Laragh Lodge in Moyle

There’s a lot to be excited about this fine restaurant the food was outstanding food and the most kindest waters 5 star service 😊

Called in for a beer after a walk to the waterfalls. A nice atmosphere with attentive young staff and the food smelled lovely, so next time we will probably have a meal. This waterfall is a few steps away from the Lodge.

Staying on the coast for a few days with limited dinner options midweek. Luckily we'd visited the waterfalls a few days earlier and decided to come back for dinner. We were made to feel very welcome, good range of options for dinner, restaurant was very well decorated for Halloween which pleased my daughters.

Came here with my family as we do every year to walk the falls and get a pint of Guinness from Laragh lodge as we always do. It’s a highlight of our year. As we were travelling with our young kids we packed a very modest picnic and flask of hot chocolate for them. In years past we’ve sat in the covered over area to the front of the restaurant as we had our dog with us. This has never been a problem in previous years, and last year the owner himself actually followed me out with the kids drinks to help me. We arrived there today and approached the covered over area where the owner himself was sitting down having a smoke, he ignorantly remarked “no picnics, this is the designated smoking area”, taken aback I surveyed the area and did indeed see a notice on the wall regarding the smoking, but nothing about no picnics. And replied “oh you have a sign up I see that, funny how you provide a sheltered area for smokers but not families”. He didn’t respond. We hadn’t yet even orders our drinks as we wanted to sit the children down first while my husband ordered the drinks. I doubt us sitting down had anything to do with it being a designated smoking area but more that the assumption was made incorrectly that we hadn’t intended to buy anything. We always do as we know the toilets are for customer use only and we always like the option to be able to use the toilets if needs be, we didn’t today however In some previous years there had been a 50p charge at the door. I can understand this for non customers, but at the rate this place is going they will have no customers. Would be put off ever going back. Refuse to use the forest park entrance as £5 parking per car is ridiculous for a walk that’s takes 1 hour. Would rather spend that £5 towards our pints at laragh lodge. So thanks for the crap core memory, doubt we’ll be back next year.

Outstanding location and convenience to the waterfalls. Perfect place for coffee or lunch when visiting the forest... Service and atmosphere is always top notch.

You may get a bit hungry walking the hills of Glenariff, yet there is a welcome at the waterfalls. (sssh, also accesible via its own car park). The lodge was in full halloween season, decorated in scary mannekins throughout. The service was prompt, drinks served quickly. We had sea bass served with champ, crispy seaweed, peas and green beans and a chicken fillet meal. Brandy and coke, Guinness, two coffees and 1 gluten free dessert-choc fudge cake with ice cream. Around £60.00 for two people. Would definately return.

Stopped for Dinner after reading the reviews. We were not disappointed at all. Absolutely lovely food, great choice and service excellent.

This place is a hidden gem, the food was delicious and portions plentiful. We were immediately made to feel at home the moment we walked through the door no request was to much

Beautiful place for a date or with friends. Food was amazing and a great variety on the menu

Great food! Nice vibes. The restaurant is located in a lovely place and there is a waterfall just behind it. Loved the chicken fillet, mashed potato and chorizo sauce! Will definitely come here again

It’s a great place to try some Irish food. We ordered one chicken fillet and one braised beef. Both were very tasty with reasonable price. The staffs were very nice! Plenty parking places in the front of the restaurant. And the location is so good. There are two waterfalls nearby. Astonishing views!

Nice stop along the coastal route. Beautiful waterfalls just outside the door. Yummy food. Friendly service. Worth getting off the main route for a meal break and to stretch our legs.

The Lodge had stunning views with indoor and outdoor seating and a large free car park. The food was well presented and served in a timely manner. The waterfalls are a short walk from the car park.

See picture for details very rude staff

Lovely location perfect for a walk around the park excellant meal and pleasant helpfull staff.

