The Whistledown Bistro in Newry and Mourne

Had a burger and chips in the bar/restaurant and it was delicious. I'd especially like to emphasize how high quality the meat in the burger tasted. It tasted far above your average burger. Staff were polite and helpful. Dessert was an Oreo sundae and it was fantastic. It had crushed Oreos with the ice cream. Only a discrete complaint; it was quite noisy but there's not much the staff can do to be fair. Good price too. Recommend it for sure.

Very attentive waitstaff. Food was delicious. Nice variety for the vegans and vegetarians in our group. Beautiful view from the restaurant. Excellent selection of adult beverages.

We had dinner at The Whistledown to celebrate my birthday. Though it wasn’t a significant birthday, the table was beautifully decorated with a delicate array of flowers down the centre and a beautiful table cloth. The position of the table was overlooking the ocean. What a perfect start to my birthday meal. I gave the Whistledown some challenge as I have a gluten and dairy intolerance and I don’t eat meat. My dietary restrictions were met with ease. The food, all three courses were delicious. Beautifully and attractively presented and served by very competent staff. The other people with me were equally thrilled with their dishes. After the meal we sat at the table over looking the ocean. I spent most of my professional life at senior level in Global corporations. I know what good service looks like and our experience that night was one of high quality food and service excellence. The order was flawlessly taken, delivered timely and everything about the food was delicious. The staff are very well trained and are courteous and delightful. In basic language they are a happy well trained team. The leaders of the team walk the floor and there was an atmosphere of calm and enjoyment. Though the restaurant was full to capacity, we never felt rushed. This was not a one off service high quality evening. We also celebrated American Thanksgiving with quite a large group of people and we took over a private room. The meal was the full American Thanksgiving meal as in the US. And wow! The Whistledown once again excelled at every level. An awesome evening. The food and decor was indeed five star. Thank you all in the Whistledown especially, Sarah, Colum, Bernie and staff. You are Five Star. And we will be back!

We have stayed here countless times over the past few years. Every time we have had a fabulous stay. It’s like a home from home. The decor is stunning, the staff are welcoming and friendly and the food is delicious. LaSt night was no exception. We had a fabulous time. We are booked in again for st Patrick’s day and I can’t wait!

Excellent service with friendly atmosphere Would recommend the hotel and food . Lovely bar service and attentive staff .

The Whistledown is my go to spot for catch-ups with friends / family or a special treat. I’ve never had a bad meal or experience in it in all the years I’ve been going there! From the friendly staff, fabulous decor and extensive menus (not to mention fabulous views over Carlingford Lough,) this place is a real gem! Credit where it’s due to all the staff in what are exceptionally tough times in hospitality👌🏻.

We were recommended this bistro. Plus points...very pleasant staff and nice cool Guiness and efficient service. But not great to walk in past tons of cleaning stuff. And veg curry was so salty I was close to sending it back. I don't expect great curries outside indian restos but this honestly reminded me of pour over jars of sauce in the 70s. If it was lovingly made on the premises, apologies to the chef.

Waitresses and waiters, didn't know that you'd already ordered. One older waitress seemed very under pressure and barked at me when I caught her attention to ask for the bill, I almost apologised to her! The prawn salad starter was brought on a roasting hot plate, with the butter for the wheaten bread in liquid form. The decor is so sickly and clashing colours with artificial sick flowers. So Blackpool! The room and bed were beautiful and comfy. Pity! The entertainment was laughable only I wasn't laughing. Still I had a wonderful nights sleep, in a lovely big room with my spouse!.

Nice menu that includes pizza and curry plus stake and a range of vegetarian options. Funky look and feel to the place with lots of floral decoration. Service very good.

Decided last minute to go for lunch in Warrenpoint. The Hotel had a large Wedding arriving but despite this we were made feel like we were the only people there. We were given a wonderful table by the window with great views over Carlingford Lough. We had 3 courses and it was great from start to finish. Without going into too much detail I just wanted to say that I have eaten in plenty of Mitchelin Star restaurants around the world but the Medallions of Beef Fillet served here in the Whistledown are super and wont disappoint. My other half had the SurfnTurf and was also delighted with the food.Looking forward to going back again soon.Khris

I called in for a quick bite. Was delighted with prawn cocktail and warm toasred wheaten. Thus was followed by goat's cheese tart and fabulous chips. I enjoyed it all immensely. Top class

I ordered the veggie loaded fries (which I was impressed to see on a limited menu) was even more impressed that they came with jackfruit!! And tobacco onions and slaw. Very creative combo. Unfortunately though there was coriander with it which wasn't stated on the menu, and I had to ask for a replacement as I can eat almost anything but coriander. Though this is not a complaint, I'm reviewing because of the staffs handling of the mix up they were super accommodating and friendly. And in their defence, apparently the coriander was listed on the former version of the menu (recently updated). These things happen! They got me a new meal with red cabbage slaw on the side (no coriander) and it was delicious!! I will definitely be back for the same again!

