The best restaurants in Arklow

17/09/2025: Completely delicious authentic Italian! I really recommend this restaurant! I had the Burrata salad and my other half had the tomato soup. We walked around for a bit and had to come for dessert. The cannolis are divine and cheesecake is supreme!

17/09/2025: Authentic Italian restaurant, owned and managed by an awesome Italian couple. The food, coffee and desserts were great!

12/07/2025: Just popped in as i was passing through. Really nice staff. Food was good except for pepper sauce. Nice atmosphere

03/07/2025: Renovated place, new owner, nice place where you can eat well and cheaply, the food is tasty and fresh

26/08/2025: Lovely place and decor, great food and plenty seating on 2 levels and open air sheltered. Lovely staff, free parking. Can't go wrong.

26/07/2025: I love this place! They have omelettes on their breakfast menu. I always struggle to find low-carb breakfast items, so I was pleasantly surprised when I saw their omelettes on the menu. Went for the mushroom, spinach and feta and was not disappointed. The coffee is a bit on the bitter side for my liking. But only a bit. Service is top-notch; super friendly staff. Also, important: their toilet is super clean. I will definitely be back!

06/09/2025: Wow 🤩 just had stunning family meal here. The food was beautifully presented and tasted amazing. Highly recommended. It is our new favourite place to go when we come to visit my brother and sister in law xx

26/08/2025: What can I say about this place? It’s fabulous. The food was wonderful and the old country atmosphere is what we all come to Ireland for. Some places have and The Old Ship Inn has it. They have a picture tucked away above the transition between eating areas that is a last supper rendition with the queen of Hollywood class Marilyn Monroe flanked by the Hollywood greats of years gone past. You go to this pub for the nostalgia of older Ireland. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Take your time, there is no rush to go anywhere.

21/08/2025: We went in Tapau yesterday and such incredible surprise. I thought would be amazing but was much over our expectations. Really one of the best food that we had for a while. And the girls on the staff are very very friendly. They even took a pictures of us there. We loved! We went from Dublin just to see around Arklow, but already considered to come back just to stop by Tapau again 🥰

16/08/2025: Waited nearly two hours for a home delivery which was incredibly disappointing after being told 50 minutes. Called after about 1 hour and 20 was just told the driver was on the way. Still took another 25 minutes to arrive. No real apology for it and food was only alright.

22/08/2025: Fantastic vegan fare!! Was disappointed when I arrived too late the evening before to the Happy Pear. Ran into Fergus the next day who guided me to his daughters restraunt in Arklow, which exceeded my expectations for high quality, whole food, plant based food! Delish!! And Thanx for shouting me lunch Fergus! Definitely one of the highlights of my 2300 km bike tour around Ireland!

10/07/2025: We dined beneath sun umbrellas in Loco Grocer's garden this week and what a treat! I chose the Melt and my daughter had a Coronation Chicken sandwich. Both were inventive and the mix of flavours was delicious. Each person who dealt with us was engaging, friendly and very efficient. We'll definitely be back!

11/09/2025: We've travelled in Nepal a few times so we were attracted to this restaurant whilst visiting Arklow. So glad we tried it, fantastic food and service. We should have noted the servers name a really pleasant guy from Nepal. Belated thanks for a very enjoyable evening. We also liked the tables etc. Interesting to note many positive reviews one particularly negative. The negative one certainly not our experience. We will definately visit again if back in Arklow. Namaste 🙏

02/08/2025: An absolute recommendation for fans of Victorian England and Ireland! A wonderful atmosphere, similar to the series Bridgerton! We received such a wonderfully warm welcome and were so well dressed! The tea and the delicacies arranged on a tiered stand were excellent, and they asked how we were. Thank you so much for the wonderful and warm experience!

11/08/2025: Excellent food, lovely service (the owner, when she found out I was vegetarian, gifted me a bottle of vegan oyster sauce for me to try out at home) and beautiful view of the river as well. It was our first time in Arklow and we'll definitely be eating here next time we visit.

07/08/2025: Lovely place for a nice peaceful round of golf and food was brilliant and staff were even better...

18/09/2025: The staff was very friendly, but unfortunately the place was unassuming. The food was good.

16/09/2025: Ate here on one of our nights out in lanzarote and other than some language barrier issues the overall experience was good. Ambience was good and no delays in between services. Overall we had a nice mixture of starters and mains and all were all well received. Some dishes did come out wrong but were swapped with out issue so a slight language barrier. I got the duck as my main and it was delicious.

11/09/2025: A lovely atmosphere, everything served on time, friendly and pleasant service!!

24/06/2025: On those frequent, hungry occasions when I find myself craving a burger, Eddie Rocket’s of Parnell Street is always my first stop. The team here is the best; the service is friendly and quick, the food is cooked with touches of grace and perfection, and a fine meal can be had for a reasonable price. I had the pleasure of feasting here with eleven of my good friends, and it was one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a long, long time. If you’re going to go for Eddie Rocket’s get to Parnell Street by any means available— it will surely be worth your while.

24/06/2025: Thanks to the machinations of certain Friends in High Places, I recently received Eddie Rocket's vouchers to the tune of three hundred euros. I quickly assembled a troupe and began marching on the place. This "March on Eddie's" proved successful; we quickly found a table for our group (we were twelve in total). We all ordered different meal combos. For my part, I ordered a Manhattan Burger with the Fries and Soda combo. Others ordered milkshakes, which I managed to steal a few sips from. I must say, the milkshakes in Eddie Rocket's are truly malts to mail home about! They were flaked to all our fancies. Our servers were extremely gracious and hospitable, especially the male server who took this photo. We didn't get your name, but you're a saint!
