The best restaurants in South Eastern NI

I really enjoyed our dinner, we will be coming back again... Next time I will leave room for dessert, as they looked delicious!

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

Situated on Central Promenade, Newcastle, Co.Down the covered outdoor seating gives a truly Mediterrean atmosphere as you admire the views of the harbour and Slieve Donard, the highest peak in Northern Ireland, as it sweeps down to the sea. Choose one of the fabulous Base Coffee drinks or select from the range of herbal teas. For morning snacks try the sausage rolls, croisants or scone with fresh jam. Then later in the day you must try the home baked apple pie of one of the delicious (but huge) tray bakes. Base Coffee is not just a coffee shop, it's a hub for many regulars and undoubtedly you will very quickly feel welcome.

Lovely relaxing location with views over Belfast Lough, very close to Belfast but a world away. Conor & Bernie were excellent hosts. The tasting menu with matching wines was fantastic, particularly the carrot soup with coconut and sweet chilli prawns, the scallops with crispy leeks and the fillet steak was amazing. Nice touch to have complimentary port in the bedroom. Breakfast was also delicious.

Absolutely awesome 🤩 we had a few small plates to get a good feel for the variety of the menu and WOW! My personal fav was chicken parfait but every single mouthful was heaven. I hope this restaurant gets awarded a Michelin star it would be well deserved ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ will defo be back HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Fabulous roast beef and perfect roasties and veg. Service is wonderful here! Great value for money and family friendly

Food was absolutely delicious very friendly staff and atmosphere ..have been numerous times and alway gets 5 out of 5 for me

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.

Called in today for a coffee with a friend. What an absolute gem of a little quiet coffee shop. Atmosphere was lovely - great music in background (Good Alexa tunes is all you need!). Very ‘hygge’ ambience. Just checked out their Facebook page and they do foodie candlelight evenings which look bliss. Such a relaxed ambience, delicious carrot cake and very relaxed staff. Definitely my new coffee shop. Love it !! Looking forward to my next visit

Fantastic cafe, very friendly staff. We spent a couple days in Bangor and we visited this excellent place for breakfast. Lovely coffee along with croissants with ham and cheese fillings and raspberry scones. The staff are really friendly and accommodating. Thank you for great morning hospitality that started our days.

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 visited here few times now. Can only say it is one of the best cafes in Bangor. Can highly highly recommend. I had BLT on lovely fresh white bread with beautiful garnish. My mother in-law had (she said) best french toast and bacon. Can't wait to go back.