First time in Warrenpoint! Stopped for dinner Service was excellent fast and efficient Food was delicious Price reasonable Good value for money

Terrible service from the minute we arrived, even spilt our drinks over the table & took a long time to clean it up with little to no apology. Most staff really hadn’t a clue what they were supposed to be doing, the quality of food was not good either with 2 dishes having to be sent back! The carbonara came out with runny watery type sauce & the curry wasn’t much better & as for the children’s curry it was far too hot for any child to eat. The decoration in the place oh my god fake flowers everywhere, dust collectors!! Yuk! The toilets also were not the cleanest. Will definitely not be back.

Right on the seafront at Warrenpoint - the bistro offers both inside and outside dining. Staff are lovely - are fast and efficient and accommodating. The menu is varied - a la carte as well as a lunch menu. We had the salmon with a chorizo topping on a bed of nicely cooked vegetables including potatoes, broccoli and beans with a mushroom veloutè served in a side dish. We came away well satisfied and will certainly return. Everything very clean - including the loos!!

Visited recently & had a meal outside. Food was lovely & service was friendly & efficient. However there was absolutely no cleaning of tables between customers .Surely this is one of the most important issues regarding trying to stop this horrible virus. I had to use my own antibacterial wipes to clean table!! Paper menus were provided but passed from one table to another !! Come on Whistledown you can do a lot better!!!!

Stayed in this Hotel for 2 nights, we were luck to get a seaview. Staff were so helpful. Good varied menu, would highly recommend this hotel for a stay great play area at the side for children.

Visited Whistledown with my sister and two granchildren on a blustery Wednesday...We had a table booked for 4pm but as playpark was closed and rain pouring down we asked at 3.50pm could we come in.. No problem we were told go straight to your table upstairs its ready....I have two type 1 insulin dependent grandchildren whom I had informed the Whistledown beforehand...anyway I requested that their meal be sorted out before ours.... 47 seconds later they appeared...before I could even give kids insulin!!! I do time things because of this... then staff demanded sister and I ordered ...our food was out again within 1 minute. However it was all dreadful obviously pre cooked and stuck back into a fryer horrible horrendous and an absolute disgrace ..My grandkids could not eat the chips as they were burnt to a crisp. I asked for an other chip but they came out 30 seconds later even more burnt.... we have been going to Whistledown for years but will be a long time before we are back. And upstairs toilets not even working. Awful

We dropped in for lunch on a beautiful summer day. We didn’t need a reservation and although the place was busy, we got a table, upstairs, with a view. The view was the best part, because the food was nothing but forgettable. Between 4 of us we had 4 different mains and a couple of starters, not one to mention as none particularly nice. The service was fine and quite friendly. We still had a lovely time because on a beautiful day it is hard to beat the view overlooking the bay.

Great quality food! Went here over valentines weekend and although busy service was excellent. I went for duck spring rolls for starter, they were crispy and well filled, would definitely recommend!Had sirloin steak and chips for main, steak was cooked perfectly and was great quality. Would recommended the chiefs special sauce - twist on diane sauce with bacon, mushroom, taragon!However steak does not come with any sides (apart from chips/mash). No veg or onion rings apart from a few pickled onions.. so make sure to order an extra side if you want some veg. Dessert we went for the warm chocolate brownie sundae and it was amazing!! Would recommended to anyone

Thought I'd take the wife out to dinner for her birthday.She said we could try the Whistledown for a change.And what a great choice that was.The food was delicious and plentiful,the staff pleasant and helpful and a table overlooking the bay.A lovely night out.

