Cloud 9 in Ards

Great cafe/restaurant at the Ulster Flying Club premises on Portaferry Road, Newtownards. Good food and the best views of any cafe in N'Ards

I'd recommend the avocado breakfast

Went on saturday with my wife just for a coffee . Coffee was lovely, tray bakes were lovely , staff were friendly , the place was spotless . The bill for two coffees and two traybakes came to £9.40 , where else would you get it . Worth the drive over from bangor

Stopped in for breakfast. Great tasty fry and encouraged to pay cash which is a good thing! Their fry is top notch as well as homemade fresh pancakes!

The service was very good, but food not so much. Ordered fries with chicken, the fries were very hard to bite and tasted like fish. That meal wasnt too bad, the cloud nine burger was worse. The meat had a weird taste, and tasted like it was quite old, wasnt able to finish the meal. The restaurant itself is very nice, but not the food itself. Too expensive comparing the quality of the food, wouldnt recommend to eat here.

Had lunch in Cloud 9 today served by Joanne in her ever friendly manner. Kerstyn also gave her input to the visit. To

Good food and great service from Joanne and Kirsten.

Brilliant helicopter flight and the food after was a great experience. Thanks from Tony and Helen.

Went today been 4 years service was not good and food was just ok disappointing

Foods good helicopter ride even better....

Just love the food and value for money

My friend took me for the Furbabies afternoon tea for my birthday. We had a lovely time with other dog lovers! The staff were very attentive!

Absolutely fabulous and plentiful food. Staff are always friendly and attentive. Go on, have a meal at Cloud 9.

Been here a few times and as always the food is great. Had to try a fry on this visit as they were runners up in the Ulster fry championship. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Joanne and the staff at Cloud 9 Events recently catered for a relatives 70th birthday party at the family home. We can’t thank everyone enough at Cloud 9 Events for the service, the quality and variety of food delivered warm to the house and ready to eat. Our experience has totally changed how we will plan future parties. With Cloud 9 Events doing all the hard work, we were able to enjoy the day without shopping, cooking and cleaning up afterwards (besides plates in the dishwasher). It’s a compete game changer. Kindest regards.

Had breakfast here in July, absolutely loved it. Food was excellent and the staff were lovely. The three of us had a fab time, will be back again.

Great service and great grub! We were a big group with lots of kids and the staff couldn't have done more for us! Hope to be back soon :)

One of the best restaurant experiences I’ve ever had, my friend and I both orders prawn open, it was delicious and wonderful big prawns with beautiful salad. The staff are so friendly and knowledgeable, honestly it’s such a long time from I left a restaurant feeling so well looked after. Beautiful food fantastic staff and brilliant location, what more could you ask for, looking forward to my next trip back already.

Lovely food and lovely staff. Will definitely be back.

Lovely food and great service 😊

Lovely meal, portions were very generous and not ridiculously priced! Definitely recommend trying it if you’re undecided.

Stopped for lunch on a few occasions, never been disappointed.

This is a lovely setting for a breakfast, lunch or just a coffee and scones. Food is very good and staff friendly.👏👏

Amazing food with a fantastic view of Scarbo

First class service and excellent food, definitely use again.

A nice setting with a variety of seating options both inside and out, lovely setup and nicely presented food. However, we wish the food had tasted as pleasant as it looked. Apart from the chips that is, which were so white we were surprised any of the waitresses, never mind a chef, looked at them and thought 'yep, they're done'. The texture confirmed they were indeed undercooked. Eggs also still had runny whites which while aren't to everyone's taste, wasn't the end of the world. Unfortunately once our food was set in front of us nobody came anywhere near us again so we just ate what we could. We were also not asked how things were when paying. Probably won't return and could only recommend for the seat and the views.

Service and food amazing as always. The girls here always go out of their way to make you feel welcomed and offer 5* service.

Frys ok but bacon is tasteless and sausage cheep.went back and ordered the beef burger,worst burget ive ever had ,had to senf it back,could not cut it even with a steak knife,looked like it had been cooked sometime earlery and microeaved to death,brot me a new one but this was worse vould not eat it

Called in for breakfast today and although service wise staff friendly and helpful alas let down by poor quality food and overly expensive. Had traditional fry £10.95 and only nice thing on the plate was sausages the rest poor quality and luke warm at best . My two guests each had an egg soda and were charged £9.95 each ! Adding one cup of tea, coffee and a glass of pure orange £41.95 total bill . Would not recommend.

