The best restaurants in Holywood Demesne North Down South Eastern NI

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.

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!

Hollywood would not answer the phone very bad service

The food here is always exceptional, full of flavour and nutrition, and beautifully presented. It is lovely to be back at our old haunt and to have the owner come over to our table for a lovely chat. Great to see Chef Dean back in residence - one always gets a nice welcome as the entrance passes by the kitchen. The food and the atmosphere are so relaxing we could happily sit for hours going through three courses and the most delicious coffee afterwards. The bottled water, drink tonics and wine are of the best quality; the waiting staff are very experienced, knowledgeable and attentive. It is one of the most relaxing and pleasant places to eat; and for the level of cuisine - which is so thoughtfully sourced and cooked by the two chefs - the prices are not over the top. There are always interesting meat and seafood dishes, and local catch; great use of a large variety of vegetables. And the deserts, where so many places are the same, here they are creative and delicious. The Spiced Pumpkin Panna Cotta with caramelised figs that had a sparkle of sugar over them, at Halloween, was amazing; and wonderfully nutrient dense. Good food, good atmosphere, good company, it’s like a spa day in a restaurant for us. Looking forward to coming back as much as we can. Thank you folks.

Indian Ocean is probably Northern Ireland's most well known Indian restaurant and with good reason. A group of us went for a meal on a Friday evening and whilst the restaurant was really busy, the service was excellent. Indian Ocean Holywood has a great, varied menu and everyone was able to find something they liked (loved!!!) Can't remember what everyone ordered, but I got Murgh Tikka for starters and Jalfrezi Ghosht for mains. Wine list was fab as well. Highly recommend!

Used to work here and faced intense racism. They offered to buy out my contract seemingly to keep the issue quiet. I was contemplating taking legal action but this would mean going against an institution I respect (Camphill) that looks after people with learning disabilities. Since my experience of racism was limited to the Holywood branch. I ended up accepting the "garden leave" they offered because I didn't like the idea of attacking an institution that looks after the vulnerable. To add insult to injury at the end of this "garden leave" they didn't actually pay the entire sum that they owe to this day.

It's been completely refurbished with new slides etc. It really is a fantastic looking kids park. My 2 year old loves it, plenty of things to do.

We had great food and the staff were lovely. They do great vegetarian options with tofu in different sauces, all of which are delicious.

Terrible tea and not great service from staff,not a great place for tea,went for the 2nd time,horrible

Morelli’s ice cream is nice and creamy which I like... I got the salted caramel which is quite rich and really nice. Very good ice cream!

Really good taste food and a viticulture view of the sea. They had cute little duck paintings on the wall and the toilets were really well kept which I know a lot places don’t so very happy about that

Outstanding smoked Haddock, chips are cooked to perfection.

For me, did not live up to that rave reviews however was still nice. The seats were pretty uncomfortable and it was quite cold inside. Toilets are up steep stairs also. I went to try out the world changing scone and was very disappointed to be given what to me was a cinnamon roll with butter on top?? Was totally confused….call me old fashioned but I like to cut open a scone and fill with jam and cream?? Maybe it’s just be! I will say though, the coffee was very good.

We went to watch the rugby in the bar and no one was in the bar. The tvs weren't working only the one in the pool room were there was about 5 people playing pool. Hopefully it's just teething problems

Haven’t had from Pizzini in ages but tonight’s one was one of the best I’ve had! So sooo good!
