The best restaurants in South Eastern NI

The food was very tasty and authentic. The quality of the food, service everything was outstanding. Definitely worth the money. Would love to visit again and again.

We had a great breakfast at The Dinner Bell Bistro. The food was fabulous and plentiful. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the staff was outstanding. The outside garden was a hidden gem. If the weather is warm, be sure to eat outside.

I had a good coffee and traybake here . It all new inside now and a good place to call. Especially if u into coffee. Or delicious traybakes

What a wonderful unique little place and with the most beautiful views over Belfast Lough. After the friendly manager’s welcome we were taken to the corner window seat. The lunch menu was extremely good value with a substantial choice. The food was hot and delicious with plenty to fill our lunchtime tums. Our friendly manager give us plenty of information about Cleaver, especially about the private dining, I’m looking forward to taking my family of eleven including young children for a meal in the near future. Thanks Cleaver see you soon.

Fantastic food and wonderful friendly service. I had the salted chilli chicken and bacon and cheese fries very tasty. My friend had the burger and it was delicious as well. Highly recommended.

I had the pleasure of dining at Origin 101 for a 50th wedding anniversary celebration. The ambience was absolutely charming, the food superb, the waitstaff very professional and Kelsey, the proprietor very welcome and accommodating. If only I lived in Moira, I would return often. As it was, I asked her to consider opening a second location in Connecticut. One can only hope.

We went on Sunday night for Father's Day and had an excellent meal as always. It was our 5th visit. The service is second to none as was the food. Staff are amazing and we look forward to our return visit !

We live in Lisburn and took the chance to call in after some Friday evening shopping. We were very impressed. The staff were lovely and the food was great. Very generous portions and delicious. It was reasonably priced and well worth a visit. Our new favourite Indian restaurant

Have been to Cafe Trax quite a few times. Had noticed last time I went they do lasagne. So today I tried it. All I can say this was one of best I've ever had. So so tasty, served with lovely garlic bread,slaw and skinnychips on a hot plate. Granny had beautiful freshly battered fish,peas,tartar sauce and skinny fries. She said she never eats all her food. She did today!!! Would highly recommend this beautiful warm friendly cafe.

This cafe is great for breakfast and coffee/ tea. Plenty on the plate and very friendly staff. And very reasonable prices. Well worth a visit

The staff are super friendly and no matter the game or hobby there is something for you. I had been playing magic online for 2 years because I though there was nowhere local to play, ans then I discovered this place had been there the whole time! Plus the hot chocolate is 10/10

Want a pie or just something nice to eat?....Simple Simons Is THE place to go. the ladies I've been served by, have ALWAYS been really nice, their pies have been delicious as well. i will not go anywhere else for an amazing pie or scone or bun. PLEASE give these ladies a shout, food is OUTSTANDING

An absolutely cracking wee chip shop, hard to find and not much to look at but an absolute gem. We had haddock and chips and everything was cooked to perfection, no fuss, no nonsense just proper fish n chips and good portions. It's getting harder and harder to find a decent fish and chip shop and this wee place is well worth a visit if you appreciate a good fish supper.

Honestly THE nicest coffee I’ve ever had! Apparently it’s roasted locally - it’s called sleepers and it was so nice I went back in and bought 2kg of the beans!! A must try if you’re in the area

What can I say about this place? It’s hard to find a reason to visit the big city of Bangor and in-fact I used to find reasons not to visit but this Bar has changed all that and I now welcome the pilgrimage up to Costa Del Bangor like many Belfast inhabitants enjoyed before me in the heady summer days of the 60’s. Ginge’s is the perfect infusion of Aladdins Cave and Willy Wonkas chocolate factory and will have you going down a rabbit hole Alice herself would have marvelled at. A place where amazement and wonder are around every corner due to the atmosphere casually swinging from one of being on a special ops mission behind enemy lines with a crack team of Bangor veterans trying to compete a poker hand to one of casually chilling in front of an open fire with live music resembling days gone by whilst having craic and prime ministers questions with clientele you simply wouldn’t come across in your normal everyday life. From Olympians, musicians, tech savvy professionals and Dothraki bloodriders, Ginges has it all under one roof. Add to this an owner bringing in guest chefs to cook up bbq fare fitting of its surroundings and you found a niche in the hospitality sector. Ham hocks, lamb legs, sides of beef and multiple corn snacks are laid down in a feast fitting of a banqueting table of the tudors themselves. A unique experience indeed and one not to be passed up
