The Arch Bistro 5.0 star review: Brilliant! I and a friend went here last month and had a most enjoyable evening. The food was absolutely delicious. We had pate for starters and fillet steak cooked to perfection for our main course and chocolate orange for desert all for 25 euro, The atmosphere was great. We will be back next time we are in Dublin

The Arch Bistro 4.0 star review: Very good food, much better that you would expect for a suburban pub. Great attention to detail on the plate in terms of ingredients and presentation. The pork belly was excellent and the lunch menu was varied and great value. They ran out of the dessert I was hoping for, but I was very happy with the rest. The kids menu is simple, but again the dishes are all home-made and not a breaded chicken nugget in sight. I would recommend it, especially if you're in the area.

The Arch Bistro 4.5 star review: Wonderful food: Great flavours and presentation and very friendly and efficient staff. The food here is far superior than many of the "gourmet" restaurants I've been to in Dublin. Flavours were subtle and food was perfectly cooked. The real surprise is that it's in the suburbs over a pub.. Well worth the trip.. The atmosphere in the restaurant was busy and brasserie style. The only minor gripe I have is the decor. It's a little worn at the stairs and need a more modern makeover. And although I'm a fairly tall person I found the booth seats far too low. With a bit of tweaking this restaurant could rival L'Ecrivan, the food is that good.. I will be back.

Highly recommend this place.

The Arch Bistro 5.0 star review: Having heard great things about the Arch Bistro in Churchtown, myself and a friend recently visited for a girls night out. When we arrived we were greeted by friendly, attentive staff and the atmosphere was elegant but relaxed Food was delicious, roasted pork belly for main and parfait for dessert but the highlight of the meal was the starter of steamed Irish mussels in a chorizo broth, which was honestly mouthwatering. The wine which came recommeded by our waiter was another high point of the evening.
Can not rate the Arch Bistro highly enough, had a wonderful evening and it was great value for money, will definitely be returning

The Arch Bistro 5.0 star review: My husband and I dined here last night. The food was delicious and the service impeccable. We both ordered steaks which were cooked to perfection and for dessert sticky toffee pudding which was yummy. They decorated my plate as it was my birthday which i loved, it made my day. We will definitely be back. Thanks to all the staff at the Arch for a really enjoyable night.

The Arch Bistro 4.0 star review: My boyfriend and I decided to go here last Saturday night as we had seen on Menu Pages that the restaurant had a 3 course dinner menu for 25 euro, which sounded like good value. The restaurant was fairly busy when we arrived but we were soon seated in one of the booths which were lovely. We both went for the Mediterranean fish soup to start, which was delicious. Lovely light tomato base with generous portions of salmon and smoked cod. I went for the lamb shank for main course while my boyfriend opted for the sea bass. My lamb shank was perfectly cooked - the meat was really soft. My boyfriend enjoyed the sea bass, however, he was disappointed that the accompaniments to the fish were not those listed on the menu. On the menu, it said that the fish came with green beans. Instead he got sauteed spinach and a chickpea puree, which he felt didn't really go that well with the fish.
For dessert, he went for the bitter chocolate mousse with boozy oranges, which was absolutely divine. Really really good. I went for the Eton mess, which came with ice cream and chocolate sauce. It was tasty but very very sweet.
The service was very good. Overall, a very enjoyable experience.

The Arch Bistro 5.0 star review: Dined in the Arch Bistro for a family girls night out - it proved to be a great experience.
The food choices on the 3 course a la carte menu (€25) were exceptional. The staff were extremely friendly and the food was to die for! Would highly recommend this innovative restaurant for food choice ambience and a great night out!
I look forward to booking again very soon. (foodie)
