The Park Restaurant Arklow Review

Located directly beside the carpark in Arklow that is situated opposite the Arklow dole office / garda station etc sits the impressive and inviting looking  Restaurant that is The Park.

Myself and a friend finally got a chance to check it out for lunch the other day and boy oh boy are we glad we did! Anyone who reguarly reads our blog will know how much I adore food and the use of interesting tastes and blends etc. ( well with 2 chefs in the family its not surprising I guess) .

Anyway we literally were in and out as had a busy day but from the moment we walked in to The Park an air of calm decended upon us.

We sat ( having been offered a few choice tables)  in the wonderfully muted and cooling room (HOT day!) that is the restaurant and were immediately offered a drink of our choice or perhaps just water?

Which is always nice as some folks feel awkward asking for regular water.

The menu had a fine range of light and savoury sandwiches ( the fancy kind) salads, stir fry type dishes to offer and myself and my mate both opted for the sizzling beef with pakchoi and stir fried veg  and shared a bowl of homecut chips- Forgive me if the exact ingredients are incorrect as I was in a slight hurry but it was truly GORGEOUS food!!  Beautiful zings of lemon and honey and neither too little or too much on the plate.

Maybe its a girl thing but the state of a restaurants’ toilet facitlites really matter to me ( and pubs – oh some pub toilets are sooo bad in Wicklow!!) and I am pleased to report that they are clean and pleasant in The Park Restaurant.

I just had a small cappucino afterwards which was very nice too and then unfortunatley we had to zoom on to our next port of call!

Being located literally by the car park is very convenient for meeting up with friends and we will definately be back again. Highly recommended for a nice lunch.

Total cost approx 27 euro altogether.  A bit pricey maybe for lunch but very very tasty and worth it – I had been thinking about that dish for 2 days afterwards! honestly.
