The best restaurants in North Down South Eastern NI

Fantastic lamb madras and selection wheel, cooked to perfection and always consistent. Great service, reasonably priced and a lovely end to the Grand National winning day. Well done Tulsi

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.

Had dinner with the family. Service was very good and food was great (kids portions were a bit light). The menu is good and the view from the restaurant is nice. Recommend.

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

Great for a coffee but don’t bother getting a sandwich as it will knock you back £9! And wasn’t anything special. Shocking..

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

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

Have been here 3 times now.My mother in-law had toast,bacon and maple syrup. Said it was best she ever had. She has been to quite a few coffee shops.!! ! I had freshly made tuna sandwich,came dressed with lovely garnish and crisps. Can't recommend this cafe enough. Excellent

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

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👌

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 !

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!

We arrived a little early but staff were happy for us to be seated. Food was excellent with great service. Friendly, helpful staff in spacious restaurant.
