The best restaurants in Holywood Demesne North Down South Eastern NI

Anyone who had this gem of a restaurant near them would consider themselves very lucky. It ticks ALL the boxes - great food, great (very friendly) service and an excellent location. And I love that it sells vegan options without screaming the word vegan - (some people find it off putting yet many will order a meat free dish and thoroughly enjoy it). Great food. Fantastic home made soups (a choice of 2), salads that I crave (big and substantial), amazing meat free ‘sausage’ rolls (made with sweet potato filling, bruschetta - flat breads. I could go on and on! But meat eaters worry not - plenty of that on offer. The staff are always lovely even though the place is very busy. Sitting inside or out or in the conservatory - it’s always good. Please please don’t change the menu too much! It’s perfect as it is!! Light and airy in the summer and cosy in the winter. Go there alone with a book or meet friends - it works either way. Oh I haven’t mentioned the delicious coffee and tray bakes! Just perfect

Food and service was ok but offer no substitutes on meals where the party had allergies. Still served the meal with items that had been requested to be taken off due to allergy. A waste of food and bad experience.

Attended a murder mystery night on Friday 1 march. Food was excellent and the event was brilliant fun. It was a gift for my birthday and my first such event. It's a brilliant night's crack in a brilliant location. Thanks to everyone involved including other diners. Highly recommend. I'll be back. Ha Ha Haaa...

Small bap with a bit of bacon with not to be resold individual small coke? 6.50. Had put all supplies away but charged full price for meagre offering.

First time visit for us but daughter and husband had been here before and thought we would like it, and we did. It’s a small venue so would assume that booking a table would be essential. The restaurant does small plates of food as well as a few larger choices. We went for the small plates and had about 5/6 between the four of us. Great variety of tastes amongst the dishes which included a whole plaice, chicken skewers, green beans (so good we had an extra portion) smashed and fried new potatoes. It’s a little noisy but a good atmosphere, our waitress was friendly and chatty and knowledgeable. They apparently have a steak night once a week which we might do on the next visit to NI.

Very tasty pizza at a reasonable price. There was a large gathering on the night we went and it took over an hour to get our food.

Very poor service . Member of staff who showed us to our seat was very unwelcoming and neither engaged with us nor smiled. Our order sat on bench at the kitchen for over 5 minutes before it was delivered to us and was therefore cold. I asked for fresh orange juice. I was given juice from a carton and not told that the fresh juice machine was broken until I asked. Very expensive also for very poor experience

One of the better stores…. Feel sorry for the staff dealing with the tripe of Holywood. Poor staff must suffer PTSD from serving the swill of energy vampires and over entitlement of people coming here. Staff always helpful and kind, coffee is well made always.

I had heard Joxer mentioned as the place to go for quite some time and found myself in Holywood on a Saturday morning. I got the Turkish eggs which were perfectly cooked and delicious, my sister got a smoothie bowl. Everything was perfect and the staff couldn’t have done enough for us.

I had a beautiful fish supper from Hollywood Fryer. Everything was cooked to perfection. I would highly recommend this chip shop.

I love this place, I go here alot and everythings fresh and tasty, the staff are very nice and friendly.👍
