Allens of Armagh is a gift shop with an upstairs cafe. I visited the cafe today and thoroughly…read moreenjoyed it. It's a bright cafe with a mix of mismatched chairs and tables. There's a counter at which you order and pay for your food before taking a seat and waiting for it to be brought to you. Unfortunately as is the case with most Armagh cafés there wasn't a huge vegetarian selection. Though there was a tasty looking carrot and orange soup on offer and a sandwich bar with a wide range of fillings. The menu board did list some hot meals but as those consisted mainly of meat dishes I ignored them. I choose a brie, salad and red onion jam sandwich on brown bread which I shared with my friend as neither of us happened to be very hungry. This sandwich was absolutely delicious and well filled with fresh, tasty ingredients. My Americano coffee was great and my friend enjoyed her loose leaf tea which came in such a generous pot she managed to get three cups out of it! Costing approximately £7 in total we thought our light lunch good value for such great quality and portion sizes. Staff were pleasant and I will definitely return, but it would be nice to see a couple of veggie hot dishes available in future...

They also sell Christmas trees, decorations and ornaments coming up to Christmas plus a fantastic range of soybean, clean burning, scented candles. I'm personally not a fan of getting a bunch of flowers as a gift as I would prefer a potted plant that lives for ages. But others love receiving flowers, thus I would strongly recommend this florists.

Decorbrite is the main store to visit in Armagh for quality household products either as gifts or…read morefor yourself. I absolutely love their range of Denby, Galway Crystal, Willow Tree and Le Creuest. There are also some beautiful wine glasses and cheese board sets which are perfect for entertaining. Items from Decorbrite are not cheap, instead they are high quality, though they are much better value than comparable stores in Belfast. In addition there are often special offers, discounts and sales on so it pays to keep an eye on this shop and pop in frequently. Sales staff are genuinely lovely and helpful and allow you to just browse about as you wish without hovering over you. You'll also find Dyson vacuum cleaners, Pyrex kitchenware, furniture and Irish themed gifts which tourists will appreciate. Great shop, great staff and great stock.

If you need luxury interior design Wrights should be your first stop. This beautiful Georgian…read morebuilding at 10 Russell Street in Armagh is their show house and has a quaint basement cafe as well. Plus there's a gift shop on site where you can pick up smaller treats if you're not planning on refurbishing a whole house or room. I've never used Wrights interior design services personally but some of my friends have and their homes are absolutely amazing. I have, however, popped into Wrights quite a few times to browse, pick up small items such as scented candles and enjoy an Americano coffee in The Studio cafe. A fabulous place to visit.
