Had lunch yesterday food was lovely couldnt fault. Service VERY slow staff seemed distracted wasnt overly busy had to request repeatedly for water. Bathrooms used to be kept lovely and clean with a extra touch, now they have a strong smell of urine. Seems like it has become ran down since we last visited. Disappointing
What a lovely surprise once you walked through the door!
A bar/bistro in its original form.
Even though the bartender and waitress were only two in a room that was filling up quickly, they were friendly and cheerful. The service was fast (great for an evening), the presentation was beautiful, and the food was excellent! The portions were generous and reasonably priced. The only downside was the tiramisu: it wasn't soaked enough, there wasn't enough coffee, and the cream was very heavy.
Otherwise, everything was perfect!
Food was good. Fajitas with beef were great, cajun chicken Alfredo had a nice sauce but chicken was pretty plain.
Service was very slow but nice and professional.
We hat a sticky toffee pudding which was nice but overpriced.
Unfortunately like everything in Ireland now it's just too expensive. €9 for dessert and a small dessert at that is just overpriced imo. Our meal consisted of 2 starters, 3 mains, 3 desserts, 2 soft drinks a wine and a beer and it was €143. Factor in a tip and it's over €150. I could have spent the night in a hotel for that. We had to ask several times for our drinks. Lovely staff though but price will always dictate returning customers unfortunately.
20/11/2025: Absolutely wonderful place ❤ food was to die for haven't enjoyed a meal like that in ages I had the steak sandwich and it was cooked beautifully 😋 himself had the full breakfast and said it was the nicest he's had in a cafe. Can't wait to eat here again! Next time I'm in Claremorris this will be the first place we stop. 5 star all the way
13/10/2025: I used Araby Cofffee House to cater a private party for 70 people and it was such a success! Ciara was very easy to work with and made it simple. She was realistic when it came to quantities and the cost was very reasonable. I wanted only vegetarian food and it was delicious - people even asked for the recipies! Ciara came at the appointed time with all that was needed (plates etc included) and discreetly set everything up and collected it the next day. I would really recommend and can't wait to eat in the cafe soon!
