The best restaurants in Donard Down South Eastern NI

The food was lovely here today .Dirty loaded fries were delicious. My son had the wings and he loved them. The man worked there even offered to bring it over to our car as it was raining heavily.

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.

My goodness, this pizza is class. Hot honey pizza. Convenient car parking across the road. Good service, I really recommend here, best pizza in Newcastle, hands down.

The restaurant name is now PACHA. The staff are nice and friendly 5*, there is a single shared toilet which is clean though needs check from time to time as water pooling on the floor maybe from costumers drying hand 4*. The place is clean, nice view from window and close to Donard free carpark. I like the way you choose where you want to sit 5*. We dont wait too long for our food and all taste really good and steak cooked to doneness we ordered them. Chips and pepper sauce also taste good. 5*. Price of the food is not too expensive but not average either if you think of the taste, good service and and the location. We can recommend this and we will come back again.

Food is bad got a chicken burger the batter was a hard as the road and the chicken very dry not good at all would not recommend

Great little cafe near the water. A spot in the sun with the morning sun and a delicious coffee and breakfast was served real morning treat.

Went in August and got the Caesar salad and was amazed by the large pieces of fresh chicken in it and the presentation. Went back for the first time yesterday and was very disappointed to receive greasy battered chicken pieces in my salad instead of fresh chicken. the reason I chose the salad was cause I wanted something lighter and it was the first time Ive ever had fried chicken in a salad. Wouldn't order it again.

A bit soggy, to much sous. The dough wasn’t finished… But good topping.

Came in for ice creams at the ice cream counter to be served very quickly by the red haired supervisor. Very nice very friendly. However we had to wait in the queue for over 5 minutes with melting ice cream whilst this young petite girl standing at the counter decided not only to take her time taking money she started casually talking to her mate who was in before us while we had ice cream over our hands. Started to get fed up and noticed she stopped talking and then thought she was going to take our money eventually, nope she started talking to a member of staff not knowing who two ice cream sundaes belonged to. I had to pipe up, are you going to take our money here ? And the girl looked so ignorantly at me took my tenner and then slammed the change in my hand. That girl needs a lesson in running a busy ice cream shop where it took seconds to get the ice cream but wait in a queue to pay. This is an issue that I’m sure people will avoid again due to not wanting to buy a melted ice cream. At then end we had to gulp the ice cream down as by the time we got outside to enjoy it half of it was gloop dripping all over the place.

Oh my god what a spot great service great atmosphere,music needs I say more

After an Easter birthday meal in Belfast, this week it was back to our favourite restaurant in Newcastle and we weren't disappointed, as usual. The food was superb, up to the standards of our previous week's meal in Belfast and brilliant value for money, well below Belfast prices. Starters, mains, veg sides, drink, service all excellent.

Lovely gluten free cheese and ham toastie with a nice fresh salad and coleslaw. The lady who served me was very friendly and helpful.

We had lunch today and felt so impressed I had to write a review today. I had the pork and it was so tender and delicious. My friends had the steak sandwiches they were also delighted with their food. Wine was lovely and service was outstanding, lovely french waiter and manager took care and attention of us throughout our meal . Can't wait to return!! Food is outstanding.

This is a review of the restaurant upstairs. There was a good range of menu options and we both enjoyed the meals we ordered. Staff were very pleasant and friendly. Oh, and we were sat at a private (2 person) table in the bay window with lovely views of the sea.

Just what we need to satisfy the ole sweet-tooth. Great service, we were in and out in 10-12 minutes. Great ice cream, the rum raisin was especially good.
