Ha fast cafe for sitting in the area when visiting Glendalough and Wicklow National Park area. Had the leek and potato soup which was tasty. Soda bread was a bit thick and floury, coffee was fine. Local shop that also sells other goods aside from food. Have a look and check it out. Other places worth dining with be Lynham's Hotel Bar Restaurant and Wicklow Heather which have higher quality foods. The cafe is more for a quick stop. Lots of cyclists stopped there for a quite drink/bite. Not the greatest but worth checking out whilst in the area. Nonchalant ambiance indoors. Better off sitting outside withe views but we're crowded with cyclists the day I went.

Their is a nice big outside seating area for dining in the summer. It's wasp city tho. so if ur scared of the evil yellow demons like me, a seat inside is a must!! If not enjoy the beautiful outdoors as the setting is so pretty. The food is avoca standard, which for those who haven't had is tip top notch. Quality ingredients used to make beautiful dishes packed full of flavour. The chefs working in this cafe know what they're at. Last time I was there was for breakie. I had simple scrambled egg and toast, but my oh my. When a chef is good he/she makes even the most boring, simple dishes into a memorable experience. They were delicious. Fluffy, buttery, scrambleyy goodness. Yum. Thinking back on them and I want them again. Mum had the blueberry macadamia nut pancakes with maple and crème fraîche. She loved them. She usually doesn't like pancakes or french toast when we're out because they "over cinnamon" them, but she agreed these pancakes were scrumptious because they hadn't been messed with. I thought the macadamia nuts were a very alluring addition. Not a bad word to say about this place. The surrounding shops are commendable. Such as the furniture shop has lovely little bits and bobs. Very enjoyable potter after a delish breakfast/lunch :)

Best food in Ireland. At least, it was the best meal my wife an I had in Ireland for our 3 week…read morevacation. If you're visiting anywhere nearby, it's worth your trip to stop here. Salmon salad I ordered was amazing - freshly picked, perfectly seasoned, and salmon was cooked perfectly. Vegetable soup with bread was simple yet tasty. The menu seems to change frequently - and the place filled up quickly for lunch with people waiting so I'd suggest you make reservations. Also dessert and bread they had were amazing - better than some of the "best" places in Dublin or anywhere else. The place is in the gardens - so you will get to enjoy the view of the garden if you get a table near windows.

Our first meal in Ireland after arriving fresh off the plane at Dublin. Driving on the left side…read moreof the road for the first hour we were in Ireland was disorienting and stressful enough. All rental cars are manual transmission unless you are willing to pay an extra $400, so our first bouts with driving left us stalled on hills and shimmying into ditches on a tight 2 lane highway when a car was approaching from the opposite direction. What an adventure, when we arrived in Arklow what we needed was a great meal. Arklow is a small and quaint town with maybe 1,000 people living in it, and during daylight hours you will not see a soul walking downtown. Looking at all the pubs on the strip, I began to question if I was in The Truman Show and these food items were for display only. When we walked into Darcy's, there was maybe 4 people in the joint, we double-checked to see if it was open. The first item of business was ordering a pint of Guinness. Touristy? Sure, but I'd rather have a Guinness mustache than a milk mustache anyday. The waitress handed us our menu and it was typical Irish pub food that you would get in the states, but with the addition of panini's and pasta. The casserole with Guinness was sold out so I opted for the lasagna based on a waitress recommendation. We also ordered another pasta dish, the roast beef, and a panini. All were great and tasted as you would expect from an Irish pub, which means warm and hearty. My lasagna had a layer of cheese on top that was maybe an inch thick. It might have been cheddar and it was overdone, but it was quite cracking. They paired lasagna with french fries, which would be a no-no in the states where we typically include a salad or soup with pasta. If you are in Arklow I'd recommend stopping by.

Arklow is a small enough town, where during the day you hardly see anyone! None of the cafes are…read moreever that packed and the shops seem to just tick over without anything really interesting happen. The sun goes down and all of a sudden everyone seems to just appear! A popular spot would be the likes of Sally O'Briens, also on the main street, where the moment 10pm hits suddenly becomes packed! Anyone who's read any of my previous reviews will know that I'm not mad on places where you have to enter mosh-pit conditions just to get a drink and can hardly have a conversation over the sheer noise of everyone around you. This is why when I discovered Darcy McGee's I was so happy!!! Tucked away just off the main street, you'd miss it if you weren't looking for it. The locals I've met claimed that it's "expensive" but in reality, the difference in price is only by about 10 or 20 cent on average. I know there's a recession going on but you shouldn't blacklist a place for being expensive unless they're asking for you to re-mortgage your house every time you want a beer. Anyway, that evening I had gone to dinner with my girlfriend and we fancied having a quick drink before heading home. I mentioned Darcy McGee's to her and that I'd love to just have a drink there to check it out. So, Eh... We went to Darcy McGee's... For starters, walking into the place you feel like you're entering some sort of secret club. The décor is very cosy, the seats comfortable and most of all, it was spotless! Seriously, I've always noticed that while the majority of pubs are clean there's a sort of untidiness about them. This place was clean, tidy and very well presented. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable. [side note] I don't know about you guys, but it really bugs me when you go to a pub and the staff give you a "Hot Fuzz" response when you ask them what wine they sell... "We've got red... Or... White!" [/side note] We ordered a bottle of wine and it was cheaper than we expected, circling around the €15 mark. We headed out to the smoking area and enjoyed an evening engaging in the time-old Irish pastime of getting slightly less sober while solving the world's problems without actually doing anything about it. Wow, this is a long review... I love this place. I love the atmosphere, the friendly staff, the comfy chairs, the excellent smoking area etc. etc. etc. If you're in Arklow any time soon, go here!
