The best restaurants in Lisburn South Eastern NI

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.

Really good food, very fresh and nice atmosphere. 1st time here and will definitely return, lovely restaurant and really good service. Loved our family meal . Would highly recommend

Wallace &donut did the catering for our bowling clubs 50th anniversary celebration, brilliant service and food, can definitely recommend.

Carthago is a gem. Food is fabulous. Fresh. Different. Beautifully cooked. Thoroughly recommended. Visit, you will not regret it.

Visited with my partner on a very wet and windy Saturday afternoon, greeted warmly by the manager and waitress and advised table would be ready very shortly, ordered bottle of wine which I was informed was very good quality and I had a beer. Taken to table soon after, full Christmas menu on plus a number of favourites which are on all the time which was good to see if had your turkey and ham fill already. I ordered scampi and chunky chips which came with a side salad, this was one of the very best Scampi I have ever had, large plump king prawns in a lovely light batter, well cooked chips and the light salad and fresh tartar sauce complimented it really well. Partner ordered a starter portion of seafood chowder with fresh wheaten bread and garlic and parmesan fries to come as her main dish, this looked very appealing on this cold,windy day, she said it was beautiful with plenty of seafood, nice thick sauce and chunky potatoes, I dunked some chips in it too and can agree it was really tasty and one to try in full again. For dessert we had been told by a friend that they do a great apple crumble and side custard with dollop of ice cream on top which is right up our street, we couldn't see this on the menu and were pretty disappointed but the head chef Sam came over just at this time and introduced himself and asked about our meal, I cheekily asked about the crumble and he said, no problem I'll do it for you now, we shared the dessert as we were full from the large mains and it was delicious, took us back in time to be honest and a lovely end to a really enjoyable meal at a very reasonable price. Finalising, great, friendly and professional front of house and staff, food very high quality with nice portion sizes , willing to go the extra mile, highly recommend.

Dropped into 2nd Avenue Café today while waiting for my car to be fixed nearby, and I’m so glad I did! The staff were incredibly friendly, and the café had a warm, welcoming vibe that made it feel like a real community cafe. I went for the all-day breakfast, and it was just what I needed—really tasty and filling. The cappuccino was spot on too. I couldn’t leave without grabbing a rocky road for 'the road', and it was delicious! If you’re ever in the area, I’d recommend stopping by.

The BEST cafe in the town, recently moved, great friendly staff, great food and service, cant fault it.

Friendly staff and food was delicious and hot. Couldn't ask for more, will be back

This is a go to for me ALL the time. From the lovely staff to the incredible food. With so many options (tried them all) in Hillsborough I always come back here. My all time recommendations - Portuguese Tarts, Sausage Rolls, Turkey BLT, Breakfast Ciabatta, Chicken pesto pasta, Ham & Camembert Sandwich and the salads!! I think I'm a Keane's groupie!!

A huge thanks to Vegan Rocket for a delicious chocolate fudge birthday cake for my daughter’s 10 th birthday. It was one of the most moist chocolate cakes I’ve ever tasted and you’d never know it was vegan at all! It’s wonderful to have something like this in Lisburn for my daughter who has allergies to dairy and egg ! I’d highly recommend !

This place is so lees, most Chinese’s taste like pure doot but this one is lees. It’s like breeding: If the ma is sound and the da is sound sure thats good breeding. CMBB

Best (and one of the biggest) Club Sandwiches this side of the Bann and for only £4.50. Cant beat it! Highly recommend!

Suprisely got a table for 2 on fathers day. Lizzies was really busy and perhaps had to wait a bit longer than usual butvthecfinnercand service was well worth the wait. Great food.. great service and not too hard on the pocket either.

Lifeline for people who are desperate and need it, one of the best.