First time here and will definitely be the last. Ordered the chicken with honey roasted veg and got handed a plate of tasteless chicken and mashed veg and champ which was also tasteless. Husband got the Turkey and ham his was also a let down but I left half my food on the plate. Went to pay and their internet was down so was advised my card declined twice. People in front of us also having the same issue and asked to leave their card details so payment could be taken later when they had internet. Madness!!! We waited 15 mins for them to be able to take a card payments. Pathetic food and service.

Had a coffee and tea while out on a walk.

Arrived in at laragh lodge with the family for lunch and a walk with the family our youngest was sleeping in the car while I was trying to wake him up my 10 year old daughter needed to use the toilet so my wife went in with her they were both stopped at the door by a very ignorant staff member that told my wife that they cant use the toilet until they place an order at the bar. My wife explained that our intentions are to order lunch and we have just arrived and our youngest is sleeping and I was trying to wake him up then I would join them both the woman said ok well I will take your order now and my wife had said to her that we haven't seen a menu yet and can my daughter not use the toilet till I had come in ! The member of staff said no!!! You need to order first or we would have to leave so my wife and daughter left the premises while they were going the lady told them to use the toilet at the forest park instead absolutely ridiculous my wife was made to feel like we were laying about ordering food. I will never step foot in that place again they lost out on business that day and any future business. We went to the forest park up the road and they had a lovely wee cafe there so went there instead and give them our money.

We only went for a drink but it looks nice inside and the staff were really friendly. The waterfalls are amazing

Drinks were so warm that the ice that was in it was gone in 2 mins. We couldn't even hear each other at the same tabe so much noise.

Dog friendly! Pretty nice food! I recommend !

Good home cooked food! There’s no fuss just simple food! Staff friendly! Portions a good size! Good scenery and views whilst eating! Had the option of eating inside or outside! Only down side was the restaurant was very warm but can’t be helped this time of year

Stopped by on our hike to enjoy a meal Was greeted like we were hobos, yes it was a rainy day but we weren't that dirty Was asked if we would like to eat and we said of course, have been shown to a table with two young kids, a few dirty and greasy menus slammed in front of us not even asking if we would like high chairs for the children Within 2 minutes later the visibly irritated waitress came to our table to take our order when we asked for drinks first she humphed loudly. The place was quite empty We decided to depart after our drinks and eat somewhere else, although we were starving It was also clear that the local patronage were receiving a 5 star treatment and the staff was clearly having a great ol' time bantering with them Paying for our bill with the young gentleman at the door was also seemed difficult as he couldn't comprehend that we would like to pay for our table and not book one, maybe if he would have looked up from his phone while having a conversation... Honestly worst service I have ever seen, grumpy and terrible staff, better treatment in McDonald's drive through Avoid at all costs until this is changed

Amazing place for food and walk. Staff very friendly, cosy atmosphere, food delicious!!! Great place to visit!!!🫶

Stopped by today after visiting the waterfalls. Had some sweet treats and a coke. What a lovely location, tasty food and good value. Had a lovely chat with the manager/owner Monica (who very generously helped me and my son out). Absolutely 10 out of 10. Will be back again when visiting the forest park.

We hadn’t been here for some years so it was nice to go back. The food was very nice and the staff quick to take our order and the food came in a reasonable time to show it is freshly made. It tasted nice too. The place was busy and a bit loud (had to try hard to avoid hearing about the hormonal health of a group of persons from across the Atlantic) but that is a sign it has many customers.

Love stopping in Laragh Lodge after seeing the waterfalls. The staff are so friendly, dogs are very welcome and the food is excellent, as always.

Beautiful situation for this lovely restaurant. Very clean, nice decor, plenty of seating inside and out. Staff we encountered were very welcoming, friendly. Good service. A nice choice on the menu. We had starters and a main which were fantastic. Freshly cooked to order, fresh crisp salad, huge portions - neither of us could finish it all. We were very happy with our meal and would definitely return and recommend to others. The short walk to see the waterfall is an added bonus - stunning location.

Food was great, service was friendly though forgot my soup when I ordered it but overall great experience.

