Laragh Lodge in Moyle

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.

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 👍

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

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.

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.

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!!

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.

Had a meal here recently. The food was nice and staff pleasant. They had good systems set up for social distancing and tables outside were in a lovely setting. My only criticism is only some of the staff wore masks. Apart form that 10/10.

Stayed in Glenariff Forest Park for a few days. Dined at Laragh Lodge a few times. Beautiful place, food delicious, waiting staff very friendly and helpful. Chef practically changed the menu to accommodate us.The proximity to the waterfalls was excellent. Don’t go pass this place when in the area.

It was a horrible wet day so we ordered drinks and sat in the outside covered area to eat our own sandwiches which we where told was totally fine by a young member of staff. It was clear from the dirty looks we later received from a manager looking figure that this wasn't OK. He stood the entire time staring and smoking on the restaurant door step (note this is so unprofessional and looks awhfful)! Two other members of staff came and sat literally beside us and lit up a cigarette each. It was obvious this was blowing in our faces and they clearly didn't care. We had a very small baby with us and a toddler. In 2020 this is totally unacceptable behaviour! Also £2.00 for a small plastic tumbler of coke is a joke. I would bring your own flask of tea and sit under a tea. There's too many nice establishments out there now to give places like this money.

Laragh Lodge for an early tea at the recommendation of others.The staff were welcoming and pleasant. I am sad to say that the food was not good. I ordered Portavogie prawns in batter. The first six pieces of batter contained little to no prawns and what was there appeared to be a processed version of fish. The manager's explanation that it was a bad batch and that he had sold plenty that day without complaint was simply not good enough. What really saddens me is that this restaurant sits in one of the most beautiful scenic glens in the world and has the potential to do well. However, as with many restaurants this one has changed hands over the years with food standards beginning well and then standards falling: what a shame - I hope this time the same mistakes are not made. Guys get your act together- simple well made food is all this place needs.

Just back from having a meal at this lovely place. Food was beautiful and service fabulous. Looking forward to the next time. Thank you.

Making the most of the unfortunate COVID-19 situation, Laragh Lodge is catering both inside and outside, offering a ‘patio’ menu, with a good variety to munch on outside if your lucky with the weather. You can also get the full menu inside. Staff were helpful and great at guiding you to keep you safe. Lovely spot, easy to socially distance, and located in a great outdoor environment.

The food was fantastic and came quickly, in a lovely wee restaurant that was warm, welcoming and authentic. 5 minutes walk from the waterfalls.

Laragh Lodge is in a beautiful setting and could easily just provide the usual provincial fare (taken out of a freezer or pre-prepared) at short notice. We have been there on 3 occasions. Despite the restaurant being quiet ,we have always had really lovely food which would equal the top restaurants in Belfast. From 3 very happy hungry teenagers and 3 discerning adults.

Absolute rip off merchants. They have a notice saying non diners must pay a small charge to use the toilet. Not great but if you are desperate you pay up. But 50p!!! Each!!! I said I had to go so paid. But the really horrible woman then said to my husband "surely you should go to". He thought she meant for the same price but no, she then took another 50p out of his change!!!! At that point we thought we may as well have a coffee but it was expensive and dreadful. The place was packed with tourists and we were put in a room with no view. Boycott this place with a vengeance. (PS if you really need a pee then there are lots of friendly bushes across the bridge.)

My favourite place for food probably anywhere. Turkey and Ham, any amount of sides. Owners Gary and Monica and all the Staff first class. Make you feel at home always. Even my wee Hedgehogs love it there.

A lovely little establishment. Food and drinks for reasonable prices. Set in a rural spot middle in the Glens of Antrim. Highly recommendable.

We had a wonderful lunch at the Laragh Lodge... and just a short walk behind the restaurant was a beautiful waterfall! Our server was excellent and we had a nice chat... Food was very good, and restaurant decorations were interesting. I got some great photos of the waterfall... Signs said that there were leprechauns about, and I saw several spots where I am sure they hang out!

Me and the wife were driving in our way to Giants Causeway taking a scenic route and passed the sign were hungry and wanted to stop in, cozy little spot with amazing food and even got to walk the trail for the waterfall behind the restaurant.

