The best restaurants in South Eastern NI

I really enjoyed our dinner, we will be coming back again... Next time I will leave room for dessert, as they looked delicious!

We had a great breakfast at The Dinner Bell Bistro. The food was fabulous and plentiful. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the staff was outstanding. The outside garden was a hidden gem. If the weather is warm, be sure to eat outside.

I had a good coffee and traybake here . It all new inside now and a good place to call. Especially if u into coffee. Or delicious traybakes

Situated on Central Promenade, Newcastle, Co.Down the covered outdoor seating gives a truly Mediterrean atmosphere as you admire the views of the harbour and Slieve Donard, the highest peak in Northern Ireland, as it sweeps down to the sea. Choose one of the fabulous Base Coffee drinks or select from the range of herbal teas. For morning snacks try the sausage rolls, croisants or scone with fresh jam. Then later in the day you must try the home baked apple pie of one of the delicious (but huge) tray bakes. Base Coffee is not just a coffee shop, it's a hub for many regulars and undoubtedly you will very quickly feel welcome.

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.

Absolutely awesome 🤩 we had a few small plates to get a good feel for the variety of the menu and WOW! My personal fav was chicken parfait but every single mouthful was heaven. I hope this restaurant gets awarded a Michelin star it would be well deserved ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ will defo be back HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

What a wonderful unique little place and with the most beautiful views over Belfast Lough. After the friendly manager’s welcome we were taken to the corner window seat. The lunch menu was extremely good value with a substantial choice. The food was hot and delicious with plenty to fill our lunchtime tums. Our friendly manager give us plenty of information about Cleaver, especially about the private dining, I’m looking forward to taking my family of eleven including young children for a meal in the near future. Thanks Cleaver see you soon.

Food was absolutely delicious very friendly staff and atmosphere ..have been numerous times and alway gets 5 out of 5 for me

Fantastic food and wonderful friendly service. I had the salted chilli chicken and bacon and cheese fries very tasty. My friend had the burger and it was delicious as well. Highly recommended.

Called in today for a coffee with a friend. What an absolute gem of a little quiet coffee shop. Atmosphere was lovely - great music in background (Good Alexa tunes is all you need!). Very ‘hygge’ ambience. Just checked out their Facebook page and they do foodie candlelight evenings which look bliss. Such a relaxed ambience, delicious carrot cake and very relaxed staff. Definitely my new coffee shop. Love it !! Looking forward to my next visit

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.

We went on Sunday night for Father's Day and had an excellent meal as always. It was our 5th visit. The service is second to none as was the food. Staff are amazing and we look forward to our return visit !

We live in Lisburn and took the chance to call in after some Friday evening shopping. We were very impressed. The staff were lovely and the food was great. Very generous portions and delicious. It was reasonably priced and well worth a visit. Our new favourite Indian restaurant

Have been to Cafe Trax quite a few times. Had noticed last time I went they do lasagne. So today I tried it. All I can say this was one of best I've ever had. So so tasty, served with lovely garlic bread,slaw and skinnychips on a hot plate. Granny had beautiful freshly battered fish,peas,tartar sauce and skinny fries. She said she never eats all her food. She did today!!! Would highly recommend this beautiful warm friendly cafe.

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
