The best restaurants in Northern Ireland

Lovely warm cozy space, excellent and delicious food, the staff were really friendly and genuinely so.

First time visit. Friendly waiting staff and reasonably priced food and drinks. Food was mostly fine. I order duck for main and when I wasn't asked how I liked it cooked I specified pink and was told that's how they serve it. Unfortunately the duck was a bit overdone.

Very nice pub, had the gaa on which was nice. Looks a bit mad with the cage at the front door but i like that. Extremely rude staff, both staff members were so rude, unfriendly and unhelpful when serving me.

Great live Irish music helpful staff and a warm, friendly environment as meeting other countries enjoying a Gunness

Wow, it's simply a stunning and wonderful hotel. The staff are warm and friendly, the rooms are super comfortable, and the location inside the walls can not be beat. Highly recommended!

An amazing eclectic menu! I definitely recommend stopping here! There is bound to be something for everyone.

Lovely restaurant in Newcastle. Lovely food and £5 cocktails on a Friday, but front of house staff steal the show, excellent service, thank you.

Amazing lunch today at The Quays. Salmon and prawn special parcel to start which was so fresh with beautiful side salad. Then sirloin steak which was expensive at £31 but worth every single penny. Big piece of sirloin cooked perfectly as requested and oozing with taste and flavour. Onion rings, chips, peas and pepper sauce finished the dish and every last spoonful tasted amazed. I challenge you to find a better meal in County Down!

Insane food. The Palestinian Falafel is a steal at £6.50!

Super tasty food you can enjoy while seated in a quirky old bus overlooking the moored boats. Friendly staff and an overall nice atmosphere. While a bit pricey, I'd recommend upgrading the fries!

Was recommended The Jolly Sandwich by several locals as a lovely spot for lunch and certainly wasn’t disappointed. A queue out the door was a good sign but it moved quickly and the service at the food counter was extremely friendly. Had a delicious chicken and ham pie with some sensational coleslaw, while my wife had a very tasty coronation chicken sandwich. Portion sizes were huge, and all the food was moorish and sumptuous. Coffees were excellent also. Good value for money, nice atmosphere inside and friendly serving faces throughout. What’s not to like!

Had a quick bite from the lunch special. £12, very tasty.

An absolutely fantastic night with food that will be hard to beat. Now here’s a poem I wrote, for the food you should eat. Ode to Crispy Pork Dumplings Belfast, and the Best Ever ⸻ Crispy pork dumplings, crackling with grace, Drenched in hot garlic, soy, and chilli embrace. The first bite hit like a bold, spicy song, Savoured and strong — nothing here felt wrong. Outside, Belfast buzzed in its moody grey light, Inside was warmth, flavour punching with bite. Golden skin shattered with each tender chew, Juice met the sauce — a perfect, fiery brew. We sat at a table, grins wide, eyes wide too, Knowing we’d stumbled on something true. These weren’t just dumplings; they rewrote the rules, Turning food into memory, turning us into fools. We talked less, just nodded, hands slick with delight, The kind of dish that owns you outright. I’ve eaten in cities where legends are born, But nothing hit like that Belfast storm. So here’s to that plate, that sizzling grace, Forever the best, no other can replace.

We had an excellent evening at the Muddler’s Club. We tried the standard tasting menu and the pescatarian version. Both were excellent - the stand out dish wad the scallops! Staff were very friendly and attentive. Would recommend!