Stopped here after a beautiful walk at Glenariff waterfalls, signs were up for customer use only, no food to be consumed unless purchased in restaurant, fully understand this, real heavy rain on Sunday the 13 th, soaked to the skin, we just wanted somewhere dry to eat our lunch quickly, place very quiet, the outside sheltered area was empty, we sat down, just 5 of us in there, a very rude man came flying into the shelter, flopping onto the seat beside me, saying this isn’t a picnic area, continued to blow smoke all around me, we were there around 15 mins, then entered the restaurant were some of our friends were eating, he worked in the restaurant, I quite understand we shouldn’t have been there but it was empty and it was really heavy rain could have been a bit more considerate,

The food was great and the staff were lovely and attentive. Great walks nearby,including a beautiful waterfall. We will definitely be back soon.

We came across this delightful little place as we made our way around the Waterfall Walk. The gentleman who greeted us as we walked through the door, could not have been more pleasant or helpful. He had customer service to a tee, friendly, chatty &amp; very welcoming. This alone made us think we would definitely return in the future. Well done Laragh Lodge, a fabulous place to visit.

Went to the Glenariff Waterfalls and had a good walk around. At the end, had a meal here and was very good.Also called in a few times as we were staying locally and this was convenient. Small menu, but has a specials board too, everything we had was good. Staff very friendly and efficient. Ideal to park car here as is free and ideal for a meal or a drink after walking around the falls.

Good food and service. good car parking friendly staff .as first time at restaurant almost full tells you all also near back entrance to Forest Park

This beautiful restaurant is in a truly unique setting, but don’t be fooled into visiting for the location alone, the Laragh Lodge restaurant is at the top of it’s game. We were blown away by the quality of the food, the presentation (especially the starters!), the service (extremely welcoming host) and the overall value of our experience. Make sure you arrive hungry!

We started our walk in the Glenariff Forest with a short breakfast at Laragh Lodge. We felt comfortable in the quite and intimate atmosphere of this place. The owner was very welcoming and friendly, and we had the chance to talk with him a bit. It was clear from the beginning how much passion he puts in running this place. So we decided to go back at the restaurant after our walk in the forest, and this time we stopped by to have lunch. We really enjoyed our meal, the food was really excellent, refined and very good quality. We would definitively recommend this place! Hope to go there again in our next trip to Northen Ireland.

First time back here in 4 or 5 years

We had no reservation but were shown to a lovely table looking up the river. We went for one starter and both had the Sinday roast. There was lots of it, it was tasty and service was prompt and friendly. It must be 4-5 years since we were last there but the owner remembered us! A lovely way to spend a Sunday off and we walked up to see the waterfall after lunch. A very reasonable price for a really good experience.

Delighted to find this place as we had walked a couple of miles with very small children. Both needed the bathroom and they ran quickly to the toilets with their dad. At this point the man on reception asked me for 50p for the children to use the bathroom. I told him I didn't have 50p and why did I need to pay for cgildrnyo go to the toilet? He then asked where I lived. I asked why this mattered and he replied with 'would you like me to come and pi*s in your house? I was absolutely appalled to be spoken to in this manner. I told him I would be leaving a review on facebook later. He then took out his camera and began to video me!!!! He repeated that there was a charge to use the toilets unless you were a customer- we may well have stopped to buy something, but our initial priority was to get two little boys to the bathroom!! We certainly weren't going to purchase after this and would never go back or recommend this place. No hospitality or friendliness.

Super sirloin, lovely wine and excellent service in the Glens of Antrim. The young man who served us was charm itself, the side windows were like being in nature with the rush of the river accompanying our meal and everyone went above and beyond to make us comfortable. Excellent!

Went for lunch Thursday 8th August 2019.Hadn't booked but had no problem being served. Only wanted a sandwich/cream tea which they provided. Everything was well presented and the staff friendly. Been a few times to take visitors and family visiting from England and everyone well impressed. Will definitely be taking more visitors there and to see the lovely Waterfalls. Definitely a little hidden gem.

Called there with my Grandson after undertaking the walk down to see the Waterfall. Thought at first it was a mirage as was not indicated by signs on the Forrest side and was only barely visible through the foliage. What a treat. Gorgeous food, friendly staff, Irish hospitality at its best. A gem which I will visit with my family on my next visit to Ireland. Thoroughly recommended. Nuala

We have eaten here twice this week The food was fabulous and the service was excellent Nothing was too much trouble Gary and his staff were efficient and friendly The surroundings are also beautiful Val

Young staff and not very pleasant. I do not think one staff member smiled, said thank you or made an effort the whole time we were there.

