The best restaurants in South Eastern NI

We had breakfast recently on a Sunday morning . Service was friendly and efficient and food was tasty and enjoyed . Our only complaint was that it was a bit expensive .

I've used this place many times to sit in and take out. The food is very high quality but I think a little bit expensive. However, you get what you pay for. Staff are excellent and a wide variety of hot and cold dishes are available. Highly recommend a visit.

Our seventeen-member family reunion in Bangor ended with a celebration of my wife's birthday and my daughter's wedding anniversary at the Boathouse. We were also celebrating the end of a highly enjoyable week in Ireland and Northern Ireland. The experience at the Boathouse fit the...

While this is not in the centre of Banbridge it is on a hill with nice surroundings. An old hotel but well kept, I had a very good 3 course lunch here for £15.

We visited Newcastle for the Irish Open and The Maghera Inn was recommended to us. We visited the restaurant and were delighted that we did. It was the best meal we had in years. The food, service and hospitality was wonderful. We loved it and highly recommend it.

Even though I'm local, I stay here quite a bit. I really struggle to find accessible accommodation in Bangor but the Premier Inn is perfect. The staff are always really lovely at the hotel and on the very few occasions I've had an issue with anything (noisy aircon, etc) they've been super willing to help. I don't drive but there seems to be plenty of parking both in front of and behind the hotel.

Brilliant café in Moira. Friendly staff, delicious food and the best coffee!!

Tonight was our first visit to Bull & Bear. We went for a Pre Cinema meal and were not disappointed. In fact the food was just amazing. I had the Mighty Combo, it was absolutely beautiful, the ribs just fell off the bone, the chicken and pork were succulent. My wife had the Spaghetti Carbonara and it was delightful. The welcome on arrival by Anna was so warm and friendly. She showed us immediately to a lovely table. The service by the young staff was top drawer. We will definitely be back. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Such an amazing restaurant, fantastic service and superb food! Already planning our next visit. The Tikka masala and Korma were first class!!

My family and I arrived at this cafe just after 2pm on a Monday. There were no menus apart from one on the wall behind the till, which for a place with two long rooms to sit was rather inconvenient. We were informed that they no longer served breakfast which reduced our options by half. I ordered a club sandwich which came with cold, processed chicken and a ton of mayo. They refused to serve us bacon on toast for our little one although my sandwich contained those ingendients. There was no kids menu. I also ordered a piece of lemon meringue which was truly old. Apart from the friendly staff this was a disappointing experience.

We were here for a beer. I hope it will be open soon. This bar had nice atmosphere, we enjoyed our visit here.

Lovely food, plesent staff, nice clean restruant. Visited many times with friends and family and always a good standard.

Lovely staff. Excellent service. Excellent food ⭐ (top notch steaks) ⭐

We always loved the vegan cooked breakfast here.. But alas today's was awful.. Three dry patties on a plate.. Tasting of baking soda.. Inedible.. But.. We shall be back next spring in the hope that we can feast on the cooked veggie fry we were expecting.. Perhaps they have a new chef..!!.. Its a lovely place otherwise.. With friendly staff..

Used to be big lovers of Docs and its food but it just hasn't been the same since its makeover in May 2024. It has lost its way a little bit, it doesn't know exactly what it is. It used to be a combined fish and chips takeway with dinning in, but it now aims itself as a restaurant experience but with the same expectations. Menu options are now not what they used to be, no battered options on menu other than fish for example. And when customisations or variations are requested we got told a hard no, the chef doesn't accomdate changes so the kitchen is no longer as accommodating as it used to be. Also, as others have said, service is very slow and staff are very by the book. We waited close to an hour for our three mains, all of which were straight off the menu as no customisations were allowed as I said, so no excuses. As I said we used to be big lovers of Docs but unfortunately for them there are many other options now available along the main, including some great pubs, that do much better food and service. I just can't really figure out any what Docs is anymore with regard to its identify, food and service.