I was here for lunch with friends for lunch. We hadn't booked but that was no problem for the staff. We were given menus straight away and some water and left to ponder the menus which were extensive, what a choice! We ordered and got the wine menu. The staff were faultless, Sean was our server and we got plenty of attention with out being invasive. The food was superb,hot tasty and full of flavour. Chips were crispy outside and fluffy inside. We were talking so much that we didn't notice the time but no one bothered us or made us aware of the time though we were the last to leave. The place was clean and beautifully decorated for Christmas. Definitely a place to return to. Thank you Whistle down.

We stayed at the Whistledown Hotel and thought we would try the bistro on our first night. Our previous experience of hotel restaurants meant our expectations were not high. What a lovely surprise we had! The food was great - good quality, excellently cooked. The portions were generous and the staff serving us were delightful. We had such a good experience that we also ate there on our second night and had an equally good time. There was a large group in the restaurant on the first night and a function downstairs on the second night but they did not affect at all the service we received. Impressive!

I love going to the whistledown, the food is always great. Only issue I have is food being served on a piece of wood. I always have to ask for a plate. I dont understand why places serve food on a piece of timber, its very unhygienic and a nuisance to eat. Also your stairway bannisters are extremely sticky every single time I go to the restaurant, they need to be cleaned regularly. Food and staff are great though!

Every time I’m in here I love the decor, the service and of course the food! It’s reliable and I’ve no problem recommending it to others

On a recent visit to Ireland we took friends for a meal here. Duck, Cod and Catch of the day were our choice. All excellent. Highly recommended this restaurant.

Saturday evening meal out. Love the pizza menu. Great selection. I chose southern fried chicken with tobacco onions and diced potatoes. Priced at £11.95. It was such a huge portion but really lovely. There is, a new beef and bird burger at £14 95. My other half enjoyed his.Kerri Ann served us. She is fantastic and so friendly.Later in the bar there was a man and woman singing. Music was very good.We enjoyed our night out. My favourite hotel in Warrenpoint.

Don’t know why we haven’t been in here for so long but I’m glad we’re back .8 for dinner and everything was very good indeed. Service better than I remembered , portions and flavours of the food were all spot on . We used to come her regularly and will start doing so again

Enjoy a meal here with views that will blow you away. A beautiful location with top quality fresh food. I thoroughly enjoy every second here.

I only remember to review a restaurant when it really deserves it, and this is no exception. We stopped off here for lunch during a scenic drive. Apart from easy parking and an amazing playpark just next door which the baby loved, we sat out the front and were attended to promptly. The staff are smart and courteous, everything was served perfectly and each dish was delicious: Sea bass, cod coujons, burger. Hands down the best eating experience we had during our trip. That combined with a lovely full view of Carlingford Lough. We definitely recommend it!

Went for dinner ,the décor is lovely (maybe not to everyone's taste with the wedding display in a glass case on floor), Toilets are spotless and bar decor is gorgeous, Lovely Al fresco area at front with view of Lough.

fitting a family of 7 in is generally hard work and to add 3 children with milk allergies eating out can be a chore. We arrived down last wednesday night and nothing was a problem, staff were friendly and courteous double checked ingredients and even had dairy free icre cream for dessert which obviousy went down a treat :-) and I didn't find the bill to bad either.

Super restaurant. Had the Chef Special of the day, seafood risotto. Perfect,and good value.And the view from the upstairs restaurant on a June evening was also perfect. A gem of a restaurant and quite busy when I called early in the evening.

Having visited this restaurant in a number of occasions I had expected the food and service to be good though unfortunately on this visit I have to say that quality of both has fallen considerably. The meal (steak) was tough and tasteless and the staff seemed rushed and pressured by who I assume is the manageress. The decor is now looking very outdated and tacky and the place could really do with a proper clean (dirty seats). Once again the downstairs bar was woefully understaffed, messy and quite cold. Not recommended.

Have eaten here several times and happy Every single time. Food gorgeous. Staff lovely. Attentive without be overpowering. Reasonably priced for the quality and presentation of the food. Would highly recommend to eat here.

We always stop here for bite to eat and never disappointed. Food is fresh and tasty with great service.

I come here for Sunday Lunch on a fairly regular basis with a group and can't fault the service or food. First class and great staff.

Lovely freshly prepared meals with an excellent variety,friendly staff and excellent service,highly recommend

Enjoyed our lunch from a varied menu at very reasonable prices. The Irish Sirloin Beef was tasty and quite tender, garnished with vegetables and potatoes. Lovely views over Carlingford Lough! Good service. Only downside was the decor, which really cheapened the atmosphere and feeling of the interior.

