The Drawing Room in North Down

If Carlsberg did intimate and atmospheric burger nights........this would be the place , proving that local rather than global is best

Popped into this lovely little cafe for the first time on sunday. We had a warm greeting from the start. I ordered the Chicken and bacon caeser salad bowl which was very tasty indeed. The menu looks great and we will do be back fo breakfast . Great value and ambience. Highly recommended. .

Having heard many positive vibes we took a look. It is VERY small, so wasn't particularly comfortable, and i think you could get about 10/12 people in at the most.. The coffee is Root and Branch, so you can take or leave that. I found it a bit bitter, but that is personal preference. The food whilst absolutely fine, is nothing exceptional, and no different to nearly every other pop-up type café. A proliferation of soup, eggs, sourdough, bacon, oats pancakes, etc..etc... Its more likely I'd pop in if it were local to me, rather than return as a destination.

This is my second time visiting with my daughter. We both had the breakfast. She had with halloumi and bacon I had with just bacon. They were delicious. This is a great wee establishment where the food is cooked fresh. Lovely atmosphere, not very big but u can see customers return for the quality and service from the staff. My coffee was great and we both enjoy our breakfasts!It’s good to see a local business doing well and I hope they continue to grow!

Great wee café with plenty of character and full of flavour. Just on the edge of the town centre beside public car park & marina.

Have been to the Drawing Room many times and absolutely love it! Food and beverages are fab and locally sourced which is even better. Decor is handmade, i.e. they did everything themselves. I recommend the White Chocolate hot chocolate it is yummy!

I wish there was more time in life for us to enjoy meals and coffee in this place! Delightful Full Drawing Room breakfast with high quality ingredients accompanied by excellent filter coffee. Nina, Michael and the team make the whole experience a delight.

We have been back here quite a bit, your first visit won't be your last. We are fussy about our coffee and The Drawing Room does this very well. The food is absolutely great. I have tried the halloumi breakfast, pudding & poachers and the breakfast burrito. They are all very tasty but my favourite is probably the breakfast burrito. Ask for some extra napkins with this one as it's a bit of a messy job, well it is for me. The back pudding is made in Bangor so it doesn't get more local than that. The fact that they use Vegware (bio-degradable take away cups) is a massive plus. The staff are lovely but the biggest problem is getting a seat. Get in early to get your spot.

I could ramble on an on about the food, the staff, the atmosphere, the coffees, and the premises, blah blah blah,really whats the point. Is that going to make you visit. Mike an Nina have got it just right. This place has the X factor that others seem to lack. Busy or not (which is rare) it’s like coming home. Hey don’t believe me. To sum it all up in one word. ..............Hmmmmmmmm...................not possible, So much for my high school education. Come see for yourself and see if you can manage the one word sum up.

Quirky and wonderful what can I say - this is a definite wee gem - team are great and the menu is fantastic - using only local suppliers and fresh ingredients - dishes that will have you licking your lips and going back for more

My partner and I visit regularly for the best breakfast! Friendly staff, beautiful place, great selection of food and the best flat white in town! Personally I highly recommend halloumy fry. It's to die for! We also had have a salted caramel donuts (yummy)and let me just say thanks God you have to pre-order them.. otherwise I would be few sizes bigger..

Fantastic food, friendly service and a relaxed atmosphere. Its very cosy so room is limited but for that adds to the charm. Bangor has some great cafes but this is a favourite for me.

Every now and then, there’s a special event like tonight’s Tapas Night. The team must have worked hard to produce the amazing themed meal, served in a very friendly atmosphere. Eight tapas courses, each superbly flavoured and well presented. Thoroughly recommended.

We've decided to try different restaurants for breakfast/brunch on a weekly basis and the Drawing Room has been the best so far. Great food and great staff. It would be lovely to see them move somewhere slightly bigger so they could have more comfortable chairs and more elbow room :-)

Perfect in every way. This tiny place has friendly, helpful staff, a super cosy atmosphere and an excellent menu. All produce is locally sourced and cooked on the spot. Menu includes everything from porridge to various savoury dishes. Today I opted for Salmon and egg Benedict on toasted bagel ( sourdough and brioche also available. My husband chose The Drawing Room special which included bacon, poached eggs and avocado salsa. He asked for Halloumi as well. ....in fact the staff are so flexible they’ll cook you anything if ingredients are available! Coffee, speciality teas and super cakes also on the menu. Special nights take place occasionally and I love the way the tips go to various local charities. A welcome always guaranteed.

Love coming to the Drawing Room! The food is always amazing and Nina and the team always make you feel special and welcome. Place is small but it is definitely a great wee gem for Bangor.

Dropped in to this gem of a place with my son. Grub tasty and relaxed atmosphere. Sorry didn't take any photos will do next time.

Had a little stroll along Bangor harbour, sun was shining but it was chilly. So we popped into the Drawing Room for a lovely cuppa tea & a hot chocolate.

Had a fabulous lunch in The Drawing Room today. My Chicken Noodle Salad was incredible. For anyone who lives in Bangor, or visitors to the town, if you have never tried The Drawing Room then you are seriously missing out. The décor is quirky, the...

I had a working breakfast here and took my wife to it that weekend. The dishes are delicious. If you like mushrooms this is perfect but all the breakfasts are delicious and the coffee is exceptional. I'll be back again to try another dish.

In this small and funky cafe you will have THE best coffee in the entire town and the food is amazing as well. This is by far my favorite place to go in Bangor, the owners and staff are brilliant people and you can tell...

On these cold winter days get in here and try the hot chocolate....you will not be disappointed... different specials all the time to try.... fantastic

Tiny coffee shop. Extremely hard working staff. Very passionate about their business, great atmosphere. Menu is modern and interesting. Very welcoming environment. Highly recommend.

Visited here for breakfast a few times - excellent food and outstanding coffee in a great atmosphere. Be sure to take one of their cakes or buns home too!

I have ate in here a couple of times and both times food has been excellent really friendly staff coffee and tea really lovely too. Homemade beans are the best

Not a lot of choice on the menu but we decided to stay and were very pleasantly surprised. All ingredients were fresh and tasty. The bacon salad was delicious as was the bacon in sourdough. My cappuccino was smooth and creamy 😀. Off the main...

My daughter and I had brunch here today. It was excellent. Good portions, well cooked, served with a smile. What's not to like? Two things. They can't do much about the first - it is just too small for comfort. Having said that, they could...

We have taken breakfast in a number of places in Bangor, but this would take some beating. Fantastic sourdough toast topped with delicious smashed avocado and perfectly poached eggs. Delightful Kennedy's bacon and superb aeropress coffee. Could this be improved upon?
