The best restaurants in South Eastern NI

excellent food and wonderful staff !

We dropped into the Claw & Bull on a beautiful sunny Sunday afternoon with no booking. The whole town of Portaferry was buzzing and we could see from the crowded beer garden that they were very busy. Even though we didn’t have a booking they found us a table with an amazing view overlooking the lough. The food was amazing and the staff were very attentive and friendly. Looking forward to a return visit very soon.

Pretty average... all I could taste was the sauce in my smokey chicken roll. The roll was soft and uninteresting. Service was okay. Not expensive.

Went for first time last week with two friends for some lunch. Staff super friendly and welcoming. Their sausage rolls were amazing and served with side salad and ramekin of relish. Coffee good too! I will definitely be back and recommending to others. Next time I hope to get one of their wood fired pizzas because they look fab!!

My friend and I were here today for lunch. Service was fantastic, quick and prompt. Our waiter was pleasant and even moved us to a window seat when it become available. Thank you:-) I had the smoked Haddock as pictures show, my friend had mini mixed grill, he said it was delicious. We shared a desert of toffee sponge- it was ok. We both had coffee to finish- mine was baileys coffee, very good! Can’t wait to come again. Thank you :-)

Fabulous lunch with some interesting options for the adventurous. Fresh ingredients and great cooking. Staff very friendly too!

Came in for ice creams at the ice cream counter to be served very quickly by the red haired supervisor. Very nice very friendly. However we had to wait in the queue for over 5 minutes with melting ice cream whilst this young petite girl standing at the counter decided not only to take her time taking money she started casually talking to her mate who was in before us while we had ice cream over our hands. Started to get fed up and noticed she stopped talking and then thought she was going to take our money eventually, nope she started talking to a member of staff not knowing who two ice cream sundaes belonged to. I had to pipe up, are you going to take our money here ? And the girl looked so ignorantly at me took my tenner and then slammed the change in my hand. That girl needs a lesson in running a busy ice cream shop where it took seconds to get the ice cream but wait in a queue to pay. This is an issue that I’m sure people will avoid again due to not wanting to buy a melted ice cream. At then end we had to gulp the ice cream down as by the time we got outside to enjoy it half of it was gloop dripping all over the place.

Lovely wee space, good food. Tasty and clean

The last time I was there they were only accepting cash and not cards. Be prepared. Food good selection and very friendly staff

Lovely gluten free cheese and ham toastie with a nice fresh salad and coleslaw. The lady who served me was very friendly and helpful.

We visited Wrap and Roll, Market St today (20th Jan) and the women who served us was so lovely and chatty. Suited both our needs with two lovely salads and the food was so fresh and lovely. A real gem of a shop to stop for lunch, it suits all needs. Thank you.

We enjoyed such a lovely afternoon celebrating a birthday on Saturday. Staff were lovely, were welcoming with great chat and looked after us wonderfully well. Menu offers great choice and starters and mains were absolutely delicious. Cocktails were really good too!! We will choose to return again in the near future.

Nice and friendly staff , cosy atmosphere and delicious food. The cafe is one of the best What else?!

Found myself with an hour to kill so stopped in for lunch. Really friendly staff and my food was delicious. Icing on the cake was the lovely coffee afterwards and the most delicious homemade traybakes! A hidden gem!

£5 for a large ice cream with 2 sauces and loads of toppings…. Enough for 2 people to share ……delicious even in the rain