Our family visited Glenariff Forest park and had lunch in this wee resto. We were greeted by an extremely pleasant man named Gary. He offered their best seller Prawns and Kids Chicken Goujon. The meal was light but delicious. Not too pricey as well. The ambience is calm and suitable for families. We will definitely visit this resto again. Thank you so much Gary.

After a long walk my family and I reached this beautiful restaurant today my wife ordered drinks in the outside bar I asked where the toilets where as me and kids needed too use them the barman kindly pointed me in the correct direction As I then entered the building with my two kids I was confronted my a member of staff a black haired lady over the age of 50 I kindly said just needing too use the toilet thanks I was told there’s public toilets too use them not ours I replied my wife’s out side buying coffee if that makes a difference I was then allowed to proceed. I didn’t want too cause a scene used the toilets we quickly finished are drinks and left we where going too get food but I was upset the more I thought About what had happened and decided too just leave Now I’m not the type of person too be upset over things like this but I just wanted too give some feedback and hope it helps customers too be treated better in future wether they buy from you or don’t buy from you It sadly put a sad twist on our great day at the forest

Stunning location, bit of a climb to waterfalls, just had a drink at the lodge,would have given it a 5 but for rude bar girl,

Only stop for coffee and a bun. Was a lovely day so sat outside. It seems to be very popular. You can get a beer and sit outside it has lots of seating and parking is free and there is a beautiful watery 2mins walk away

Everything was 1st class, great food, excellent setting was wholeheartedly recomend thank you !!!

We travelled from Glengormley down to the beautiful Glens of Antrim on Fathers'Day hoping for a special meal at the Laragh Lodge. Most certainly were not disappointed. The food was excellent. Mary really enjoyed the monkfish and I was more than impressed with the amazing juicy and tender gammon accompanied by creamy champ. The service was incredible, a real tribute to the hospitality of the Glens people. Many thanks to the Laragh Lodge. Highly recommended!!

It is a beautiful restaurant in the valley of the Antrim area. The food is too notch and locally sourced. There are two waterfalls outside of the restarting, and if you hike a bit further (10 minutes) you can get a stunning view of the valley

We got married at Laragh Lodge in April 24 and it was absolutely perfect. Gary & Monica and their team were amazing. The service, the food, the atmosphere, everything about Laragh Lodge was excellent. Our guests loved the setting and praised all the staff, remarking on how lovely they were. The day was seamless and the staff were so attentive and helpful and ensured we had everything we needed. The service was quick and the food was delicious. We wouldn't have changed a single thing. Thank you so much to Laragh Lodge for a first class service.

Only had a coffee but good menu in a very scenic area

I ordered a well done steak, it was raw in the middle, when I complained I was told it was well done on the thin parts off the steak. Then ask if I wanted it recooked. I said no thanks as I do not like my beef still alive. No offer of a discount or anything else.

Wonderful hidden gem. Food was very good and the people were so nice. And a wonderful stop when visiting the falls.

My granddaughter and I went today and have to say food was lovely, as was the service. Only problem we had was walking back up 😂

Loved the food, the music and the setting with indoor and outdoor options. Surrounded by beautiful trails and waterfalls so be sure to leave time for a walk!

We dined outside as it was such a nice day. Good idea until the waft of rotting food from the black bin, placed in the dining area caught our noses. Think these things through folks. Location outstanding. Location of the black bin, very much not.

Set in a great location within Glenariff Country Park, great food, friendly staff and very reasonably priced. Highly recommended

Unfortunately food took over an hour to arrive, when it did it the sea bass, mash and runner beans were luke warm. The ceasar salad consisted of wilted brown lettuce, croutons and chicken, not impressed at all and will not return. The Manager was quite indifferent to our complaints, just did not seem to care. AVOID!!!!!! AT ALL COSTS.

We did eat but I have eaten before and it was fantastic. Beautiful spot and well worth seeing.

