The best restaurants in Glenarm Larne North Eastern NI

I visited the cafe carnfunnock and had some really tasty food and a coffee. Was really impressed by the standard of coffee and service by Niamh, very friendly and made a top class cappacino. Will be back very soon.

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!

I visit the coffee shop regularly with a group of cyclists. The staff are always friendly and the service reasonably prompt. This is one of our favourite locations for mid-ride refreshments. There is a dedicated cycle parking area, which is a great provision, although we are reluctant to use the "wheel bender" type cycle rack. A single bar at approx chest height is all that is required to hang the bike on. However a few months ago an electric gate was installed across the main tarmac entrance road. Unfortunately the cyclists now have to share the pedestrian entrance and paths, as it is very difficult to cycle over the loose stones in the car park area and cycling shoes aren't made for walking. We would appeal to the castle's management to address this. Otherwise, perfect! This access issue has been improved, thank you.

Had dinner two nights in a row - lovely location, great staff and excellent food at very reasonable prices. We would highly recommend.

We had hesitated over whether to go to the Tea Room for food after seeing negative reviews, but are so glad we went. Arrived at 12 noon at start of lunch menu. Family meal- 2 kids and 2 adults. Food was delicious, served really quickly and presented really well. Goujons were so fresh and the club sandwich was so tasty. We had a lovely meal, in beautiful surroundings, and were ready to enjoy the rest of our day. Will definitely be back!
