I had booked this restaurant (based upon reviews here) weeks before leaving the USA but upon arrival in Dublin got busy and almost forgot. The traffic from downtown was gridlocked but the cabbie kept us entertained with stories, and the staff was glad to see us. The food was fantastic! Great service, the pre fixe dinner plus an additional entree... More

I selected this for our last night in Dublin because of location, price and prior TripAdvisor pages. A superior choice!! My wife had Brushetta & Salmon plus a fab dessert. I enjoyed the king prawn salad which was an exotic balance of flavors and fruit, fish and chips (cod) and another dessert to savor. Three courses for two plus two... More

It's Friday. I'm working out of home and had to bring a friend on an errand to Churchtown. The place we needed to visit was closed for lunch so on a whim we decided to investigate the Arch. And we have discovered a little gem. Lunch was great value €15.oo for two courses and the food was great and beautifully... More

Made the trip out to the Arch (approx 15 euro taxi from temple bar) and was not disappointed! Food was exceptionally good, Service great - very attentive, nothing was too much trouble. Atmosphere was really nice though, relaxed, It was great. They have 25 euro "3 course deal" but it is just their entire menu that you can package up... More

We decided to try this on the strength of the Tripadvisor reviews. Yes the staff were very nice, but after that it was all just fine! The food was good but not '2nd' best in the whole city of Dublin and certainly the ambiance is fine but not a wow factor. I would call it a good casual restaurant that... More

Just got back from Dublin where one of the highlights was dining at the Arch Bistro. It's a little out of the centre of Dublin, but all the better for being off the beaten track. The staff were really friendly, attentive and helpful (and absolutely beautiful in the case of the young male waiter...) and the food was amazing and... More

This is a consistently good restaurant. Food and service are very good . Its a pity about the stairs as my wife has difficulty climbing .the steps.

I was really impressed with the quality of the food and the service in this restaurant. There is no other restaurant in Dublin delivering a dinner menu of high quality for this price. We tried the crab, foie gras parfait for starters and both were excellent. For dinner, we had the lamb two ways and pork belly and again both... More

The only restaurant I know in which you can choose in the "set menu" (25€ for 3 courses) all the available dishes that are present in the "a la carte menù". GREAT VALUE FOR MONEY! I've been there twice in a week and the service has been GREAT! The food is very good, the fishes courses are the ones I... More

I normally wouldn't expect much from a restaurant in the suburbs (especially away from a sizeable village etc.) but the Arch Bistro is probably now up there as one of my favourite restaurants in the capitol. The set menu for €25 is fantastic value, and there's a great choice, with few dishes reserved solely for the A la carte. I... More