4 of us had lunch on 11/2/'19. Relaxing experience with excellent food and service Nice surroundings with a view of the lough that would do justice to the best in Ireland. A must if you are in the area.

The restaurant was very busy but we got seated straight away Very extensive menu and our food was delicious, service was great too.

Steak was great, but spoiled by the decor? Artificial flowers in abundance in every colour under the sun, coupled with rough hewn wood, chandeliers, red glitter floor tiles, some cadaver brides, gaudy wallpaper. It is an experience!

If you want some good foods, go straight to the Whistledown Bistro! Some nice people will offer you the delicious dishes you will never forget.

It’s obviously very difficult to cook chips in the Whistledown. We had a portion of skinny fries (kids meal) and chunky chips (adult meal) both uncooked. Skinny fries were anemic and chunky chips raw. £2.95 for two scoops of the worst ice-cream (no excuse with Genoa; Morellis, Mauds, Glastry on your doorstep) and two broken Oreos. Wow some margins there. I definitely won’t eat here again.

Myself and my partner had a lovely walk around Rostrevor and Warren point and had worked up an appetite. We walked into the main entrance and it was very unclear what type of service was on offer, do we stand and wait to be seated? Or do we sit down and order at the bar? Or sit down and receive table service? Regardless of this we stood with the loom of fierce hi ger on our faces and unfortunately no staff were available. The bar man was concentrating on his task and didn't seem to have the time to receive or acknowledge our attention. We then decided to look around the corner were there seemed to be more tables and hopefully more staff, there wasn't, there was however a door and we simply walked out of the premises. I've heard lots of great reviews about the place and it was unfortunate that nobody acknowledged our presence or was available to help and as a result we are elsewhere

First class service, awesome food with top marks for cleanliness and care all through the evening. This was even more appreciated as I am gluten and dairy free and don’t eat meat. Well done staff at the Whistledown for once again demonstrating end to end service excellence. Doreen

We were lucky to get a window seat in Finns bar with lovely views of the sea front.

The food was just great. I had one of the burgers and it was cooked perfect. It had been a long day so I took my food to go and while waiting at the bar the staff was friendly and conversational.

Went for Sunday lunch. My partner ordered roast beef and I ordered chicken curry. After a few mouthfuls my partner asked me to taste the beef as he thought it tasted strange. The only way I can describe it was it smelt and tasted of very strong cheese. I asked for them to change it to something else as it was most definitely off. It was changed to lamb which was ok but the beef had been very off putting and I was eating my chicken wondering if it was off too. Waiting staff were very good but overall appearance of upstairs was quite run down particularly the dirty upholstery. Could do with a bit of refurbishment. Charged for everything on bill. Half thought they wouldn’t have charged for the drinks as a gesture of goodwill but no. Afraid we won’t be back ☹️

We went to the Whistledown for Sunday Lunch. They have a set menu - 4 courses for £20. Service was a little slow but the food was good and they didn't skimp on the portion sizes. There is also a live group playing ouside. Good value and we would definitely go again.

Top class food and service, always enjoy food here, standards are high food is great quality and local and god the size of the stakes are massive definately need a doggy bag to take it home. Good food, good service, good views and good prices

We visited the Whistledown for Dinner in January however the food was average and service was quite slow.

Today I brought my husband, daughter and twin granddaughters out for lunch. We arrived and where seated for 12.50pm. A young waitress took our order and we waited and waited and waited... in fact we waited 75 minutes. My granddaughters where actually crying of hunger. I asked the waitress who took our order if she could find out how much longer our food would be. She went off upstairs. My daughter watched her come back down and speak to a male colleague and run back upstairs. She came over to say it would be out shortly. I asked the waitress if our order was missed but she wouldn't answer.

Visited for a group meal. The upstairs restaurant is large, a bit on the bling side, and the staff in the restaurant are plentiful and helpful. On this visit however the downstairs bar was woefully under staffed and it took a considerable amount of time to procure drinks for the group before our table was ready. The menu is large with a lot of choice, including European and oriental dishes, and many starters and desserts which should suit everyone. Sizzling beef stir fry was tasty and plentiful. The rest of the group ordered steak, chicken and fish dishes and nobody had any complaints about either the food or the table service. The desserts were tasty and portion sizes good. The prices were reasonable too. It’s a busy place on the weekends both in the restaurant and the bar with live music most Saturday evenings. As mentioned before, the decor is a bit OTT and not to everyone’s taste though the food is decent indeed.

