Located within the five-star Powerscourt Hotel Resort & Spa in Enniskerry, The Sally Gap Bar and Brasserie offers relaxed dining in elegant surroundings overlooking the Wicklow countryside. Named after the famous mountain pass nearby, the restaurant combines the comfort of a modern brasserie with the luxury associated with one of Ireland's best-known resort hotels. It's a popular choice for hotel guests, as well as visitors exploring Powerscourt Estate and the surrounding area.
The menu takes a brasserie-style approach, focusing on seasonal Irish produce and locally sourced ingredients. Dishes are designed to showcase the quality of regional suppliers through accessible, flavour-led cooking. While the offering changes throughout the year, the emphasis remains on fresh ingredients and well-executed classics that suit everything from a casual lunch to a leisurely evening meal. A carefully curated drinks list sits alongside the food menu, with wines, cocktails and other beverages available throughout the day.
Inside, the space is polished yet welcoming. Wooden floors, comfortable seating and soft lighting create a relaxed atmosphere, while a central bar acts as the focal point of the room. Large windows help fill the restaurant with natural light and make the most of the surrounding views, giving the dining room a bright and open feel. A variety of seating options allows the brasserie to accommodate couples, families and larger groups with ease.
The combination of comfortable surroundings and scenic views makes The Sally Gap a versatile dining destination, whether you're stopping by for drinks, lunch or dinner. Its location within the resort also makes it a convenient option for those spending the day at Powerscourt House and Gardens or enjoying a stay at the hotel.
