It is all served in a bun with sesame seeds and poppy seeds.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"1464\" data-end=\"1636\">McDonald\u2019s describes the Big Arch sauce itself as creamy and tangy, with a blend of mustard, pickled gherkins and a sweetish tomato flavour.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"1638\" data-end=\"1809\">In terms of size, the new product is significantly larger than the Big Mac. In some international markets, the Big Arch is made using two patties, each weighing around a quarter of a pound before cooking.<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"auto\" data-section-id=\"1pgl0wl\" data-start=\"1811\" data-end=\"1854\">Big Arch is already on sale in many countries<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"1856\" data-end=\"2096\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/suspilstvo\/mcdonalds-pershyy-restoran-bukovel\/\">McDonald's<\/a> began testing the Big Arch back in 2024. One of the first major markets was Canada, where the burger was initially trialled in selected restaurants in Ontario and Alberta, before being rolled out across the country.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2098\" data-end=\"2342\">In June 2025, the Big Arch was officially launched in the UK and Ireland. Following its successful launch, McDonald\u2019s decided to reintroduce it in 2026 as a permanent fixture on the UK and Irish menus.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2344\" data-end=\"2596\">In March 2026, the burger also made its debut on the US market. The company described the Big Arch as one of the largest burgers on its menu and positioned it as an option for those who find standard portions insufficient.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2598\" data-end=\"2688\">The new product also appeared in Poland, the Czech Republic and other European countries during 2026.<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"auto\" data-section-id=\"4sze7s\" data-start=\"2690\" data-end=\"2727\">Big Arch isn\u2019t yet available everywhere in Ukraine<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2729\" data-end=\"2884\">The appearance of the Big Arch in selected Ukrainian restaurants may indicate that McDonald\u2019s has begun to gradually test or launch the new product ahead of a wider rollout.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2886\" data-end=\"3136\">At the time of writing <strong data-start=\"2916\" data-end=\"2996\">The Big Arch isn\u2019t yet listed on the official McDonald\u2019s Ukraine website<\/strong>. The menu currently features the Big Mac, Big Tasty, Double Big Tasty, Royal Cheeseburger and other familiar items.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"3138\" data-end=\"3320\">McDonald\u2019s points out that the latest new menu items, prices and availability of dishes at specific restaurants can be checked via the chain\u2019s mobile app. Therefore, the Big Arch may currently only be available at selected outlets, and <strong data-start=\"3388\" data-end=\"3461\">The price of 362 UAH may also vary depending on the restaurant<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"auto\" data-section-id=\"1yvsqoy\" data-start=\"3464\" data-end=\"3505\">One of McDonald\u2019s biggest burgers<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"3507\" data-end=\"3787\">The Big Arch became part of McDonald\u2019s global strategy to expand its range of large burgers. When it was first launched in Canada, the company explicitly stated that it had created it in response to requests from customers who wanted a more filling burger.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"3789\" data-end=\"4017\">It now seems that this new product is gradually making its way onto the Ukrainian market. If McDonald\u2019s launches the Big Arch in all its restaurants across the country, it will become one of the largest and most expensive burgers on the chain\u2019s permanent or seasonal menu in Ukraine.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u0423 \u0447\u0430\u0441\u0442\u0438\u043d\u0456 \u0440\u0435\u0441\u0442\u043e\u0440\u0430\u043d\u0456\u0432 McDonald\u2019s \u0432 \u0423\u043a\u0440\u0430\u0457\u043d\u0456 \u043f\u043e\u0447\u0430\u0432 \u0437\u2019\u044f\u0432\u043b\u044f\u0442\u0438\u0441\u044f Big Arch \u2014 \u043e\u0434\u0438\u043d \u0456\u0437 \u043d\u0430\u0439\u0431\u0456\u043b\u044c\u0448\u0438\u0445 \u0431\u0443\u0440\u0433\u0435\u0440\u0456\u0432 \u043c\u0435\u0440\u0435\u0436\u0456, \u044f\u043a\u0438\u0439 \u0440\u0430\u043d\u0456\u0448\u0435 \u0437\u0430\u043f\u0443\u0441\u0442\u0438\u043b\u0438 \u043d\u0430 \u043d\u0438\u0437\u0446\u0456 \u043c\u0456\u0436\u043d\u0430\u0440\u043e\u0434\u043d\u0438\u0445 \u0440\u0438\u043d\u043a\u0456\u0432. \u0423 \u0437\u0430\u043a\u043b\u0430\u0434\u0430\u0445, \u0434\u0435 \u043d\u043e\u0432\u0438\u043d\u043a\u0430 \u0432\u0436\u0435 \u0434\u043e\u0441\u0442\u0443\u043f\u043d\u0430, \u0457\u0457 \u0446\u0456\u043d\u0430 \u0441\u0442\u0430\u043d\u043e\u0432\u0438\u0442\u044c 362 \u0433\u0440\u043d. \u0412\u043e\u0434\u043d\u043e\u0447\u0430\u0441 \u0443 \u0437\u0430\u0433\u0430\u043b\u044c\u043d\u043e\u043c\u0443 \u043c\u0435\u043d\u044e \u043d\u0430 \u043e\u0444\u0456\u0446\u0456\u0439\u043d\u043e\u043c\u0443 \u0443\u043a\u0440\u0430\u0457\u043d\u0441\u044c\u043a\u043e\u043c\u0443 \u0441\u0430\u0439\u0442\u0456 McDonald\u2019s Big Arch \u0441\u0442\u0430\u043d\u043e\u043c \u043d\u0430 16 \u0432\u0435\u0440\u0435\u0441\u043d\u044f \u0449\u0435 \u043d\u0435 \u0432\u0456\u0434\u043e\u0431\u0440\u0430\u0436\u0430\u0454\u0442\u044c\u0441\u044f, \u0449\u043e \u043c\u043e\u0436\u0435 \u0441\u0432\u0456\u0434\u0447\u0438\u0442\u0438 [\u2026]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":207433404,"featured_media":29889,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rank_math_description":"\u0423 \u0434\u0435\u044f\u043a\u0438\u0445 McDonald\u2019s \u0432 \u0423\u043a\u0440\u0430\u0457\u043d\u0456 \u0437\u2019\u044f\u0432\u0438\u0432\u0441\u044f \u043d\u043e\u0432\u0438\u0439 \u0432\u0435\u043b\u0438\u043a\u0438\u0439 \u0431\u0443\u0440\u0433\u0435\u0440 Big Arch. \u0420\u043e\u0437\u043f\u043e\u0432\u0456\u0434\u0430\u0454\u043c\u043e, \u0449\u043e \u0432\u0441\u0435\u0440\u0435\u0434\u0438\u043d\u0456 \u0442\u0430 \u0441\u043a\u0456\u043b\u044c\u043a\u0438 \u043a\u043e\u0448\u0442\u0443\u0454 \u043d\u043e\u0432\u0438\u043d\u043a\u0430.","rank_math_title":"\u0423 McDonald\u2019s \u0432 \u0423\u043a\u0440\u0430\u0457\u043d\u0456 \u0437\u2019\u044f\u0432\u0438\u0432\u0441\u044f Big Arch \u0437\u0430 362 \u0433\u0440\u043d","rank_math_focus_keyword":"Big Arch","td_subtitle":"","subtitle":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[806778],"tags":[806775],"class_list":["post-29888","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-suspilstvo","tag-806775"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29888","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/207433404"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29888"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29888\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":29890,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29888\/revisions\/29890"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/29889"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29888"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=29888"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=29888"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