My friend who was celebrating her birthday and I had a carvery lunch in this hotel yesterday. There was plenty of choice on the menu and the food was really delicious. The staff were really lovely, very friendly and attentive. We will return!

Great food, in a lovely atmosphere. stunning views across the lough as the sun set. All in all couldn’t be faulted.

When in the Warrenpoint/Newry area we usually head to The Whistledown restaurant. The evening menu offers an extensive choice of starters, main courses, side dishes and desserts. Drinks too are reasonably priced. Service was courteous and efficient. The freshly cooked items arrived at the table warm. We thoroughly enjoyed each course and can say that it was good value for money. The evening was made all the more relaxing and enjoyable by being be able to look out over Carlingford Lough, albeit in the dark.

My friend and I had a lovely stroll along the seafront in Warrenpoint. We then decided to call into The Whistledown.

Arrived and quickly order in the bar it was a quite afternoon. We order 2x Burgers of the menu added bacon and cheese and asked for a side of pepper sauce.

Great meal - great service - went down stairs to the bar and got terrible service - the staff were totally impersonal - didn’t engage in with us and were cold as ice - I will not visit this bar again - pity after such a great meal!

I took a group of customers here and it was excellent. The food was great as was the service and as were the portions (if anything just slightly too big - and I'm a hell of an eater)! I will most certainly be back.

Vi var en bokning av 9 personer,underbar mat och service.Vi åt två gånger när vi var på semester.Jag rekommenderas starkt ,denna restaurang och personal.

Enjoy the beautiful scenery whilst eating food cooked with care and delicasy. Absolutely brilliant experience. Top marks

Sat outside in the sunshine and drank a drop of the Irish. Delightful staff who recommended I try it with lime. I did and it was, well what can I say, moreish! It was a relaxing seat in pleasant surroundings after a longish and frankly unpleasant walk to Rostrevor. The road was far too busy. Shan't do that again.

A group of 7 of us had dinner in the bistro recently.

we popped in with out a reservation and got a table for 6 with no problem.This was my first time eating here and we all ordered different meals and everyone one of us enjoyed them.I found the restaurant itself welcoming and modern and all of the staff really helpful and friendly,they even made us a non alcohol cocktail for one of the kids that was not on the menu.i shall look forward to returning.

This place is amazing for food, drink or even just to stop of for a coffee and enjoy the gorgeous views of the Mourne Mountains and Carlingford Lough, there's something on the menu to suit everyone, service is first class and nothing is too much trouble.

We didn't get to the restaurant til just before 9pm (last food orders), but we were still welcomed in.

Stopped in for dinner and drinks with friends. I had fish and chips which was delicious. Pints were very good. Service was excellent. There is a bar as well as the restaurant and if the weather is nice there is outside seating with great views of Carlingford Lough. Definitely stop here when in Warrenpoint.

Ordered duck spring rolls for starter, this came with an Asian slaw which consisted of grated carrots and lettuce, no sauce, and huge slices of chilli. The carrots tasted as if they had been sitting out for too long. The other starter was chicken wings - they were OK. Both the main courses were disappointing. Huge lumps of cartridge in every single rib. Vegetarian fajitas....wraps were cold, the flavour was bland the variety of vegetables was minimal. Lovely views and quick service however the standard of food is not worth the price.

Can't fault the staff but there were a few things that let this place down. Firstly I know it was a busy Saturday but in the ladies toilets one of the taps was broken and the place looked like it could do with a good clean. The starters and desserts were lovely but my main course was not great. The roast potatoes were horrible and the beef was overcooked. The veg was lovely. Had someone asked me was my Meal okay, I would have said. The price is good and with a few tweaks this place could be fantastic.

Fab food, service, atmosphere and surroundings! What more could u ask for than good food and lovely views!!

This is the first time I've eaten in the bistro it was aboustely amazing the portions were good food was served in a reasonable time from ordering and I just couldn't fault it can't wait to return.

My wife and I went here for her birthday meal, loving setting right on the shore. I opted for the prawns in white wine and garlic sauce with rice and garlic bread. To b honest I've tasted nicer microwave meals, it was bland, tasteless and to top it off I found blue plastic in my meal!!! Was dear at £17.95 won't b back to this place ever.

