The best restaurants in North Eastern NI

We stopped for lunch a bit late, and they served us with no complaints, the service was amazing and the food just as good.

Fantástica cena de pescado. La salsa de curry cambia el juego. Gran menú, excelente servicio e increíblemente limpio. Muy recomendable.

BEST BOSS MAN EVER I DEFINITELY WILL BE BACK

Driving along the Causeway coast we stopped in Glenarm to browse Steensons and have a little walk around the harbour. It is a very quiet, though very pretty, town, and there were few options, so when we saw the Tea Emporium we jumped at the chance to go in and get some lunch. The setting was idyllic, great decor, menu, dietary options etc - service was attentive and friendly. We enjoyed a pot of tea, sausage roll and a ham and cheese toastie - all were great - though sadly meant we had no room left for the delicious sounding cakes afterwards...maybe next time!

Went here today with my friend. Waited 15 minutes to get our order taken. Another 25 minutes for my friends tea and scone to be brought to him followed by another 10 minutes for my 5 piece fry breakfast to be brought out to me. I can say if I knew I'd be waiting a total of 35 minutes for the size of my fry I'd not have bothered. Now I can say the food was tasty very tasty but the portion size was small. After waiting that amount of time it would have been nice to have my poached egg cooked properly. The woman who brought me my fry didn't speak to me or even make eye contact with me which I found very rude. Overall the service was very slow, some staff members don't come across as very friendly. There didn't seem to be much attentiveness to customers and a bit to laid back. I probably won't be back here again.

A super clean safe beach ,ideal for kids ample car parking with a very nice cafe beside , bonus public toilrts.

Great spot for breakfast or lunch. Lovely menu with a good choice for all and friendly staff. Bonus for the kids that there’s a tractor climbing frame outside to play on! We visit quite often and highly recommend.

Honestly, this place does the best chips I've had in a long time. My son and I are addicted to the salty crispiness of these chips. Best in County Antrim and maybe even Northern Ireland. Can't vouch for the rest of their menu as we have only had the chips, but GO and BUY some and support this wee place.

The sausage, bacon, and fried egg pizza was an absolute culinary abomination. The greasy, rubbery sausage bits oozed with an unappetizing, overly spiced oil that clashed horribly with the salty, limp strips of bacon, which tasted like they'd been cooked days prior. Crowning this monstrosity was a single, poorly fried egg, its yolk hardened into a dull, chalky disk instead of the runny richness you'd hope for. The overwhelming combination of fatty, salty flavors left no room for the pizza's base to shine—if you could even taste the soggy crust under all that chaos. Every bite was a nauseating ordeal, a reminder that some toppings are better left separate.

We booked for the Seafood Night and it was fabulous. The food was amazing….I had the chowder followed by tempura monkfish. So impressed with the fabulous flavours. Lovely staff too. Highly recommend this restaurant!

Excellent breakfast. Love the soft poached eggs, good quality sausages and friendly ambience. Great coffee. Just missing black pudding and hash browns. If Chris had these on menu I'd score it 10 out of 10. But Sunday morning open is a god send. So I score him a 9 out of 10.

Love calling down to Quarter House for a coffee and a bite to eat. Alison and the staff are so friendly and helpful. The coffee is great and the paninis are the best in Carrick! Great wee spot

The service is great and the staff are always welcoming. The food from the breakfast and lunch menus are really tasty, especially the Sunday dinner! My favourite is salad sandwiches with coleslaw, although the smokey joe panini is a close second! It is a bit expensive, however, and some of the portions are small.

We started ordering here during the lockdown & it was great to be delivered to our door. However over time, the portions got smaller (tobacco onions minuscule portion) & the prices went sky high. Then they started charging us for the plastic bag the hot food came in! Would not recommend any more.

So amazing place I came in 30min 2 times and I'm happy service is really good PS I'm not from Ireland a I'm tourist from Latvia I recommend this place to my friends, thank you for good services.