Such a quaint place amidst nature! Extremely friendly staff. Lovely food, well presented ! We had a nice stroll after lunch in the picturesque background of the hotel. Will definitely recommend it to our friends. Romantic place for a meal 🥰

Food is always amazing visit laragh lodge every time we over on holiday Gary & staff are wonderful always go out of their way to assist you hope to be back soon

We were here with a group and had lunch here. My wife and I had the beef with Yorkshire pudding and potatoes. The beef was very tender and flavorful and the gravy was very flavorful as well. We had apple crumble and ice cream for desert it was excellent. The staff was very friendly and accommodating and the service was fast. The owner/manager oversaw everything. The restaurant is in a great location.

This place is located nearby the Gleanariff waterfall and with the nice weather you can enjoy your food n drinks in the sunshine.

The food here was delicious. Lovely scenery. A hidden gem at the foot of Glenariff Forest Park. Would definitely recommend and will be going back to try something else delicious from the menu.

This Restaurant is at the scenic foot of the Waterfalls in Glenariffe.

Laragh Lodge is part of every visit I make to the beautiful Glens of Antrim. Always a warm and friendly welcome from Gary and his team. Excellent food and wine. We had a wonderful malbec last visit. The food is top class fresh food cooked to perfection.If you have three courses and a bottle wine I would reccommend walking to the waterfall before your meal. Looking forward to my next visit..

Only in the restaurant a few minutes and welcomed by very friendly staff, served very quickly Roast of the Day was Turkey and Ham with creamed potatoes, mash carrot and parsnip, Roast potatoes and cocktail saugsages. The meal was cooked to perfection and very nicely presented with fresh young pea shoots as garnish lovely touch well done to the chefs. Thought I would try a different desert chocolate brownie Sundae with butterscotch sauce, went down a real treat and not too sweet just the right balance.

We found this gorgeous place by chance after a walk from the caravan park at Glenariff down past the waterfalls. The place was amazing,didn’t expect to find anything here never mind a bar/restaurant. The sun was out for a change in June and we sat outside with our large,hairy puppy who had to run up and say hello to everyone he met. Early afternoon and we had a few Rockshore Beers, the atmosphere was lovely and we had a few more beers, some chips etc we had plenty of craic with the lovely lady who looked after us and we only left so that we could walk back up to the caravan site. The place should be promoted more by Forest Sevice at the campsite.

We finished up a rainy walk in the Glenariffe forest with a cup of tea and something sweet, and I can recommend it to anyone––without any reservation. Though we were soaking wet, the owners and staff welcomed us warmly.

We had a lovely meal yesterday, very comfortable surrounding, only down fall for me was , I got my car hit in the car park , and didn’t notice until this morning,,

Really nice establishment in a very scenic setting. Just stopped off for a quick lunch and found it a very pleasant experience. Very tasty food from a menu ranging from soups and sandwiches to full 3 or 4 course lunch. Food was served fresh and hot was of a very good quality which was equalled by great service from the waiting staff. Prices were reasonable as well and looking forward to a return visit.

Called for lunch whilst visiting the nearby waterfalls. Had a sandwich and a drink. Waitress taking the order was rude. I asked for brown bread and she said they only had WHITE, she was very curt. £4.99 for a Sandwich and few crisps. Bread was like tesco value bread. We any realised when we had left that we had been overcharged. Very disappointed, they could improve so much as the location is fantastic. Plus side, toilets were clean and fresh!

Keep coming back to the delightful Laragh Lodge near the Waterfoot and Glenariff. This time it was a lovely Cod lunch with my partner having a sirloin steak. After dinner a walk around the Glenariff Waterfall. A great Sunday day.

Our hosts at the B&B; we were staying in pointed us to the Laragh Lodge and we had also seen it prior to visiting N. Ireland. We were not disappointed. The location is wonderful and we ended up visiting twice, on both occasions we had a table with great views of the waterfalls which were illuminated after dark. The food and drink we had was all very good for the price we paid. It was considerably quieter than we had expected, in fact for much of the time we were the only people eating, however, this was probably more due to the time of year and certainly we would not hesitate to recommend this location for well priced food and friendly staff.
