A Day In Bray With Cheesecake

What can I say about Bray its one of my all time favourite places to visit. I love the seaside. You can’t beat a walk along the promenade with a 99 ice cream (sprinkles, red sauce and a flake). You have that sea breeze that’ll have you asleep by 8pm. If that doesn’t do the trick you could always try the walk from Bray head to Greystones, that’ll surely tire you out and it’s definitely worth it. The views from the walking route are out of this world. Nothing beats the views from the coast of Ireland. We’re one lucky nation. 

My favourite stop for a bite to eat after a fun day of sea life exploring or hill walking is The Anchor. This lovely spot sits facing the seaside and bandstand. Originally we picked this location from two options. They both offered cheesecake so it was a very difficult decision as you can imagine. I chose The Anchor for the Ferrero Roche Cheesecake and their great selection of food.

Back then we were relying on the tram to get us back home so although I got to enjoy every bit of my delicious meal I unfortunately had to wolf down my cheesecake and didn’t get to fully savour all the flavours before we had to run for the tram. I have attached a photo for you to enjoy. It was a sandwich style cheesecake decorated with ice cream, strawberries and chocolate sauce. It was delicious. 

Don’t worry though I returned and was absolutely blown away by the facelift that The Anchor had undergone. It was even better than I remembered and this time we had a car. After a great day walking the Bray to Greystones route I was able to sit down, relax and savour every bit of the new menu including the new Maltesers Cheesecake. 

I chose their Chicken on a bed of mash potatoes and vegetables. The mash was delicious and creamy. The cheesecake was a crunchy and chocolate filled dream. I'd definitely like to try my own version of this. Hopefully I'll have a recipe posted for this in a later post so keep your eye out.

The Anchor is a great spot. The staff there are very friendly and the food is absolutely delicious. It’s great value for money too. They offer outdoor dining with sea views. So if you are lucky enough to be in Wicklow at the moment get yourself down to The Anchor, if not wait out the storm but make sure you try it next time you find yourself in Bray.
