Wild Thyme Bar & Grill in Banbridge - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

I've had two meals at the Wild Thyme Bar & Grill. I had a dinner, their roasted salmon with white wine mushroom sauce. The next morning I had a breakfast: 2 rashers of bacon, 2 Irish sausages, a poached egg, and a grilled tomato. This was during a 5-week Odyssey throughout the United Kingdom: England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, a trip memorable for excellent dining. The dinner here was the best seafood dinner I had in the UK. The breakfast was certainly one of the best I had anywhere in the UK. This is the hotel restaurant of the Bannville Hotel. Finding it tucked away is a bit tricky, but apparently not too serious a challenge. We were lucky to get a table for dinner. Haven't a clue why no one else has reviewed it, given how packed they are with diners. Were I ever to return to Ireland, I would go out of my way to return here. It's definitely vaut le voyage. Even if you're starting from Belfast, Derry or Dublin. p.s. Trip Advisor requires me to pick one: so I picked "Dinner" but the breakfast was just as great. I do not believe the restaurant has outdoor seating, and unfortunately I don't recall what pandemic-related policies they have. But I rate service, food and value all as outstanding. As far as cost, it seemed mid-range to me, not particularly expensive. Certainly less expensive than a dinner of this quality would be in the Vieux Carre of my New Orleans.
