The best restaurants in Arklow

15/08/2026: A very lovely place with so friendly people and yummiest Italian food and coffee ✨🥰🇮🇹

13/08/2026: Authentic Italian coffee shop run by Italians. Plenty of Italian charm and atmosphere with delicious Italian produce.

26/08/2026: We stumbled upon this restaurant by chance, and it was a very pleasant surprise. The staff, especially the owner, were incredibly attentive. We ordered two Irish breakfasts, which were very generous, and a special mention goes to the bread and the white and black pudding, which were absolutely delicious.

07/08/2026: The Old Ship is a gem located in Arklow. The food is consistently good as is the service and overall ambience. The staff are extremely attentive, pleasant and cannot do enough to ensure your dining experience is warm and welcoming. The food is amazing and presented with a creative flair. If you have room for dessert, the apple pie is out of this world and it comes with its own" gravy boat" of homemade custard. Hats off to the pastry chef for that creation😘 One of my favorite places to eat in the beautiful county of Wicklow.

16/08/2026: I've been to a few Asian restaurants in Ireland, but this one really stands out. They serve amazing food!! Very nice and relaxing atmosphere. Service is top. Tried a few dishes, everything was amazing. Would defo recommend this place to anyone.

07/08/2026: Amazing food and amazing service. Only regret is getting a bowl of Tom Yam instead of a pot! Will definitely be returning again and again.

08/09/2026: This is an amazing cafe, very modern, continental and really clean. The location is really relaxing, by the river. Felt like I was on holidays!! Would genuinely say, it’s the nicest cafe I’ve been to in Ireland and I’ve travelled all over and abroad! Their pastries are to so nice and fresh. Really loved the vibes. I will be back for sure. Only thing is I would prefer a dark roast coffee, and I said that but it tasted like a light roast :) well done to all involved

19/07/2026: The best "home made feel" food and old school atmosphere. The best day out ever!

06/08/2026: Please do not come here it took 20 minutes for are insanely expensive food it was 40 for 2 small burgers and 2 milkshakes and the food should be used as a torture method as it was horrible and gave us food poisoning. Please trust me and do not go here. Ps

05/08/2026: the chocolate milkshake tastes like vanilla ice cream mixed with chocolate syrup.

25/05/2026: Margot and Amelia were amazing, we loved the food, the costumes, the chats, highly recommended

29/04/2026: Afternoon tea at the vintage tea rooms in Arklow yesterday. What a great way to spend a few hours. We got to dress up in the most fabulous dresses, with gloves, hats and all kinds of wonderful accessories. Plenty of time for photos Then sat down to tea, served in china cups, with delicate sandwiches, scones and mouthwatering cakes. No rush to move us on. Staff were friendly and service was excellent Well worth a trip

15/08/2026: Love this place - the coffee is amazing and highly recommend their breakfast sandwich, with a homemade hash brown and homemade sausage patty

29/05/2026: Lovely hotel, with lovely staff. I would highly recommend this hotel. I had only booked for one night and ended up staying two.

01/08/2026: Downstairs was busy so ended upstairs and there was only two occupied tables. The vibe of the place is old school, the pop music playing did not match the atmosphere. The menu is old and wrecked. The drinks came, wine was off, and Guinness tasted bad. The glasses were dirty. Food came fast, the chips were dry and floury, is arid too harsh? The steak was well done and it's sauce obviously came from a bottle (the type poured over sdws at Spar or Centra) the onions weren't caramelized, black pepper sauce would have been better especially with mushrooms. The ciabatta seemed fresh. The fish was edible. Popcorn chicken was dry. Welcome to 1974.

27/07/2026: We had lunch here and were extremely satisfied. The food was delicious and plentiful. The price was absolutely reasonable for the quality. The service was very friendly and attentive. Highly recommended.