It has changed a lot over the years, but not for the better. This used to be lovely spot with all the old decorations hanging from the ceiling and would have gotten 5 stars. Now it's bland and the service is worse. Wait staff didn't seem to want to be there, poor attitude, and talking to each other by the door about how close they are to the end of shift, never approached the table after being served. Options for steak were 'pink or well done' asked for 'pink', and it came out well done... had an issue with one meal that the manager swiftly resolved (the saving grace). But it's no longer worth the hour and a half drive my family used to take just to visit this place.

Really cute place for great food by the falls. Service was excellent. So funny to find out the chef on that night grew up 15min away from our house. Small world! I am celiac and it was lovely to have many options that accommodated my diet.

Fantastic dog-friendly place, nested off the waterfall trail of Glenariff park. Excellent food and great service, we'll be back!

Lovely place great food and friendly staff

Called in with a friend today and wow! What a lovely little place you have :) The bbq chicken wings we had were just out of this world and our pints of Guinness and frozen daiquiris were just delicious. Our server, Michael was so attentive and kind. A true gentleman.

Visited 02/01/2024 whilst visiting the Glenariff Forest park and waterfalls and found this lovely restaurant half way around the bottom of the waterfall (red) trail. We arrived and were seated quickly with menus by lovely staff member. It was quite busy with other people and another member of staff arrived shortly after to first take drinks orders and then food orders. The hot chocolate with marshmallows was well received. The chickpea and spinach curry with rice and roti was a 7 out of 10. The seabass with champ and veg was also a 7 out of 10, and appreciated that the chef was able to do it without the wine sauce and provide a tartar sauce condiment replacement. The skinny fries were good and enjoyed by the young member of our party. A good rest stop to refuel if your in the area. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Frendly staff food perfect and the veiw well words couldnt describe it come and see for yourself you will not be disappointed five stars allday long ..

Had a lovely cup of tea here to escape the rain, and the owner was friendly and even dropped us back to our car to avoid being soaked! Lovely atmosphere and decor, food looked good although we didn’t indulge and brilliant spot to explore the Glenariff waterfalls <5min walk away. Takeaway pints available and outdoor seating lovely in summer. Reasonably priced!

Food was lovely, staff were friendly and they even allow you to bring your dog in!

The staff were very efficient and the food was delicious

Food delicious. Staff brilliant. Family friendly. Waterfall gorgeous.

Beautiful place to spend an early lunch. Food was gorgeous and the service was excellent

The food was amazing and for the first time, the kids finished their meals. The waterfall behind the lodge is beautiful.

We popped in after we had gone to the waterfalls. Ordered tea and scones. Scones were beautiful. Would visit again.

Great food,service and a great welcome. A great place to stop after a walk in glenariff forest Park.

Great food ,service even more so great and not expensive.

Food and service was lovely , just found this gem of a place by change hidden out-of the way , beautiful surroundings, even a rainy day couldn't spoil it

Was an amazing day out, and they accommodated us when we were a bit early and the food and service was amazing.

Excellent food stunning location and friendly staff all add up to a fabulous dining experience

This is a gem but I'm sure a lot of people know 😉 I only gave it 3 star's for atmosphere because we were the only 4 people in their but it's an excellent restaurant

Nice place to relax after a hike.

Lovely place to stop for lunch or a drink when visiting the falls. Restaurant overlooks the river and has plenty of outside seating. We visited on a very showery day and were pleasantly surprised that we were allowed in with our labrador! Food and service were excellent. We were all made to feel very welcome and the gentleman who served was very friendly. Thankyou for making our trip so enjoyable.

Had lunch today with 2 friends. 2 of us had the chicken Caesar salad and chips which was delicious. The other had the burger which she said was also delicious. There was plenty of everything and we were well looked after by Pauline.Hadn’t been here for a while but will certainly not leave it so long until we are back again. One big plus..nice and quiet so you can have a conversation. No loud music playing thank goodness. I can’t stand loud music playing through speakers in other restaurants so well done to Gary for not doing that here.Beautiful setting of course as well.

