I hasve an XML document originated from this site. It contains location and data for resturants and bars. How can I import those locations theirs data and meta-data to arcmap?

I am still relatively new to arcgis.

I would do as below: Since this map uses openstreet map as a basemap so follow as below-

Run the query> Export result> Download geojson>add ineteroperability connection in arc map and add exported geojson> add basemap(openstreet map)

N.B In this case (arcmap 10.1) you need interoperability extesion installed in arc map for 10.2 onward there is a tool called JSON To Features (Conversion) use this to convert this geojson to feature (or use interoperability)

Several format export is possible e.g as geoJSON,as GPX,as KML,raw data- all these format can be imported into arc map using interoperability connection.