Had a great breakfast here Kirstyn and Joanne were super hosts, food was excellent Thanks

Great food and excellent service by Kirstyn

As always friendly service and lovely food. Kirstyn so helpful.

Excellent food and friendly staff. Always an enjoyable experience to eat at Cloud 9.

I really enjoyed my food in cloud nine it was the best I have had. The staff were all friendly. Also if your having a bad day you are sure the staff would lift you up

Great for breakfasts......and the lunches are good , the eggs benedict are the best I've ever had......extremely friendly staff....

Expensive, food average. Disappointed

The food was very nice and staff were very friendly and helpful. I would suggest that addition of specific sandwich choice could be added to breakfast menu , bacon or sausage with option of adding additional egg.

Nice food good atmosphere good service

An amazing opportunity was having breakfast 😋 with airplanes and helicopters. But the kitchen is working until 15.00. Comfortable parking. Good atmosphere.

The fried green tomatoes are to die for!!🤪🤪

Great food, excellent service, friendly and helpful staff. Fair prices for good portions. Nice views. 👍👍👍

We were taken here by a friend today. My husband had an Ulster fry and I had a healthy breakfast. Both were excellent! The staff and service were also brilliant! If we lived near by this would be our go to place for brunch!

An excellent selection of breakfasts. Hubby had an Ulster fry and I had the healthy breakfast. Both were really good. If we lived locally this would be our go to place. Our grand children would love seeing the helicopters landing and taking off as an extra. All the staff were very friendly and service was great!

Always good, food great and service excellent.

Had a lovely family lunch - food was great, staff were excellent and nice views too!

My favourite place for brunch in Ards!

Impressive refurbishment. Always a great venue for breakfast offering excellent value for money, with quality food options and friendly service. Extensive onsite parking with great views of the airport across to Scrabo Tower.

Best airfield I have visited I enjoyed a bite to eat and then went out to have a look around the aircraft that were there (Cessna 15&172) and finished off the trip by watching a c172 doing touch and goes what a wonderful trip!

The view from here is exceptional but unfortunately was let down by the food

Dropped in today. Went for a quick walk beforehand. Shown to a table then order taken quite quickly. Tea was delivered quickly then food soon followed. Dirty Christmas fries. Do like loads of gravy and this sure had it. Have to say overall very tasty.

Lovely food, tasty and a good helping quick efficient service .... friendly staff

Lovely food, staff are amazing & friendly. Lovely setting definitely be back thank you

Jamie and Kristen are excellent waitresses

Great food and service.looked after by Jamie and Kirsten.

Very helpful, staff very welcoming (especially Jamie)would definitely recommend coming here..👍

Great experience today as always. Thank you Kirstyn and rest of staff

Highly recommend friendly staff view is lovely

Staff were very friendly and attentive. Joanne and Kirstyn served me this morning and nothing was too much trouble 😬 The view of the airfield and helicopters landing nearby was amazing.

Coffee and French toast served by Kirstyn with a little sausage for the dog x nothing to much trouble xx

Overall best place in Newtownards.

Staff are lovely very pleasant food was beautiful would recommend

The waitress, Jamie was extremely friendly and helpful. Being celiac she helped me choose a delicious lunch......... I recommend 'Cloud Nine' Restaurant and looking forward to returning!

Great food.. Great Service.. Great staff..

Our favourite place for breakfast or lunch, staff always welcoming and friendly ,fantastic food, always looked after by all the lovely staff

Lovely of the of the track place. Well worth a visit. Great location at the back of the flying club.

The food was very good, as was the service. We didn't have to wait long for our food after ordering. The food was warm and well cooked, and the coffee was good. I've been to three flying club restaurants in the UK, and this was by far the best of them.

First time here, not bad, would return! 👍

It's been a while since we had lunch here and on a dull day after Christmas we felt the need for something cheerful. We chose a brunch plate of cheesy fritters with bacon pieces topped with a poached egg, and declared it very tasty. On a Friday the place was full and the service quick and pleasant.

