The best restaurants in South Eastern NI

An absolutely cracking wee chip shop, hard to find and not much to look at but an absolute gem. We had haddock and chips and everything was cooked to perfection, no fuss, no nonsense just proper fish n chips and good portions. It's getting harder and harder to find a decent fish and chip shop and this wee place is well worth a visit if you appreciate a good fish supper.

Honestly THE nicest coffee I’ve ever had! Apparently it’s roasted locally - it’s called sleepers and it was so nice I went back in and bought 2kg of the beans!! A must try if you’re in the area

What can I say about this place? It’s hard to find a reason to visit the big city of Bangor and in-fact I used to find reasons not to visit but this Bar has changed all that and I now welcome the pilgrimage up to Costa Del Bangor like many Belfast inhabitants enjoyed before me in the heady summer days of the 60’s. Ginge’s is the perfect infusion of Aladdins Cave and Willy Wonkas chocolate factory and will have you going down a rabbit hole Alice herself would have marvelled at. A place where amazement and wonder are around every corner due to the atmosphere casually swinging from one of being on a special ops mission behind enemy lines with a crack team of Bangor veterans trying to compete a poker hand to one of casually chilling in front of an open fire with live music resembling days gone by whilst having craic and prime ministers questions with clientele you simply wouldn’t come across in your normal everyday life. From Olympians, musicians, tech savvy professionals and Dothraki bloodriders, Ginges has it all under one roof. Add to this an owner bringing in guest chefs to cook up bbq fare fitting of its surroundings and you found a niche in the hospitality sector. Ham hocks, lamb legs, sides of beef and multiple corn snacks are laid down in a feast fitting of a banqueting table of the tudors themselves. A unique experience indeed and one not to be passed up

Excellent coffee shop very popular with the older generation,quaint china,tasty sweets and pastries and decor on the walls is amazing.After eating spend time browsing the well stocked craft shop or enjoy another cuppa outside weather permitting and enjoy the views over the countryside. Spent an enjoyable few hours here and look forward to returning.

A lovely café that gives young people with learning difficulties an opportunity to work in a caring environment. I'd be there much more often if I could. Every visit has been a delight.

Had a fantastic lunch here while visiting Newcastle for the day. Enjoyed a beautiful 11 inch pepperoni pizza by the sea. Will definitely be back here when we revisit Newcastle!

I visited the restaurant for an evening meal and found it very enjoyable. I was delighted that having a GF meal was not a problem.

Not local to me but had to post something at the post office... and they are in the same place. A portion of Portavogie scampi for just £2.29 yes that is what I paid! Delicious and great value. No brainer really.

Excellent place to hae a coffee and play some games. they have a great sellection availble on the shelves, some extra ones you can buy and take home if you wish too. We organise board game sessions and DnD nights here regularly and the guys who run it are always friendly and welcoming. They are providing a great service and you should go check them out if you are looking to get involved in your local gaming scene.

My favourite cafe when I’m in Lisburn! The staff are so friendly and nothing is too much trouble! Not to mention the delicious traybakes on offer and cosy decor!

Called in for a takeaway coffee, have to say was the best flat white I've had.Good vibe in the cafe also.Friendly staff well worth the dander !

Thanks to David and the amazing chef's. Blown away by the food. This place goes under the radar a little. Food was outstanding. Was good value for the tasting menu. Will definitely be back again👌

Excellent fry freshly cooked plesant staff good service slight wait for freshly cooked food only to be expected well worth the short wait Can be busy and maybhave to wait for a table (always a good sign !) For those in the know this cafe is themed around the famous Rory Gallaher and his band Taste !

The BEST cafe in the town, recently moved, great friendly staff, great food and service, cant fault it.

Saintfields Best Chippy by a long way
