going to be good enough weather It can also get very busy as there is a lot of walkers around that area And parking is limited in the area but you may find a space in front of the nearby yacht club.

Unfortunately, I can't give a review for the food at this establishment because we were turned away…read moreat the door. We arrived around 45 minutes before their posted closing time. We were staying at the Haddington House Hotel, just an eight minute walk from the restaurant, and when we arrived, we waited at the front to be seated as a sign at the door requested. A young man indicated that he'd be back in just a moment to seat us, or so we thought. . However, when he returned he said "Oh, I'm so sorry but we're not seating anyone else for dinner, but you can take away food." Needless to say, we declined that offer. Why would we wait for them to cook food for us to take away, when we could also be seated in the restaurant and eat that same food? That made no sense. The restaurant was full but there was an empty table for two at the front, and another party was paying their bill and preparing to leave. We had seen from reviews that the place is popular and gets good reviews, but didn't expect we'd be told we couldn't be seated, . After regrouping, we decided to take our business to Bubba's Fish. Market in Dalkey,. Just three stops away on the Dart. Their Google listing indicated that their kitchen closes at 9 pm. By the time we got going, it was already a little after 8 pm, but we hopped on the train and got there by 8:25. Instead of being turned away, we were greeted at the door by the hostess and told we could sit wherever we'd like. Such a different reception, and we had a fabulous meal. Our experience at The Fish Shack was inexplicable and disappointing to say the least, but God turned it around for good because we had a wonderful experience, at a welcoming place at Bubba's! Who knows if we'll ever make it back to Ireland again, but if we do, we'll never go back to the Fish Shack again.
