The best restaurants in North Eastern NI

Apple crumble was massive, delicious and good value.

Caramel squares big let down. Exp 03/06/20 this 16th May 2020 shortbread like a brick caramel not great. Very unimpressed. There was 3 squares had nearly a 1cm thick of caramel 1 had barely 4mm. Pending on how the food was handled after it left the bakery it tastes out of date.If it was good id say its good but its not.2 of the squares didnt have the top covered with chocolate. If i try again some time and its good i will give a great review.

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

Best kebab in Magherafelt by far

Decent place for food & drinks. A little pricey for the food, but it was tasty enough and the atmosphere was good. Staff were very friendly and all seemed to get on well.

The best pizza I've ever eaten and I'm a pizza snob ! Young friendly staff who keep the place spotless. The fact that you can BYO for a very reasonable corkage fee makes for a cheap and cheerful evening out. The atmosphere is good but I'm just surprised that the place is not bursting at the seams with customers as the pizza and service is much better than other popular pizza restaurants in the area. Love this place ❤️

Absolutely stunning location for a really special break and first-class friendly staff. We enjoyed the spa. It was a little crowded on the weekend days, but not unpleasantly, so - there was still space in the hot tubs and saunas. We booked a private riverside hot tub for an hour, and I would absolutely recommend that. Sitting watching a heron fishing in the river while drinking a cocktail is really very cool. I would really recommend visiting on a weekday, though, to get the most. The spa cafe (Elements) is lovely, and the cake was delicious. There are enough different saunas and sitting areas, and hot tuns and pools that it is easy to spend a few hours a day in there and not get bored. We also had a golf lesson with Barry, and he was absolutely fantastic - really helpful and insightful and definitely improved both of our games. The TopTracer driving range is brilliant fun - if you have never used one before, it transforms your time at the range - definitely worth some time. The restaurants are very good, not quite gourmet, but good food, clearly carefully prepared and well presented. It's mostly simple but quite delicious. The highlight for us was the steak at the Castle (restaurant at the golf course). One criticism would be the wine selections - unless you want to drink an entire bottle, the selection is a bit uninspiring. The room was comfortable and clean, we had a river view, which i would definitely recommend the upgrade for. Unfortunately our shower drain wasn't very effective and there was a very slight damp smell in the bathroom. The final recommendation would have to be the afternoon tea - especially if you have a sweet tooth. The savoury items were much more creatively thought out than your standard finger sandwiches and the cakes were a delight. My only criticism was the balance, I could have done with one or two less cakes and one or two more savouries- but then I suppose an afternoon tea isn't supposed to be about the savouries. Overall- if you are looking for somewhere to take someone special I can't recommend it enough.

Had the Christmas Dinner absolutely beautiful , great service .

Amazing house sauce on the kebabs

The best little port on a cold wet day. We visited Ballintoy on a typically dreary day and the cafe was so cosy warm and welcoming. Staff are wonderful, coffee was fabulous and the cakes were out of this world. Since great views too. Highly recommend!

Great hotel in a small town. Building is across the coastline, close to the cliff view. Rooms were great and bathroom large and modern. We had dinner and breakfast - service was excellent - very pleasant staff. Loved it.

We recently visited Taste Coffee and Restaurant in Larne, and it was such a fantastic experience that we completely forgot to take pictures! Thankfully, I found some on their Facebook page, but they hardly do justice to how great this place is. The food was incredible, with so many delicious options to choose from. Everything we tried was bursting with flavor, and the chips and shakes were an absolute must-try! The service was super fast, and the staff couldn’t have been more friendly. A special shoutout to Joanne, who was absolutely lovely and made us feel so welcome. If you’re in Larne and looking for the best cafe in town, Taste is a must-visit. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and can’t wait to come back!

Just had one of the most amazing pizza experiences, 'simply pizza ' Carrickfergus, and I'm not sure I'd want to share, as it's a pizza you'd want to keep for yourself. Ordering was so customer easy and friendly, as they tell you how long before it'll be ready for collection. It's a family run business, and it's run to a tee. As everyone is in sync with eachother. Fresh dough, freshly made pizza, and friendly service. We ordered a 16inch pepperoni, and it was absolutely delicious. Every bite was worth the journey, and I must say, if you don't give it a go, then it'll be your loss. Value and quality, is what you get, but if you don't taste, then you can only imagine. So if you want proof of the experience, then call in, but it would be better to phone order in first, as it's guaranteed to be really busy.

Great place to meet the locals and share in the banter .
