One of my favourite places on the planet! Simply the kindest, most adorable and welcoming owners Rebecca and Tony. No matter the weather, these two will be sure to warm your soul. The panini, cakes, and espressos are out of this world. All freshly made with perfectly balanced flavours. Thank you both for the many hours of exceptional hospitality and for always making me feel at home!
Loved this place. A very nice restauant close to the Seafront in Bray. Great location.
A very nice lady took my order. Very friendly. A good selection. I noticed a wine menu available but l am reasonably sure l didnt notice beer on sale.
A small premises with a great athmosphere. I am not 100% sure wheelechair friendly, as l already mentioned a small premises, but please do not let that put you of, please check for yourself.
Paid street parking available.
Great value.
Well worth a visit.
This restaurant is a real hidden gem! The focaccia was fantastic, and the meaty lasagna and the desserts were equally delicious. You could really taste the high quality of the ingredients used – it's clear that the owner cares deeply about maintaining a high standard.
The staff and owner were also very friendly. We will certainly be back.