What a beautiful experience set in the heart of Glenariff

Food was very poor, but views are great. We've just left. My partner had beef roast. The beef was like leather, overcooked to the point that it was beyond well done, and the mash was hard without butter or seasoning. 'Roast potatoes' must have been out of a packet, and there was hardly any gravy or vegetables. I had steak and fries. Fries were floppy they were so underdone. Peppercorn sauce clearly out of a packet, as bland and watery. Steak was the only thing served to either of us that was cooked competently. From minute one, you could tell it wasn't a place for food and drink lovers. One lackluster ale to choose from, and an average glass of wine came in a mini bottle unopened on the table. Condiments came in tiny packets like a fast food place. Decor is pretty tired and dated, but it wouldn't matter if there was a real chef making a menu. There was hardly anyone there, and I'm not surprised. Maybe they are better in season or at lunch. Views out the window are fantastic. Maybe get a drink after a walk. Don't get dinner.

Stop off here for a bite before walking up to Glenariff. About 6 miles off the coast road.

Family run very nice people food is fantastic and service is excellent

Brilliant place fantastic location

Great food, staff are very attentive and welcoming. What a setting. Wow.

It's an excellent spot for lunch. The food is really lovely and reasonably priced. We sat outside for lunch as the weather was really sunny and they have a separate bar and food ordering area for outside but inside the restaurant is beautifu and very inviting. Car park can be a bit busy with so many people visiting.

Food was ok, service was slow (waited about 20 mins for chowder starter) but staff were very nice and also available. The location is exceptional and definitely worth a visit for the views but the food was average, not bad, not great just fine. Chowder was packed with fish but sadly not with flavour and the boiled potatoes with the skin on were not pleasant. Roast beef was ok and stickey toffee pudding was very nice

Went in for a well earned drink after walking the trails near the waterfall Great friendly staff really nice place enjoyed a drink before setting off home

the rest of the party enjoyed their meals. i asked about vegan options and was told i could have a vegan burger. was then served a burger with cheese 😭

I was glad to see it after our walk, especially after the steep climb back!!! It is a great , friendly restaurant, the staff nice and welcoming. The food was good and hit the right spot! They have a wide menu.

Nice chowder. Would need a make over, it's a bit dowdy. Friendly staff. Lovely location.

Like to visit this place every year,friendly atmosphere,good food and Guinness,nice walk out round the forest,recommend 👍

Lovely spot. Be careful on the walk around the lake as signposting is poor with no indication how to return to Laragh Lodge.The staff are gorgeous and really obliging.

Great food and service, we always enjoy our dining experiences in Laragh Lodge 👍

Excellent food and the staff were really friendly and helpful, they went out of their way to find out the Rum that was in my drink when I asked 👍

Excellent food at a great price (approx 70 GBP for 3 courses plus a drink and coffee for 2 people) and superb service despite the coach party of 47! The visit to the waterfall just behind rounded off a nice meal.

Très bon restaurant; nous avons pris la soupe de poisson et les rougets grillés. Bonne ambiance, service accueillant et très pros. Après le repas, nous sommes parti voir la cascade qui est au bout d'un chemin à côté du restaurant. Très sympa à faire.

I have been coming here for years and have never had a bad meal. I have read some of the reviews that aren't very nice and I don't feel they give the correct feedback. The food is plentiful and delicious, it is great hearty food and the desserts are to die for, not to mention the stunning scenery it is definitely out of this world. Over the years it just gets better and now with covid they have adapted with takeaway and I understand they are closed for some refurnishments but can imagine it will just be as good as before if not better. Staff are always lovely and stop for a chat which i personally love might not be to everyone's taste but this is the Irish way and I think it just adds to the overall delight of the laragh lodge

I have eaten in here a few times in last 6 months, once last Sept and once in December and I absolutely love it. It has a lovely atmosphere and staff are friendly and helpful and they have done everything possible to make it covid secure. Both times I have combined my visit with a walk up Glenarriff via the waterfalls which is just stunning. The food is excellent, I would highly recommend the cauliflower starter and the apple crumble dessert. The salmon and chicken dishes were excellent and the portions are good old fashioned farmer's style (plentiful). I couldn't recommend it highly enough. Unfortunately I don't live close enough to get a take away but am looking forward to another visit when things open up again.

