The best restaurants in North Eastern NI

We have just had an amazing Sunday lunch at the Tartine in Bushmills. The menu is really creative, especially for vegetarians and vegans, with two veggie and one vegan starter, one veggie and two vegan mains and six deserts, one of which was vegan. had the red wine poached pear starter which was light and full of flavour, followed by the Tomato and basil Tofu crumb. My wife had the Beef Brisket, which she really enjoyed as the meat just fell apart. The mains came with seasonal vegetables and roast and mash potatoes. The tofu crumb was so light and flavoursome. The meals were full of flavour, perfect roast potatoes, creamy light mash and vegetables still holding their crunch. We were defeated by the portions and despite the deserts looking equally exciting as the starters and mains, we had to decile. First class service from the staff who seemed to love their work and great classic cooking all round. The restaurant was light and welcoming, as was the ambience enhanced by the right level and selection of the background music. A perfect experience and it must be the best restaurant in the area and the best meal we have had over the last twelve days touring Ireland, and we have had some excellent meals.

Coffee wasn’t horrendous, but this is the 3rd visit where we can’t have a sit in mug, and must use disposable cups. Tables are full of (disposable) cups/left over porridge/general rubbish It’s outrageously expensive, which is almost forgivable due to it being an airport, but I’ve sat here for an hour and no one’s cleaned the tables

Great wedding venue staff was more than helpfull would highly recommend.

Great food at reasonable prices. It's BYOB which is great.

Called in for lunch today and there were two chef’s lunch specials available - chicken ballotine and turkey and ham for £12.50. Both were delicious and came with a huge portion of veg.

I've ate out at this restaurant several times before and was always impressed. Today we went for the carvery and despite being advertised it wasn't on. We ordered from the sunday lunch menu. My husband had turkey and ham dinner. There was no vegetables or no roast potato. He had turkey, ham, small amount of champ, Yorkshire pudding. We had expecting the have vegetables with it on a Sunday roast. I had pork and again it was a small portion. A small amount of champ, small amount of shredded cabbage and the quality it's self was just Ok. I don't think I would return

Excellent food. Friendly, helpful and efficient staff.

Forgot items, also delivered an item with meat in it instead of a vegetarian option. I understand how frantic food work is but delivering meat to vegetarians is unacceptable.

Very tasty food with lovely staff, although it can fill up very quickly.

Friend and myself visited Gatto,s on Friday night past, ordered a Rib Eye steak each can honestly say that the steaks were of very poor quality, at least 25% was hard fat/grizzle which was left on the plate, 2 x £30 - not good. Informed waiter who didn't seem to concerned, no apology, got bill, paid and left, maybe should have ordered a pizza !! won't be back.

Went there on a Monday- closed!!

Food not good quality afternoon tea on a slate it didn't look like any of it was made on site staff are really lovely and friendly

Fed up with rubbish food at the airport while waiting for flights i decided to google 'good places to eat nearby' search returned the Fiddlers Inn in Crumlin Cant recommend it enough, Fantastic pub, great food & people were lovely. visited solo at 17.00 on a Friday evening, was busy with mix of people but easily managed to get a table. Will return when I'm next across

It's look clean and food is delicious

Fabulous food and atmosphere, would highly recommend for anyone who wants to try a local buisiness and enjoys good food and service. Wide range of options for vegetarians.
