Top Best Japanese Restaurants in Bray

"Zakura is located on two hidden locations in the city centre, but once you found it you’ll be sure to enjoy it. On TripAdvisor people talk about Zakura as a “hidden gem”. Try their Bento Box, which is very reasonably priced and great for lunch."

"Amazing Korean food may not be something you’d expect to find in a traditional Irish pub, yet Kimchi Hophouse is not only Ireland’s oldest Korean restaurant but also arguably the best. Opened in 2005, this pub serves up a lunch menu featuring classic dishes like bulgogi, kimchi stew and spicy chilli pork for just €10 (£8.94), and the staff is happy to explain which dishes can accommodate vegetarians. For dinner, the Korean Tapas menu is brimming with reasonably priced delights such as pumpkin croquettes and deep-fried octopus."

"Average Spend: Lunch Mains €9 approx; Dinner Mains €13 approx. A shining star among the dozens of Asian restaurants that have opened on Parnell Street, Hop House combines a pub and restaurant to create a buzzing new venue that offers exceptional value. The dining room is airy and humming with the atmosphere radiating from the bar next door."

"Banyi will provide you with a night of Japanese craft and cuisine. Located on Abbey Street they serve up handmade sushi, fresh sashimi and a wide range of traditional Japanese dishes. If you are looking for something fun to do this weekend, try their sushi masterclass and tasting menu."

"At Banyi Japanese Dining, the rolls are amazing and the atmosphere is, too. Dinner reservations are advised, especially if you are planning to come here during the weekend. You can make a reservation by calling the restaurant."

"Started off as one little place down an alleyway in Ranelagh but they have been on a massive expansion push lately with a bunch of new premises. If anything this shows just how popular sushi is becoming in Dublin."

"The restaurant first opened as a takeaway in Ranelagh in 2007 before growing in popularity and eventually establishing two other locations in Sandyford and Dun Laoghaire."

"George’s Street Arcade has been in operation since the late 1800s|© Kevin George / Alamy Stock Photo. Serving Dublin since 1881, this enclosed Victorian market has a charming red-bricked interior housing over 50 stalls. Ranging in size and scale, the vendors here sell everything from authentic falafel to art, memorabilia and coin collections."

"The Victorian redbrick George’s Street Arcade houses several stalls and stores. There’s a lot to discover in this arcade, from high fashion clothing and accessories to funky gear to custom and costume jewellery. There are also stalls and shops offering fortune telling, hairstyling and specialty items."

"Often described as a wonderful place to escape for a great day out, Killruddery is conveniently located on the outskirts of the capital where Dublin meets Wicklow.There’s so much to see and explore. Nature has never been more relaxing with leisurely walks in one of Ireland’s most renowned gardens, filled with beautiful planting and wooded areas, water features and distinctive outdoor rooms."

"Take some time out of your day in Dublin to discover the Dublin Castle, and you’ll find yourself falling for the unique combination of fortified architecture and culture. Steeped in history that includes both Viking and medieval times, the Dublin Castle was the seat of English power until 1922. Today, the space itself is constantly put to use as an immersive teaching tool, to inform locals and visitors alike about the region’s history and continued importance."

"Dating back to the early 13th century, when Vikings established their headquarters here, this medieval structure stands as a relic of British rule over Ireland. Today the well-preserved estate offers a glimpse into the way previous generations lived and hosts exhibits on art, fashion, and other Irish history artifacts. Tickets for guided tours are recommended, especially if you're eager to see the interior apartments and historic quarters."

"Dublin Castle is not quite a castle as you might be expecting, although there has been a castle on this site since around 1166. In fact, the only real “castle” looking part of Dublin Castle is the Record Tower, which dates from 1228."

"This purpose-built children’s theatre and exhibition space in the cultural quarter of Temple Bar hosts performances of music, theatre and dance, as well as workshops and exhibitions for kids. Opening its doors in September 1995, The Ark was named to communicate the mission of the project: a place for “safe, adventurous voyaging”. Accommodating little ones from aged two to 12, it saw over 200,000 children come through its doors in its first 10 years of operation, producing programmes in partnership with Dublin-based festivals such as Dublin Theatre Festival, Dublin Dance Festival and Temple Bar Tradfest."

"A creative space and cultural centre for children, the Ark has a calendar full of events, workshops and more for kids, year-round. With its own child-friendly theatre and award-winning facilities, the Ark has been nurturing creative minds since the mid-1990s. They frequently collaborate with regular Dublin arts festivals (based around the likes of literature, theatre and dance), so it’s worth checking their site in advance of a visit in case there’s something coming up that your family would be especially interested in."

"Your first stop for entertaining kids of all ages, even the adult ones. Workshops, tours, plays, events, exhibitions, music, art and performance: as they say themselves, there’s always something going on at The Ark. Tickets are pretty reasonably priced (about €12), with discounts for groups."

"Restored to its original splendor, Dublin City Hall is worth a visit to see its spectacular entrance hall and grand rotunda. The multimedia exhibits on the lower level remain a feast for people interested in the history of Dublin. Want more Dublin inspiration?"

"This beautiful Georgian structure was originally built by Thomas Cooley as the Royal Exchange between 1769 and 1779, and botched in the mid-19th century when it became the offices of the local government (hence..."

"Built of Portland stone between 1898 and 1906 and modeled on St. Paul's Cathedral in London, this Renaissance Revival–style edifice—the…"

"For hearty portions and low prices, you can’t beat this casual restaurant which specialises in big, bold French flavours (although it must be noted that this is a less authentic French experience when compared to other options our list). Le Bon Crubeen has the added benefit of being close to the Abbey Theatre, so makes the perfect pre-show spot to enjoy a bite to eat. While the atmosphere might be casual, that doesn’t mean there isn’t finesse here."

"Le Bon Crubeen on Talbot Street has one of the best-value menus in Dublin, considering the incredible standard of their food. Nicely decorated, we would definitely recommend this place to anyone who appreciates good food. REVIEW: An Anti-Trendy Haven Where The Plates Are Big And The Prices Are Small"

"It’s not hard to spot L'Gueuleton from a distance thanks to its signature striped awnings out the front. Once inside you’ll find a cosy convivial atmosphere, where menus are presented to you on communal blackboards for an authentic French feel. Dishes are split up into ‘petit plats’ and ‘grand plats’ with the former featuring things like steak tartare and moules mariniere, while the more substantial offering includes steak frites, seafood and plates of pasta."

"You can sit outside nursing a glass of wine in the sun and watching the hustle and bustle of Fade Street or tuck yourself away from the madness inside. The venue is huge with a homely, rustic feel to it - tables are lit by candle and 70s music played across the room. The food is surprisingly good, all with a French twist so if you're a fan of foie gras and onion soup this is the place for you."

"Housed in what looks like an old-fashioned butcher’s window, L’Gueuleton has the feel of up-style, comfortable French dining. With red brick walls, blackboard menus and dark, wooden furniture, there is a romantic atmosphere. The building and atmosphere exude rustic charm with industrial beams and copper ceiling."