Maybe the first I've been since March with the covid scare. Take away only at minute and I had my usual Turkey and Ham. Eating it in the car just affed to the fun. And first class as always.

Arrived at 12 noon for Sunday lunch thinking we’ll get lovely fresh lunch...boy were we wrong. Soup to start...meant to be potato and leek. Think it may have just been watery potatoes. So bland. Ordered turkey and ham. Meat was dried out, the gravy couldn’t save it. Nearly needed to wash each mouthful down with water. Wife ordered chicken goujons...they came overcooked, with a handful of chips and a dip in a paper pot like McDonalds. Not even a salad garnish. Do not be fooled by the mouth watering pics online. One toilet in use for the whole restaurant...so there was a queue each time. Men, woman, kids, elderly all waiting on one toilet, having to dodge out of the way of waiters...hard to keep a social distance. We’ve eaten here before and I was in shock at how bad the food was. Hopefully this was just a bad day...

My wife and i stopped here after a walk to the waterfall.We were welcomed into the restaurant by a polite young man and shown to our table. After providing us with menus and a drink the waitress took our order. The food was lovely and the waitress who said she was from Canada was very friendly. The establishment is very Covid aware and the appropriate precautions were taken to ensure customer safety.Over all a very pleasant visit and we will be back.

A very lovely stop off for lunch on 17th would really consider an evening meal in the future. Staff were very pleasant and attentive and it was a lovely place to visit when at Glenariff, will definately recommend

Very limited vegetarian options. Only main was the chilli. Very bland and tasteless. The more I think about it it was probably from a tin, the pita bread was certainly Tesco bought and not even warm, couldn’t manage more than two bites of it. Considering it was £14 it was a let down. Staff member completely uninterested in my feedback, didn’t bother to try to respond. Will not be back and would not recommend.

I’ve been going to Laragh Lodge for a few years and never once have I had a bad meal. Then a few weeks ago I had my wedding there and once again it did not disappoint. Gary, Monica, and the staff did everything to make the day perfect and were so accommodating to all of our wishes. As the weather was good we were even able to have the ceremony outside at the waterfall. And of course the food was delicious as always. So whether it’s for a meal or a function I cannot recommend Laragh Lodge enough. It’s a great establishment in a fantastic setting.

Rude lady working there, pity because it was our last impression of the restaurant. But food and price excellent

After being so rudely pushed away in the joke of if a coffee shop in Glenariffe, we found the real jewel of the glen. Staff were extremely friendly and welcoming to our arrival and there was no issue with the ‘payment method’ as there was in the Glenariffe coffee shop. Overall food and service was lovely with a great view of the waterfalls right beside the restaurant. All the customers looked very happy compared to the one family looking miserable in Glenariffe coffee shop.

We held a small intimate wedding at Laragh Lodge, the venue could not have been more perfect. We had an outdoor ceremony by the waterfall, with a meal set up inside the private room inside the restaurant. The surroundings make for a lovely venue and stunning backdrop for photographs. Gary, Monica and the whole team at Laragh Lodge could not have done anything more for us from initial enquiries, all the planning, the setup and the day itself, they made everything so easy for us. The staff are all so friendly and attentive. The food was perfect, as it has been any time we have visited Laragh Lodge. We had the most perfect day and can not recommend a wedding at Laragh Lodge enough. Thank you so much!!

I spent yesterday at Laragh Lodge at a family wedding. The setting was spectacular, the food was delicious and the staff really could not have done more for us. So attentive and accommodating. It was the perfect, intimate wedding venue. Highly recommend.

Myself and my sister went here for dinner. It was quite busy but we had a reservation so we were seated immediately. The staff were friendly and welcoming. We both ordered the sirloin steaks which were delicious. I would recommend this restaurant. One criticism however is that their selection of gin is quite limited, only having pink or ordinary gin, but they have a selection of cocktails. I will definitely be visiting again.