This is a lovely restaurant situated in the Whistledown hotel. I have eaten here a few times over the years and have never been disappointed. There are plenty of dishes on the menu to suit everybody. I really love the steak medalions topped with crispy onions.

We originally went for Sunday carvery but it had finished so tried our luck in bistro so glad we did had the 3 course lunch absolutely fabulous food, have told everyone about it the portions are great,food served hot which a lot of restaurants lack in, the chicken wings as starters are to die for fab portion size! The waitress was so lovely too very friendly plus love idea of free jug of juice which is great for families loved the food that much I got a voucher for a birthday gift.cant wait go back.

"Top class service and meal " had a small family party here and was out iof thisworld! Very happy diners. Excellent service and good value for money. Would recommend the sebass and raspberry roulade for dessert ! Would highly recommend !!

We decided to dine tonight for Valentines Day, a day later.Treated ourselves to medallions of steak served with champ and peppered sauce. These were excellent.I had small dessert platter. This was a special for valentines. It was amazing.Rachel and Sinead served us. Can't praise food and service enough. It still my favourite place to dine.

five of us went for a meal and a few drinks...the service was very slow.. the barman was the one taking the food orders... the food was a poor effort and most of it was cold.. when we eventually got it sent back we had to wait 20 mins for it to come back to us.. we finished our meal and we were practicaly ushered away from our table even though we had not finished our wine.. we were told we had to finish it in the bar area.. staff dont seem interested

Recently had the surf and turf was very tasty. Staff are friendly and helpful. Always enjoy a meal at the Whistledown!

The bistro menu is served nightly from 5.30 pm – 9.30 pm with bar snacks available from 12 pm – 5 pm and we have eaten from both menus . The menu is varied and will appeal to all palates. I had the Steak Fajita which is served to your table on a sizzling hot platter with onions and sliced bell peppers along with sour cream, tomato salsa and warm flour tortillas. It was gorgeous, i will be having this when i return. My daughter had the Chicken, Mushroom and Bacon Crêpe, which came served with garlic diced potato. The portion sizes are big and she couldn't finish it. The staff are attentive, nothing is too much trouble for them. We took our coffee outside as the hotel is looking straight onto Carlingford Lough and the Mountains of Mourne. A perfect setting for a wonderful meal.

What better way to find refuge from the wind whipping off Carlingford Lough on a mid February day, than to spend a couple of hours in The Whistledown. Whilst my wife and I have been here on many occasions we have always loved it. Finally, I thought it was time for a review. Once again we were not disappointed. The staff, Sean in particular was most welcoming and helpful. Despite there not being many people in the restaurant (it was after 2pm) the ambience was still relaxing. So much choice from the main and special menus. We both ordered the Peppered steak pie with creamy mash and winter vegetables. Perfect choice on a chilly day. We shared a dessert of mint aero cheesecake which was plenty given the size of it! Our meal was rounded off with strong filter coffee to warm us up as we prepared for a bracing walk. All in all it was a delightful interlude and well done Whistledown once again!

The staff are friendly and helpful, the food is very good!! Lovely chicken and sweetcorn soup, although the crusty bread was definitely NOT crusty! However, it didn't spoil the lunch! The coconut and jam sponge with custard and ice cream was divine!! Hot sponge, warm custard and cold icecream is an amazing combination!

Colm and Sarah run a great ship! Food is always good.Staff are friendly and efficient and happy ! Varied menu from gluten free/vegetarian/low calorie , all clearly marked.Thank you again and see you soon !

Amazing staff Food looked like art and tastes delicious Short wait for your food to arrive Pleasant and beautiful place

I have to recommend the whistle down on their Christmas dinner I received when I was last visiting Warrenpoint we went here after my aunts funeral and had a turkey dinner with trimmings absolutely beautiful loads of turkey veg potatoes and they even came round and asked did we want seconds very nice pleasant staff food was succulent, and had Pavlova for dessert it was mouth watering lol overall fantastic restaurant on lovely location highly recommended good value for money ,also the Christmas decorations here were out of this world stunning.

