Mediterranean · Windsor
Right on the water at Bray Marina, this one looks unpromising from the car park and then opens out into a calm dining room where nearly every table has a river view — the sort of place that feels like a holiday lunch rather than a Tuesday. Lunchtime is the easier family slot: quieter, and the staff let you take your time between courses without hovering, which matters when someone needs to get down and look at the boats. High chairs, a kids' menu and free parking are all sorted, and buggy access is fine. The cooking is genuinely good — scallops, whole sea bass, monkfish wrapped in Parma ham, fillet steak — and people rate it well against the price, though it's still a proper sit-down meal rather than a quick one. Book a riverside table, and expect it to get lively on sunny days.