Went this morning with a friend for a fry and coffee Disappointed in the fry for £9.50 The service was ok but was greeted with have you booked not good morning how can I help I have worked in the retail myself ?? But we got a table the food was not great for the cost of 9.50 each and the filtered coffee was not topped up so am sorry I won’t be back at this cloud 9 It would seem if your a regular your ok as your tables are booked but you just can’t call in Many thanks ☹️☹️

Beautiful meal, great service, but brought the dogs with us and sat in the tent. It was a very cold experience. No complaints, only an observation for better weather.

Great little spot lovely view of the airport runway and the food and service was great I got the club sandwich and the portion size was great filled me up the service was great will definitely be back

Lovely cafe, well worth a visit.

Great breakfast and service with smiles With so much noise from the general 'hustle and bustle' I don't think the background music is necessary, which makes people talk louder so they can make themselves heard.

We went today to cloud 9 today for breakfast. The food was lovely and staff couldn't have been nicer. We had the most amazing gesture from Mike who seen my 2 year old looking at the model airplanes and took him out to look and sit in the real airplanes. Thank you Mike, was such a kind gesture and one my boy won't forget.

Went for breakfast. Really good food. Had the larger fry. Absolutely hit the spot and was well cooked, not greasy. Would highly recommend. Pretty sure the lunch menu will be just as good.

Was my first time here and I was very happy. It was clean, spacious, staff were friendly and the food was lovely. Will definitely be back and maybe take the furbaby with me as they are dog friendly which I didn't know.

Had a fry in cloud 9 this morning, four of us ate and all food was good, service was excellent and a special mention to the young girl who served us, (Jamie) I think her name was, for the excellent service. We will call again.

Had the lasagna and it was lovely. I am very fussy with my food and I hate grizzly bits, but this was great with plenty of cheese on top. Will definitely be back. An out of the way gem. The menu has plenty to satisfy most people. An added bonus we will use in future is it's dog friendly and has an outside huge tent area to use when having the family pup with us. 5 *****

nice food,not a great selection !

So welcoming, great atmosphere, good food, and planes and helicopters taking off and landing! What's not to like 😊👍

Excellent brunch. 4 of us and we all really enjoyed. Will be back

Great homely place. The food is unreal

Staff are super friendly and go out of their way to help,gorgeous food and reasonably priced, lovely view especially on a sunny day

Went here for breakfast. Had the special which was strips of potato bread topped with chopped bacon, spring onions, cheese and a poached egg on top - delicious 😋!! Really friendly staff. Would definitely recommend a visit.

Called for late lunch. Had the flying pancake stack w bacon sausage egg and syrup. Quickly servedand very tasty. My wife had 2x poached eggs w avocado. Also very tasty. So filled uo that couldnt eat dinner. Roughly £20 including beverages. Will be trying the takeaways next

Great food ,lovely staff ,nice views

Went for Sunday lunch. Nice atmosphere and unique views. Food was excellent, good portion size and reasonable value for money. A hidden gem.

We have heard from this wee gem 💎 but we just tried breakfast, beautiful dry fry great home made pancakes 🥞😋 and they have a dog friendly large tent 🏕️ we will bring our dogs next time.

Worst ever so far. Waiting 2 long for our food over half a hr. When we got the food it was awful I had lasagne it was so dry and no white cream sauce and the chips were hard and tasteless. The salad, coleslaw and the one bit of garlic bread was nice. Mum had a sandwich her bread was rubbery and her chips weren't nice either no colour on them. We won't be back for a while. It is wheelchair friendly I no that because I was in mine today. There also is plenty of room for parking.

Super friendly and attentive staff. Great food. A hidden gem!

As a group of retired firefighters we meet here every couple of months for breakfast and a chat

Staff make you feel unwelcome if there's more than 4 of you.

Hidden gem in Newtownards, great food with great views!

Fabulous, tasty food. Staff very friendly and accommodating.

Very pleasant restaurant with views over Newtownards Airport. Easy parking beside the neat terminal/ restaurant building.

Amazing place for dining out in the garden.

Stopped for a coffee, really nice place and excellent staff, a good space for kinds to run about.

Great food and service. All good in great spot

As Cafes go this place was spot on, food tasted great and there was plenty of it. The only draw back was it was dark, the deep red walls really darkened the place