Went for my birthday lunch with my mum and aunt. Food was delicious, had the chicken fajitas. Very generous portion sizes. I was allowed to order the fajitas even though they were not on the menu at that particular time as it was the bar menu, David let us order them anyway which was great. David made a lovely strawberry daiquiri for me for my birthday. My mum and aunt really enjoyed their food too. Ordered a desert and it came out with a sparkler for my birthday, this made it special. Always excellent food and service here!

It was my daughters birthday and we enjoyed another lovely meal. Prices are about £11 for a main course and is well worth it. Portions are generous. Food is excellent. Service is always very good. Try the strawberry daiquiris priced at £5.50 each. Well worth it.Love the Whistledown. It is my favourite place to dine and have a night out. Highly recommend it ☺

My partner and I decided to dine at the hotel bistro. We had Pil Pil prawns (approx 9) and chicken liver pate for starters, both fabulous and big portions! I had sea bass and my partner had Fish & chip for mains, equally as nice! Too full for dessert.

My partner and I visited this place to meet up with friends for lunch. Firstly, the Christmas decorations are just awesome and probably the best decorations I have ever seen for a pub/hotel/restaurant. The staff were attentive and friendly and the food excellent in both quality and quantity. The bill was very reasonable to. We will definitely go back there again and would highly recommend the Bistro to others

First time back in about 4 years... from the first drink in the classy bottom bar I'm wondering why it's been so long since I've been back.. probably because I live 6 mile away and the taxi thing tbh... but, the service and meal was superb!! Went for the mixed starter for 2... perfect! Then the seafood pasta, which I never go for, was excellent! The desert my wife got was good.. not brilliant.. apple crumble, but not up to the rest of the meals standard tbh. All in all, the service was excellent, and overall experience superb.

The place itself a hotel at the shore of the Lough and without exaggeration it is very popular, weddings are held here every week! The interior is fancy & colourful which conjures lovely atmosphere.In the restaurant you can find wide variety of dish selection, excellent service and most importantly gorgeous meals! You can also sit outside to enjoy a splendid view.Highly recommended!

This is a mid range hotel which also caters for functions and parties. It is a popular wedding venue and has stunning views of the Cooley and Mourne mountains and Carlingford Lough.It has bistro and restaurants Good choice and range of well sourced and prepared food.Service friendly and efficient

We love The Whistledown and as locals love calling in for our tea on a Saturday evening.I had the chicken crepe and my partner had salmon. Both dishes were really lovely. Very good portions of lovely homecooked food. Prices are very reasonable.Love the strawberry daquiris..they are £5.50 each. David and Sean in the bar always keep the banter going and we love the craic with them both.

There again last Sunday evening and again food was lovely an staff extremely helpful an friendly. Great choice of Vegetarian dishes which are very hard to get in n ireland. We travel up regularly from the South to walk in Kilbroney and always visit WhistledownBack again soon

the food was amazing, cocktails were also gorgeous, plenty on the menu and also had specials. gorgeous views from the restaurant overlooking the sea.

The Bistro has a gluten free menu which is vey easy to order from. I didn't realise that they had put olives in the bolognaise sauce and I don't like olives. Otherwise the menu is varied and they have gluten free bread.

We needed a quick fix as our son was starving, we were fine as we had eaten earlier.It was quick and delicious,my husbands starter was enough for two. Service when you need it to be ,Efficient, Quick, & really very tasty and affordable. Loved it.

The Whistledown presents food perfectly. Tasty prawn pils pils with fresh crusty bread went down a treat. My husband had the chicken curry he said it was just alright. He had the vegetarian curry the last time and it was delicious. The waiter was very efficient and pleasant. The decor and lighting is not to my taste. I felt like I was in a scene from Twin Peaks. This would not put me off going back... it is definitely worth a visit. We have visited this restaurant before and the food was delicious. Fellow travellers this restaurant should be on your bucket list if you visit Warrenpoint.

We decided to visit Warrenpoint for a weekend trip.Ive been past the Whistledown Hotel many times on the way through town but never called in.Having been suggested by a friend we decided to try it out for sunday lunch.As it was a lovely sunny sunday the Whistledown was very busy but the staff were very helpful and accomodating in finding us a table in the bistro.The menu was very impressive and had a good variety of different options starters,mains,deserts.Our party had all three courses and we were very impressed with the excellent service and overall taste of the food served.So i will definately visit the Whistledown again and can recommend it to any other fellow trip advisors who happen to visit Warrenpoint on the Mourne costal trail.Well done Whistledown keep up the excellent work.
