Where To Eat
Wicklow Wolf 2 second walk :)
Firehouse pizza right around the corner from us. What more could you want?
Grain Store, Killruddery House ~18 minute drive
The Killruddery restaurant is located on an absolutely stunning 800 acre estate. We have never fully been able to grasp the beauty of the House & Gardens - you will have to see them to believe us. The chefs make use of the fresh fruit and vegetables grown on the land as well as their own meat, in the food they create. DELISH.
Avoca Kilmacanogue/ Powerscourt ~12/20 minute drive respectively
If you are looking for a luxury food, wine and clothing shopping experience, Avoca is your spot. Their store in Kilmacanogue is a hotspot for locals as well as tourists. They serve mouthwatering food in their cafe as well as food-to-go that can be enjoyed in their beautiful gardens or on your way to our winery! Their cafe in Powerscourt overlooks the Powerscourt Gardens which was voted no.3 in the World’s Top 10 Gardens by The National Geographic. Definitely a must see.
Fishers of Newtownmountkennedy ~4 minute drive/ 17 minute walk
Fishers is the perfect spot if you are looking for somewhere to go that is right on our doorstep. Alongside food, they sell a range of clothing, shoes, and gifts.
We have such incredible restaurants in our area with so many options. Bray and Greystones are hot spots for wonderful food, drink, and culture with a large array of cuisines available. These include Harbour Bar, Platform Pizza, Daata Tandoori, Chakra and so many others that we couldn’t even begin to write out an exhaustive list! Trust us - Wicklow is somewhere you have to explore.
