The best restaurants in Arklow

11/05/2025: Just one word. Amazing. We were in Arklow for a swimming competition and we were looking for a coffee on Sunday morning at 8 AM. We found this little wonderful place and were greeted by the owners. We ended up having coffee and later on in day we had lunch. The food is just amazing and the atmosphere too. Will come back for sure.

19/05/2025: I would like to extend my deepest thanks to the entire team at The Old Ship for hosting us so wonderfully in your restaurant. My son had an absolutely delightful time, and the evening was truly special. The food was exquisite—everyone who attended was full of praise and gratitude for such a delicious dinner. The warm atmosphere, the friendly smiles, and the exceptional service all contributed to making the experience unforgettable. A special thank you for the beautiful room decorations, which created the perfect setting. I walked in, took my seat, and was able to fully enjoy my son’s communion without a single worry. You took care of everything with such professionalism and kindness. Congratulations to all of you on the incredible job you do. From the bottom of my heart, I highly recommend The Old Ship to everyone—an outstanding five-star experience!

30/05/2025: Been to a few functions here and they never disappoint. Food is lovely and is served hot and fresh. Live music on some nights and a couple of snugs if you want some privacy to catch up with friends and get some food. Perfect venue for parties and the food platters are always served full of a variety of food. Staff are also really nice and friendly and very accommodating 👌

18/04/2025: Oh my God the Wings …. Best Take Away in Arklow by Far but I’m calling on the good citizens of Arklow to form a protest outside until the Hot Chicken Wings are returned to the menu !!!!!

05/04/2025: Made to feel very welcome by the owners and she helped with my menu choice. The katsu curry is identical to wagamamas and delicious. Only comment is that the plate was a bit small so not much room to.move things around. Will definitely be back for the lamb curry she recommends and also I saw Mongolian beef which is another one of my favourites if it is like pfchangs... :)
