Restaurant review: The Arch in Cobh offers limited food options but wine list delivers

Food is there to serve a secondary and supporting role to the wine, the real star of the show — putting further pressure on the wine list to deliver.

The Arch is of the old school; in other words, there is zero kitchen to speak save a small sandwich oven behind the counter. Pictures: Joe McNamee
