The best restaurants in Bonamargy and Rathlin Allerdale North West

Our first visit to Rathlin Island and of course we availed of The Hungry Seal! The food was absolutely amazing, we were in chippy heaven. The chips are probably the best I've ever had and the battered sausages to die for! The other half had the haddock supper and claimed it was the best he's ever had. Decent portions, the price is up there but not much different than your average chippy to be fair. The girls were lovely and had the food ready in good time. We would take a trip back to the island just for another feed at the Hungry Seal lol 10/10 for us! (Not my picture, found in Google search)

Great service, good selection of food prepared for you, well cooked and presented. A good breakfast menu available with plenty of choice. Well worth a visit

visiting from USA and came across this place while driving through. wasn’t a fan of our hotel buffet irish breakfast so we decided to give it another try and oh my goodness was it amazing!!!. they were cash only and we didn’t notice the few signs posted but our server was so sweet and directed us to the post office locally to exchange our euros for pounds. we wouldn’t have come in if we noticed cash only but glad we didn’t notice because we wouldn’t have stayed for such a wonderful breakfast! best breakfast we’ve had our entire trip and service! thank you to our woman server with glasses! (couldn’t catch her name but she said she wasn’t a fan of bread but loved bagels hehe) we loved every minute!!!

Everything about this restaurant is 5*. We were here on Saturday evening. The two girls who served our food were very attentive and had lovely warm personalities, as was the guy who served the wine. The salt n chilli starter was delicious, the sea bass and chilli chicken also scrummy. Chicken wings are not my thing, but they are now! I am so glad to have discovered this great restaurant, we will definitely return. Thanks, Deirdre

We had a quick dinner here on the last night of our holiday in Ballycastle. We didn’t have a booking but the staff were very accommodating and got us a table quickly. Food was absolutely fantastic. My Rib-eye steak and my wife’s Sirloin were perfectly cooked. Loved it. Thanks to Anthony, our guide at the Giants causeway, for the recommendation.

Called in for drinks on Saturday night, sign outside for live music but went in ordered drinks looked more like a sports bar with TV on every wall showing sports, asked the bartender about music who replied they don’t show up! No atmosphere, no service and definitely no welcome! Go to McDonalds, Boyds or the Harbour Bar much more welcoming for tourists.

Quality of meals, a cider that rocks and a warm atmosphere, all at a more than attractive price I highly recommend

Wonderful selection of hot goods, salads, and the most amazing choice of home baked cakes. Nice, cosy atmosphere- would definitely recommend 😁

After a 2 hour drive, found this wee cafe on a dander through the town. Bright, clean and the staff are the nicest I've came across. Christmas fries was a hit with my husband and daughter, and the brownies were delicious! Great selection on the menu & very reasonably priced. Highly recommend 5*****

Delicious homemade ice cream served by people who know the meaning of customer service. Left with a smile on our faces and two lovely big cones. 😋 thanks!

Popped in yesterday with the family after a beach walk, ordered 6 panini’s and 6 soft drinks - £66 … I nearly choked!! They brought everything out a different times and fed the children last! Needless to say we won’t be returning. The panini’s were also minimum standard , no dressings, side salads etc. talk about feeling mugged ….. a really poor experience

Had lovely plate of soup with cheese bacon toastie .nicecarea for kids to play upstairs with toys etc to keep them busy ,we found this on a side straight away from Main Street

This establishment has been taken over since I last ate here. I have not eaten here since the takeover but have been in for a drink and the staff are very helpful and friendly.

From start to finish, what a fantastic anniversary dinner we had. Taken to our pre booked table immediately. Jug of water and 2 glasses left on table by waitress(something every restaurant should do)followed by menus. Short time later waitress came and took food and drink orders. Drinks appeared in no time at all. Food came out and boy was it tasty. Garlic mushrooms and spring rolls to start followed by rump steak and potatoes of your choice. I got cheesy chilli and they were awesome. Will be back and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking quality affordable grub.

I visited the restaurant in the Salthouse last night with family. We were welcomed by Taurean who looked after us all evening. He was informative, friendly, charming and very good at his job. Our meals (all different) were delivered in a timely manner and the food was excellent. Lovely vibe and comfortable surroundings
