A small and unassuming restaurant on the main street, but you'll find a real gem there. Friendly service, a captivating ambiance, a bar in the middle of the restaurant, and a very well-organized menu are a real eye-catcher. High-quality meat and well-seasoned dishes.
It's worth a visit!
Our experience at the Old Arch Restraunt Claremorris Mayo was not what we had hoped it would be for the prices they charge. Booked our table for 5pm on Fathers Day in the restraunt Arrived at 4.55pm and no table ready. After a 15 min wait we were lead to the out door area to be seated which I refused as I had booked the restraunt. We were then told we would have to wait another half hour for a table and to have a drink at the bar. We had to ask for a table to be cleared so we could sit and have our drinks while patiently waiting. Might I add no appology give any stage. When we finally got seated the service was poor. Dishes left at the end of tables for us to pass around ourselves. Flies at the entrance door and flies around the restraunt. Very,very poor so we wont be back
We have just had the most amazing lunch at The Old Arch
My husband and I shared mussels to start which was delicious . To follow I had the goats cheese in filo pastry my husband had the beef and
Guineas casserole. I could not tell you which was the best because both where just amazing and so much food.
To finish we had pavlova and a trio of ice cream.
A 500ml of Shiraz wine and a cocktail .
All of it , including the service, blew us away.
No wonder it’s so busy it must have been the voted the best restaurant in Ireland .
Well done. I need a nap now.
