Drogheda doesn't seem like it's exactly buzzing with interesting places to eat, and it was by pure…read moreluck that we came across d'Vine on a sunny Sunday afternoon. The two connecting dining rooms are amazing and cozy, with a big bar counter at the back, wine racks and a huge assortment of whimsical objects or artwork around the place. Upstairs there's a terrace where you can fully enjoy their tapas menu and maybe even go for a cocktail. There's a set dishes menu, a smaller tapas menu and also the specials of the day, written on a big blackboard - that our hostess kindly perched on a chair in front of our table, improptu style. In both fixed menus there are many vegetarian and/or gluten free options. The wine list was interesting enough, though not perfect. I managed to find a beautiful spanish Verdejo there, so that must count for something. We were served delicious food and the only thing I can point is that my vegetarian stuffed zucchini had a bit too much cheese, but other than that everything was good and their special of the day, salmon, was cooked perfectly. Unfortunately we were both too full to try the desserts, but at least we got to to wrap our lunch up with a nice espresso.

The server was quite attentive and provides clarity on a number of items This is not a "irish" menu. It's a creative menu featuring Irish ingredients. Starters were the Beetroot Salad and the Sourdough Bread. The former was all fresh veg. The latter griddled and served with a sun dried tomato butter. High Level stuff I had the fish if the day Blow Torched Cod with clams served over a parsnip emulsion and with a bier blanc sauce. Absolutely spot on. King scallops and polenta fries were paired for another main. It was very good with a pesto sauce. Also on the table was the Cauliflower Steak, the vegetarian option, it was reportedly good but not too filling. Don't get me wrong, vegetarian and vegans have strong options here. Lastly, the burger and chips were on the table. They disappeared quickly. High Marks for this place

The food is usually really good here, but this visit was disappointing overall. The corn croquettes were cheesy and tasty, which was a nice highlight. However, the potatoes in my salad tasted stale, and the grilled cabbage side was mushy rather than having any crunch or depth of flavour. The bacon jam on the burger was not pleasant, and the fried onion ring was soggy and stale. I'm not sure if it was just an off day or if something has changed in the kitchen, but with so many other great options around, I don't think I'll be coming back anytime soon.

Loved the pacing of the meal, we had it over the course of three hours and didn't feel in any way rushed which was so lovely. My favourite thing was getting to eat delicious very high end food in a more casual and relaxed environment, there was nothing stuffy or pretentious about the place, which can be the case in a lot of fine dining restaurants. We sat by the window and was lovely to see out on to all the fabulous colourful barges on the canal. Will 100% be back and telling everyone about here! A+

You will notice they are all italian which gave me an even more confident my coffee would be amazing. #2: Vegan option: I'm not vegan but they have great vegan option for vegans. But the non-vegan options were delicious as well. The croissant I ordered was buttery, and flaky. The strawberry jam tastes like home made without any added sugar. #3: Affordability: Compared to Dublin, this place is a steal. Finally: A++ go get your coffee and food so you can go walk around Bray or even hike up that mountain.

Cats! Books! Wine! Fresh, authentic Italian food! Owned and staffed by Italians!…read more This little gem, only a couple dozen metres from the Bray DART station, is quaint and cozy. It only holds about 15 people. But the food, coffee, and service is about as good as it gets. These people are passionate about what they do. I come specifically for the awesome vegan Caravaggio sandwich (on ciabatta). Everything is freshly made by them and unlike anything you will get anywhere else. Except maybe Italy! There are usually lots of Italian customers there, speaking Italian. This is a very good sign. The place is full of interesting old books people are free to browse. A quirk is an underlying 'cat' theme. Quotes and pictures about cats all over. Hand drawn images of cats by customers also adorn the walks, as to Italian record albums. I come way out of my way to come here regularly and will continue to as long as possible. Note: their fabulous bread selection comes fresh daily from the Firehouse bakery in Delgany.
