The best restaurants in North Down South Eastern NI

“The food at Tulsi Restaurant was absolutely delicious, with a great variety of flavors that stood out. The ambiance was warm and inviting, creating a perfect setting for an enjoyable dining experience. Highly recommend!”

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.

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

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.

If Carlsberg did intimate and atmospheric burger nights........this would be the place , proving that local rather than global is best

I went in for a quick brunch with a friend. The full fry and coffee latte didn’t fail to disappoint….fabulous and great service. Helen and the staff are so friendly. Highly recommend

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.

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

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

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

Called in for a takeaway coffee, have to say was the best flat white I've had.Good vibe in the cafe also.Friendly staff well worth the dander !

Thanks to David and the amazing chef's. Blown away by the food. This place goes under the radar a little. Food was outstanding. Was good value for the tasting menu. Will definitely be back again👌

While staying at the Culloden we sat up in the drawing rooms several nights for drinks and fireside chats. Beautiful rooms, all the staff were helpful and quick. I guess I didn't take as many pictures as I thought but we really liked the different gins from Jawbox.

Still great coffee and friendly efficient staff. I can also recommend the "Harland" in a toasted sesame seed bagel!

This was the perfect spot for an epic filled soda and great traybakes. The prices were so reasonable for the great portion sizes and food too. The staff were so sweet and it had such a lovely atmosphere as a happy place!
